- Summary
- "Ensuring that population, environment and poverty factors are integrated into sustainable development policies challenges researchers and scholars to develop a reliable measure of their interlinkages, given the many inextricable relations between demographic trends, production, consumption and other human activities." "This book takes a holistic approach to achieving that balance. The environmental impact of human populations vary geographically depending upon the fragility of the resource base, population densities and prevailing societal ethos. Understanding these variables is advanced by case-studies and data bases on environmental trends and human behaviours."--BOOK JACKET.
