Reviews
'Shah makes clear the need for a discourse on population between biologists and economists...' -- Carl N. McDaniel, Environmental Values 'It is refreshing to read a book about population that treats the subject in a rounded, objective fashion: a fitting tribute to the two-hundredth anniversary of the publication of Malthus' Essay on the Principle of Population. Shah marries the fields of ecology and economics to gain a more realistic view of the population question than either discipline is capable of on its own... This book really ought to reach a wide audience...' -- Place 'The book should prove useful as a short and accessible introduction to the population growth debate: it brings together the economic and ecological strands and summarises clearly the basic issues.' -- William A. Jackson, The Economic Journal '... it offers many original insights into the population question and should interest academics and professionals in various disciplines.' -- J.R. McDonald, Choice 'His knowledge is encyclopaedic and he has one of the clearest and most engaging writing styles I have seen for a very long time... It is unique as a volume because it weaves a good story from both ancient and modern theories of population change. Especially attractive is the exposition of recent economic theories of fertility... Thoroughly recommended.' -- David Pearce, University College London, UK
