The other book that comes to mind by Marshak and Culbreath is 'The
Prometheus Design'.  Interesting book, by the way, dealing with
questions of whether self-destruction can ever be avoided by any
sentient race.  The question is based on the so-called 'Hell's Kitchen'
experiments (overcrowding rats), which showed that aberrant behavior may
in some way be related to population density.  I didn't find it to be
anywhere near the caliber of the Phoenix books, but enjoyable
nonetheless.
