Sommario/riassunto

This valuable book summarizes recent research on the effects of population growth on land use. It is a useful introduction to this field and includes case studies of African, Asian, and Latin American



countries that demonstrate the varied effects of population growth on land use. Several general chapters address the following timely questions: What is meant by land use change? Why are ecological research and population studies so different? What are the implications for sustainable growth?
