It is about agricultural production, military conflict, colonies, and race. In short, population history is the human story. This book shows that population issues-numbers of people, how to feed them, their employment, racial makeup, intelligence, health, sexual behavior, and reproduction-have concerned authorities for centuries. The primary documents in this volume illustrate those concerns from the mid-18th century to the present.
