Title: The reader in population and development
Description: "In 1930, the global population stood at two billion; by 2000, it will exceed six billion. In the same period, the value of the global economy will have multiplied ten-fold."--BOOK JACKET. "In this Reader, the editors present a collection of seminal articles that explore these issues, drawn from a literate middle ground lying between the simplified popular treatments that characterize much of the debate, and the highly technical specialist literature."--BOOK JACKET. "This volume is an essential resource for students, researchers and professionals in disciplines concerned with development studies and should be of general interest to social scientists, historians and environmentalists."--Jacket.
