Synopsis

This title provides a foundation to the field by establishing the substantive concerns of the sub-discipline, acknowledging the sheer diversity of its approaches, key concepts and theories. Written in an accessible style and assuming little prior knowledge of topics covered, the book discusses issues such as childhood and adulthood, family dynamics, ageing, everyday mobilities, morbidity and differential ability alongside the classic Population Geography triumvirate of births, migrations and deaths. Aimed at higher-level undergraduate and graduate students, this introductory text provides a well-developed pedagogy, including "real world" illustrations of theory, concepts and issues.
