Title: The Earthscan 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." "These twin processes of massive growth have profound consequences for human life, for societies and the international system, and for the global environment. 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. The material represents a wide range of positions within this highly-charged field."--Jacket.
