About the Book

Over the last fifty years the world's population has more than doubled. According to experts, our ever-increasing demands will eventually exhaust the earth's supplies of fuel, water and food. Other experts argue that, as our numbers rise, scientists will develop new ways to sustain the human race withour harming the environment. This book will discuss both views and look at whether enough is being done to address this issue for the future. It looks at how and why the population is growing so fast, the pressure on resources, the effect on wildlife and habitats, food distribution, living spaces and urbanization, migration and refugees and suggests ways of controlling growth.

About the Author :
Rob Bowden is a freelance development geographer who has taught at the universities of Sussex, Brighton and Keele and worked in Africa and the Middle East. He specialises in international environment and development issues and has written numerous children's books.

The consultant, Hazel Barrett, is a Reader in Geography at Coventry University and has written several books on population issues. She is also editor of 'Geography', the journal for the Geographical Association.

Review :
So here's a matched pair of research primers that tend to make the publisher's claim of 'Ideal for Citizenship' quite credible. Library stocks should benenfit. - Books for Keeps No. 135 July 2002

This is a useful resource for students at secondary school . . . Every viewpoint is included, and the author discusses moral, religious and political arguments for and against population controls of all kinds. Many other topics for debate are referred to, such as genetically modified food, poverty, immigration, child workers, eugenics, contraception, AIDs and the environment. There is still a need for works of this kind on non-fiction shelves, especially where the author has avoided bias in any way. - The School Librarian, July 2002

[The] text is enlivened by 'Fact', 'Debate' and 'Viewpoint' statements. These latter, although sited in the pages' margins are from from marginal in nature. - Books for Keeps No. 135 July 2002
