An overcrowded world? : population, resources and the environment
Part of the The Shape of the World: Explorations in Human Geography series
This book explores the issues of resource use and depletion as well as the topic of population growth and contraction.
The key interest is the impact that developments in one part of the world have upon people's lifestyles and the forms of inequality inscribed in the connections between rich and poor countries.
The study of wilderness and the notion of empty space are used to introduce questions of national resources, sustainability, and ecology.

The issue of whether or not there is a global problem of resources is addressed head on.The book is the third in a series of five books which offers a comprehensive, broad-based introduction to human geography.
