Summary
"Population Politics is a provocative examination of the influence of aid and liberal immigration policies on world population and of the often counterproductive role taken by the United States as an industrial power. This volume's uniquely interdisciplinary perspective will enlighten the lay reader, as well as demographers and epidemiologists, conservationists, reproduction and family specialists, agricultural economists, and public health personnel."--BOOK JACKET.
