Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an overview of the global history of human population growth. The author traces how changes in birth and death rates resulted in the Great Acceleration of population growth in the 19th and 20th centuries. The author explains how the rapid population growth of this era has had a profound impact on human history. The sudden influx of people in various parts of the world has forced profound changes to the political and economic landscape. The author particularly underscores the role that population growth has played in the history of European colonialism and the exploitation of the Global South. By looking at historical patterns of growth, the author argues that population growth rates will soon decline in many parts of the world due to the increasing availability of birth control and improvements in healthcare. This text is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the population changes that have shaped our past, and how they might shape our future.
