Abstract "This new edition will serve as an update to the widely adopted and celebrated previous edition. Chapters will be updated to include the most up-to-date data, scholarly developments, and bibliographies for further reading, Two new chapters will be added, to bring in contemporary issues. The first new chapter will focus on major events in global health - especially Covid-19 - and their impact on migration and population mobility; as well as a more detailed examination of climate change, urbanisation, and deforestation. The other new chapter will focus on international population policies and the role of population in international relations. Overall, this new edition will expand the appeal of the previous, maintaining its appeal to geographers and historians whilst broadening its scope to sociologists, political scientists, and anthropologists"-- Provided by publisher.
