Description

Population Geography provides students with an introduction to the subject, a task that requires integrating information from many disciplines including demography, geography, sociology, anthropology, psychology, political science, economics, biology, medicine, and philosophy. Population Geography takes a close look at causes and consequences of dramatic population growth in recent decades as well as a discussion of countries experiencing slow and zero population growth.

Population Geography features updated information on:

  • The U.S. Census Bureau and the statistics of Canada and other countries
  • Current population data and demographic trends shown in color maps, graphs, and tables
  • Global warming, including recent reports and plans from the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC)
  • Genetically-modified foods and some of the anticipated benefits and problems
  • U.S. immigration
  • The consequences of urbanization and the resulting decline in populations of the Great Plains; and the AIDS pandemic

Population Geography covers important population issues including:

  • Population growth
  • Demographics
  • Population distribution and composition
  • Basic demographic processes, mortality, fertility, and migration
  • Relationship between population, environment, and food supply
