Clarke -- Population, community and society in peasant societies / Robert Layton -- From genetic variation to population dynamics: insights into the biological understanding of humans / Jaume Bertranpetit and Francesc Calafell -- Social institutions and demographic regimes in non-industrial societies: a comparative approach / Richard Smith -- The dynamics of child survival / Emily K. Rousham and Louise T. Humphrey -- Genetic structure of south Indian caste populations: a confluence of biology and culture / L.B Jorde [and others] -- Fertility, mortality and migration transitions in association with socioeconomic modernization among highland minority populations in Southeast Asia / Peter Kunstadter -- Ecology, homeostasis and survival in human population dynamics / Robert Attenborough.
Human Population Dynamics is an introductory text demonstrating how changes in human population structure can be addressed from multi-disciplinary perspectives.
