Abstract
Population and the environment are intertwined in a complex web that demands the analysis of numerous theoretical and practical issues. These issues have been neglected in the past, and the topics of population and the environment artificially separated in both thought and action. This book attempts to fill these voids using an inductive and interdisciplinary approach. A series of authors contribute fifteen chapters organized into five sections. Section I explores global per - spectives relating to population and the environment, Section II analyzes the im - portance of the state as an actor, Section III focuses on population-environment dynamics in small communities, Section IV introduces a new theoretical frame - work and methodological innovation, and Section V offers a summary, conclusions, and ideas for 'next steps'.
