8 Billion and Counting: How Sex, Death, and Migration Shape Our World

byJennifer Sciubba

A provocative description of the power of population change to create the conditions for societal transformation. Drawing on archival evidence, political analysis, and reconstructed events, the narrative gives 8 Billion and Counting a concrete sense of time, place, and consequence. Across the book, how sex, death, and migration shape our world becomes a way to examine power, adaptation, responsibility, and change within political science and social science. 8 Billion and Counting ultimately offers a nuanced guide to the evidence, the human stakes, and the consequences that make this subject worth revisiting.
