Synopsis

An Overcrowded World? shows that uneven development both worsens problems in particular areas and prevents a unified global response. As a result of geography, unsustainable lifestyles continue and are being extended to larger numbers of people. In that respect, the world is truly overcrowded.
Because of the approachable way in which this book has been prepared, it will appeal to anyone who is keen to understand the vital issues it addresses. However, it will be particularly appropriate to both sixth-formers and undergraduates following courses in human geography and environmental studies.

Review:

`Eminently suitable for sixth-form studies. The layout of text, numerous tables, diagrams and half-tones (with the luxury of eleven colour plates) are admirably clear. Every school ought to have a copy and hopefully a cheaper paperback edition will encourage them to buy one.'
Geography

`An attractive book with well-laid out tables of statistics ... through a well balanced mix of text, boxed case studies and highlighted activities, the book invites interactive study ... An excellent book to support a classroom programme of study.'
Geography Matters, The Royal Geographical Society Magazine
