An Overcrowded World? shows that uneven development both worsens problems in particular areas and prevents a unified global response. As a result of geography, unsustainable lifestyles continue and are being extended to larger numbers of people. In that respect, the world is truly overcrowded. Because of the approachable way in which this book has been prepared, it will appeal to anyone who is keen to understand the vital issues it addresses. However, it will be particularly appropriate to both sixth-formers and undergraduates following courses in human geography and environmental studies.
