An Overcrowded World?

This text explores issues of resource use and depletion as well as the topic of population growth and contraction. The key interest is the impact that developments in one part of the world have upon people's lifestyles and the forms of inequality inscribed in the connections between rich and poor countries. The issue of whether or not there is a global problem of resources is addressed head on. The book is intended for 1st and 2nd-year human geography students studying population and the environment at higher education institutions.
