520    "A provocative description of the power of population 
       change to create the conditions for societal 
       transformation. As the world nears 8 billion people, the 
       countries that have led the global order since World War 
       II are becoming the most aged societies in human history. 
       At the same time, the world's poorest and least powerful 
       countries are suffocating under an imbalance of population
       and resources. In 8 Billion and Counting, political 
       demographer Jennifer D. Sciubba argues that a deeper 
       understanding of fertility, mortality, and migration 
       trends points us toward the investments we need to make 
       today to shape the future we want tomorrow. Drawing from 
       decades of research, policy experience, and teaching, 
       Sciubba employs stories and statistics to explain how 
       demographic trends, like age structure and ethnic 
       composition, signal crucial signposts for future violence 
       and peace, repression and democracy, poverty and 
       prosperity. Provocative and engrossing, 8 Billion and 
       Counting is required reading for business leaders, 
       policymakers, and anyone eager to anticipate political, 
       economic, and social risks and opportunities"--|cProvided
