Download or read book Global Population written by Alison Bashford and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concern about the size of the world’s population did not begin with the Baby Boomers. Overpopulation as a conceptual problem originated after World War I and was understood as an issue with far-reaching ecological, agricultural, economic, and geopolitical consequences. This study traces the idea of a world population problem as it developed from the 1920s through the 1950s, long before the late-1960s notion of a postwar “population bomb.” Drawing on international conference transcripts, the volume reconstructs the twentieth-century discourse on population as an international issue concerned with migration, colonial expansion, sovereignty, and globalization. It connects the genealogy of population discourse to the rise of economically and demographically defined global regions, the characterization of “civilizations” with different standards of living, global attitudes toward “development,” and first- and third-world designations.

This book was released on 2003-02-01 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The anthrax incidents following the 9/11 terrorist attacks put the spotlight on the nation's public health agencies, placing it under an unprecedented scrutiny that added new dimensions to the complex issues considered in this report. The Future of the Public's Health in the 21st Century reaffirms the vision of Healthy People 2010, and outlines a systems approach to assuring the nation's health in practice, research, and policy. This approach focuses on joining the unique resources and perspectives of diverse sectors and entities and challenges these groups to work in a concerted, strategic way to promote and protect the public's health. Focusing on diverse partnerships as the framework for public health, the book discusses: The need for a shift from an individual to a population-based approach in practice, research, policy, and community engagement. The status of the governmental public health infrastructure and what needs to be improved, including its interface with the health care delivery system. The roles nongovernment actors, such as academia, business, local communities and the media can play in creating a healthy nation. Providing an accessible analysis, this book will be important to public health policy-makers and practitioners, business and community leaders, health advocates, educators and journalists.

Book excerpt: Population Geography, Second Edition focuses on the relationships between population distribution and environment. This book aims to introduce population study, explain the geographical approach, and suggest a frame on which to hang regional studies of population. This edition begins by defining population geography, followed by a discussion on the types and problems of data and world distribution of population. The measures of population density and distribution, urban and rural populations, patterns of fertility and mortality, and migrations are elaborated. The patterns of population composition that includes age-structure, sex-composition, marital status, families and households, economic composition, nationality, language, religion, and ethnic composition are also considered. This text concludes with a discussion on population growth and resources. This publication is intended as an introduction to population study for geographers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Population and Its Distribution: Compiled From the Figures of 1920 United States Census; Including Distribution of Retail and Wholesale Dealers, Compiled From Trade Sources The Census authorities were frequently consulted and the Com pany wishes to express its appreciation for their help and co-opera tion and especially to acknowledge its indebtedness to Mr. William C. Hunt, Chief Statistician for Population, for his generous interest in the work. The Bureau of the Census began to release the first city counts in April, 1920, and although it did the work in record time, the last of the data needed for this edition was not received until June, 1921. In compiling the material, we were governed in all instances by the rulings of the Bureau of the Census. Of particular importance is the Census definition of urban population; defined as that residing in cities and other incorporated places of inhabitants or more. However, in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire (except in two instances) it is not the practice, as in other states, to have municipal incorporations, such as villages, within the limits of the town, and no town becomes a city until its population is much in excess of For this reason it has been necessary to include in the urban territory of these states not only the population of cities but that of all towns having over inhabitants. The 'urban' area in each of these three states includes, therefore, some population which in other states would be classed as 'rural' but it is not thought that the propor tion of urban population is greatly increased thereby.

Download or read book Atlas of Jordan written by Myriam Ababsa and published by Presses de l’Ifpo. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This atlas aims to provide the reader with key pointers for a spatial analysis of the social, economic and political dynamics at work in Jordan, an exemplary country of the Middle East complexities. Being a product of seven years of scientific cooperation between Ifpo, the Royal Jordanian Geographic Center and the University of Jordan, it includes the contributions of 48 European, Jordanian and International researchers. A long historical part followed by sections on demography, economy, social disparities, urban challenges and major town and country planning, sheds light on the formation of Jordanian territories over time. Jordan has always been looked on as an exception in the Middle East due to the political stability that has prevailed since the country’s Independence in 1946, despite the challenge of integrating several waves of Palestinian, Iraqi and - more recently - Syrian refugees. Thanks to this stability and the peace accord signed with Israel in 1994, Jordan is one of the first countries in the world for development aid per capita.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Population and Its Distribution: Compiled From the United States Census Figures of 1910 Among other things the answer vitally affects your advertis ing. If you have dealers in, say only 48 of these 144 towns, one third of the whole - it is evident that any advertising you do will be seriously handicapped. This may not be your case - it is but one of many kinds of sales and distribution gaps which the determining of standards usually discloses. Whatever form the gap may take, it is the function of advertising to close it - to push the sales records closer to the quota. The form of the gap determines the form of the adver tising. One may require a national campaign - in magazines or news papers, supported perhaps by street cars, billboards, painted or electric signs, trade papers, window displays or circulars. Another may need advertising in selected territories only, using one or more of the mediums named above. Still another may require a form of service entirely outside these regular channels - trade promotion, sharpshooting with letters and booklets. In 48 years' advertising experience the J. Walter Thompson organization has used and studied them all, successfully conducting hundreds of campaigns of every variety. We dig for such fundamental facts as this book pre sents, then choose without prejudice whatever tools the task demands.
