Rat city : overcrowding and urban derangement in the rodent universes of John B. Calhoun
During the 1960s, America is in turmoil: faced with rising crime, social upheaval, sexual deviancy, and civic unrest, blame increasingly falls on the pressures of overpopulation. The stress of city life is driving everyone mad. Enter John B. Calhoun, an ecologist-turned-psychologist employed by the National Institute of Mental Health to study the effects of crowding on rats. Over three decades, Calhoun builds a series of 'rodent utopias' where every need is met - except space. Jon Adams and Edmund Ramsden's 'Rat City' tells the story of John Calhoun and his rodent utopias, culminating in the terrifying world of Universe 25: a rodent habitat where the only strategy for survival is complete social withdrawal.
