Description

This comprehensive yet accessible textbook is an ideal resource for undergraduate and graduate students taking their first course in demography.

Clearly explaining technical demographic issues without using extensive mathematics, Population and Society is sociologically oriented, but incorporates a variety of social sciences in its approach, including economics, political science, geography, and history.

It highlights the significant impact of decision-making at the individual level - especially regarding fertility, but also mortality and migration - on population change.

The text engages students by providing numerous examples of demography's practical applications in their lives, and demonstrates the extent of its relevance by examining a wide selection of data from the United States, Africa, Asia, and Europe.

This thoroughly revised edition includes four new chapters, covering topics such as race and sexuality, and encourages students to consider the broad implications of population growth and change for global challenges such as environmental degradation.
