Impressed Black Boards. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. EX-LIB/UNCIRCULATED COPY. Text/BRAND NEW & Bright. . Black linen boards w/gilt spine lettering/NF. DJ/None. 1920's study of demographics & gov' immigration policies in which Europe & Asia were regarded as over-populated, while Africa, America, Australia & New Zealand are under- populated. A study of socio- economic consequences of over population in world where agricultural methods & standards of living vary greatly. 20 chapters in 2 parts. Points made by author are: "(1) that unless there is an immediate extension of general birth control, the world's population will increase at an almost overwhelmingly rapid rate; (2) that there will ensue intense pressure of population, much unemployment and great shortage of food in certain countries; (3) that peaceful migration is no longer a solution to over-population; (4) that the provision of food for the vastly greater numbers of people must depend on more intense cultivation, on the development of unused land & on conservation of rainfall (water), all of which call for capital investment & maintenance of sound credit, and (5) that whilst peace & progress in international trade are essentia, war for the purpose of relieving over-population in certain countries cannot be regarded as improbable which, in some cases, no other means seem available. Strong copy.
