World Population: Past, Present, & Future uses a
multidisciplinary approach to investigate in depth on important
aspects of the evolution of world population not well addressed
previously. The authors from the Universidad Autonoma, Madrid
(Spain), professors Julio A Gonzalo, Manuel Alfonseca, and
Felix-Fernando Munoz, point out that the recent pronounced growth
in world population (accompanied by an even more pronounced growth
in agricultural production) was due mainly to the increase of life
expectancy and not to the (inexistent) growth in fertility rate.
Using a 'rate equations' approach for the first time, they describe
population trends and forecast the possibility of steps up (or
down) in population rather than the exponential growth predicted by
UN demographers around 1985 and thereafter. This book provides a
new perspective that our planet is not overpopulated and could, in
fact, house a considerably larger population.
