An Introduction to Population Geographies provides a foundation to
the incredibly diverse, topical and interesting field of
twenty-first-century population geography. It establishes the
substantive concerns of the subdiscipline, acknowledges the sheer
diversity of its approaches, key concepts and theories and engages
with the resulting major areas of academic debate that stem from
this richness. Written in an accessible style and assuming little
prior knowledge of topics covered, yet drawing on a wide range of
diverse academic literature, the book's particular originality
comes from its extended definition of population geography that
locates it firmly within the multiple geographies of the life
course. Consequently, issues such as childhood and adulthood,
family dynamics, ageing, everyday mobilities, morbidity and
differential ability assume a prominent place alongside the classic
population geography triumvirate of births, migrations and deaths.
This broader framing of the field allows the book to address more
holistically aspects of lives across space often provided little
attention in current textbooks. Particular note is given to how
these lives are shaped though hybrid social, biological and
individual arenas of differential life course experience. By
engaging with traditional quantitative perspectives and newer
qualitative insights, the authors engage students from the
quantitative macro scale of population to the micro individual
scale. Aimed at higher-level undergraduate and graduate students,
this introductory text provides a well-developed pedagogy,
including case studies that illustrate theory, concepts and issues.
