Environmental change and human survival - Stephen Molnar

This text offers a perspective of human ecology by examination of the linkages between human actions and environmental inputs. A historical context traces demographic and cultural developments through a series of demographic landmarks, and provides a balance to the book's survey of recent and contemporary populations. It acknowledges the unprecedented growth of the human species during the twentieth century, environmental and social changes-and emphasizes that our survival of these changes depends upon a clearer understanding of populations, society, and their adaptations.
