The Modern Rise of Population by Thomas McKeown PDF Summary

Book Description: "One of the truly important books of our time." The modern rise of population is one of the great themes of history. Ten thousand years ago thee were less than 10 million people in the world. By 1750 there were 750 million and, from that time to the present, the growth has continued at a rapid and ever advancingrate. World population reached 1,000 million in 1830, 2,000 million a century later, and today exceeds 4,000 million. Although the phenomenon has received considerable attention, interest has centered on its iplications for the future and the causes have been neglected. This study rights the balance. The approach is both novel and comprehensive, and the conclusions are controversial. The author challenges manu common assumptions and argues, for instance, that the health of man 'is only marginally influenced by personal medical care'. Notable for its grasp of complex and biological and medical issues and for its lucid style, this is a thorough interpretation of a subject which must concern us all." -- Publisher description.
