Description
This full-color text offers a comprehensive introduction to population geography, grounding students in the tools and techniques that are used to describe and understand population concepts. Arguing that an understanding of population is essential to prepare for the future, Newbold provides undergraduates with a thorough grasp of the field.
Accompanied by instructor resources, the book is fully updated to include new demographic trends following the COVID-19 pandemic. Loaded with pedagogy, such as end of chapter “Focus” boxes that weave in substantive discussions of interesting current issues, and “Methods, Measures, and Tools” boxes, the book illustrates how population geography questions are tackled.
New to this Edition:
Impacts of COVID-19 on mortality, fertility, and mobility patterns
Population aging
Expansion of non-US examples to highlight key concepts
Recent trends and policy updates
New illustrations
