This compact and accessible text provides a
comprehensive, issue-oriented introduction to population geography.
After grounding students in the fundamentals, K. Bruce Newbold then
explains the tools and techniques commonly used to describe and
understand population concepts using real-world issues and events.
Drawing on both US and international cases, he explores such
pressing concerns as HIV/AIDS, international migration, fertility,
mortality, resource scarcity, and conflict. Every chapter includes
methods and focus sections, as well as study questions, to provide
a more in-depth discussion of the ideas and concepts developed in
the book. In addition, a wide array of maps, tables, and figures
illustrates and enhances the cases. Newbold highlights the
geographical perspective—with its ability to provide powerful
insights and bridge disparate issues—by emphasizing the role of
space and place, location, regional differences, and diffusion.
Arguing that an understanding of population is essential to prepare
for the future, this cogent text will provide upper-division
undergraduates with a thorough grasp of the field.
