An Introduction to Population Geographies: Lives Across Space Holly R. Barcus and Keith Halfacree are English-language studybooks focused on the rich and diverse subdiscipline of population geographies. This book provides a thorough introduction to the complex relationships between population dynamics and lives across spatial scales.
The book covers the main themes within this discipline, including birth, migration and mortality, but extends this to life stages such as youth, adulthood, ageing and health. Through a multidisciplinary approach, social, biological and individual processes are considered in conjunction. This makes it suitable for students in higher education who want to develop a deep understanding of population geographies and how lives manifest across space.
The authors combine quantitative and qualitative methods and provide a clear structure with practical examples and case studies. This facilitates a broad insight into lives across space and population issues, fitting for programmes within the social sciences and geography.
