An inexplicable decline in the birth-rate leads to an investigation and the discovery that the water of Great Britain has been treated with a substance that has left nearly 100% of British women sterile. The country faces total collapse under the effects of a population implosion. Dr. John Bart, Minister of Health, is forced to ruthless and totalitarian measures in the face of a growing violence and anarchy. His wife, along with other fertile women, is consigned to a breeding camp, where potential mothers are kept under heavy guard, and where they will bear -- thanks to fertility drugs -- litters of children. What can be the outcome of this desperate experiment?

"This is the story of the considerable contribution of the Ebbw valleys in south Wales to the industrial decisions and changes which formed the modern world." "It is the first history of the Ebbw valleys, which are considered to be among the major valleys of the south Wales coalfield. It is a study of a historically neglected yet, in some unexpected ways, remarkable area, both in its substantial contribution to the genesis of the modern industrial world and to the understanding of industrial change. Indeed, some historians would assert that the understanding of change is best studied by considering the history of such places."--BOOK JACKET.
