Publié pour la première fois en 1959, Questions de géographie de la population poursuit une réflexion commencée huit ans plus tôt par Pierre George (1909-2006) avec son livre Introduction à l’étude géographique de la population du monde, réédité en 2022 aux Éditions de l’Ined. Accueilli en son temps comme un travail majeur, à la croisée de la géographie et de la démographie, cet ouvrage ambitieux aborde les rapports qu’entretiennent, de fait, les deux disciplines, en analysant la répartition des populations dans l’espace, les liens entre géographie physique et population, mais aussi les rapports entre économie et population ainsi que les migrations. Cette approche scientifique, très neuve pour l’époque, s’appuie sur l’utilisation des méthodes quantitatives de la démographie, ouvrant ainsi un nouveau champ disciplinaire. Humaniste engagé, Pierre George livre ici non seulement une étude géographique des faits démographiques mais en appelle aussi à la solidarité mondiale face à la menace d’un fossé qui « se creuse entre deux humanités, l’humanité nantie, confortable, qui est malthusienne […] et l’humanité famélique, mal vêtue, qui n’a pour abris que des masures ou des cabanes ». Sa conclusion prend ainsi la forme d’un réquisitoire sur ce qui est, selon lui, le problème majeur de la fin du xxe siècle. Force est de constater que ce problème n’a rien perdu de son actualité. Cette réédition est préfacée par Denise Pumain, professeure émérite de renommée internationale, spécialiste de la modélisation en sciences sociales et de l’urbanisation.

Although mathematical demography has traditionally studied the so-called stable population (fixed mortality and fertility schedules), Ansley Coale investigates now the dynamics of population growth and structure-the changing age composition of a population as birth and death rates fluctuate.Originally published in 1972.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

The Handbook of Population is organized for classroom as well as reference use. It is divided into four sections – Population Structure, Population Processes, Population and the Social Sciences, and Applied Demography – and includes both an Introduction and an Epilogue by the editors. Part I, Population Structure, contains chapters on population size and growth, age and sex composition, marriage and family structure, and demographic analyses of gender, aging, race and ethnicity, and the labor force. Part II is focused on population processes, and includes chapters on fertility, infant and adult mortality, internal and international migration, and the demography of social stratification. Part III reflects the growing multidisciplinary nature of demography. Finally, Part IV recognizes the varied practical applications of demographic perspectives and data to national and global issues and problems. The chapter authors in this volume are among the leading contributors to demographic scholarship over the past four decades, representing a variety of disciplines and theoretical perspectives, as well as interests in both basic and applied research. From the reviews: "A systematic appraisal of the field of demography is long overdue. It has been almost five decades since Philip Hauser and Otis Dudley Duncan published their classic The Study of Population. The volume naturally covers the latest developments in time-honored fields such as age and sex, marriage and family, mortality, fertility, and both internal and international migration. It also inlcudes new material on subjects that did not even exist at the time of the last survey, including biodemography, anthropological demography, and political demography. This comprehensive review of 50 years of progress in theoretical and empirical knowledge confirms that demography is indeed a cumulative science." (Douglas S. Massey, Princeton) "The Handbook of Population is a worthy successor to the 1959 publication of The Study of Population edited by Hauser and Duncan. The editors did a remarkable job of putting together an excellent outline that covers every topic within Demography. The editors did an even more remarkable job in gathering such talented scholars to write each chapter. Together they mesh into what will soon become ou 'bible.' It should be in every college library and should be on every demographer's desk." (Leon Bouvier, Old Dominion University).
