British Population History : From the Black Death to the Present Day, Paperback / softback Book

British Population History : From the Black Death to the Present Day Paperback / softback

Edited by Michael (University of Edinburgh) Anderson

Paperback / softback

Description

This book brings together in one volume the four studies on British population history already published in the series New Studies in Economic and Social History, and adds to them a new essay on British population in the twentieth century.

Between them, the authors survey the trends and debates in British population history from 1348 to 1991.

Research over the past twenty-five years has transformed our understanding of how population has grown and declined, of why the numbers of births, deaths, marriages and migrants have risen and fallen, and thrown much new light on the economic and social impact of these changes.

The studies in this book supply introductions to these problems for readers who are not themselves demographers but who, as students, teachers, or non-specialist historians and social scientists, want to know more about what happened and what are the main topics of current debate.

Full bibliographies for further study are included.
