| Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references (p. 211-232) and index The Changing World Population -- Vulnerable Links in the Chain of Reproductive Events -- The Changing Modern Woman -- The Pill and IUD Modernized Contraception -- Beyond the Pill and the IUD -- Is Contraception Research a Male Chauvinist Plot? -- Barriers to Developing New Contraceptives -- Feeding the World's People -- Globalization, Population, and the Changing Environment -- Reproductive Health, Education, and Gender Equality -- Population and the Changing Burden of Illness In this concise, understandable and hard-hitting analysis of human affairs affected by population growth, Sheldon Segal lays out the problems and suggests the solutions. In topics ranging from global food supply, to environmental problems, to urbanization, he gives us his take on the importance of moving a society from high fertility to low fertility. By using the Banyan Tree as a metaphor for nature's classroom, often the only schoolroom in impoverished rural villages, Segal highlights the role of education in uplifting women and reducing the birth rate. In the near future the world will require food for 3 billion more people - the major proportion of this population increase occurring in societies with current existing high levels of malnutrition. Dr Segal traces the evolution of the population movement from an emphasis on demographic issues to the pre-eminence of women's health and empowerment. The book includes an authoritative analysis of the biology of human reproduction and contraception, including the potential for new contraceptive methods for both women and men.; Segal urges a coaliltion of concerned leadership in the field, reminding us that we face real antagnosists who are zealous opponents of population policy. Laced with entertaining anecdotes and eyewitness descriptions of key events of the last half of the 20th century, this is a remarkable account of the global transition to lower fertility, told by someone who has been both a participant and an observer in this historic epoch |

Segal Oxford Oxford University Press 2003 1 Online-Ressource (xxix, 242 p.) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references (p. 211-232) and index The Changing World Population -- Vulnerable Links in the Chain of Reproductive Events -- The Changing Modern Woman -- The Pill and IUD Modernized Contraception -- Beyond the Pill and the IUD -- Is Contraception Research a Male Chauvinist Plot? -- Barriers to Developing New Contraceptives -- Feeding the World's People -- Globalization, Population, and the Changing Environment -- Reproductive Health, Education, and Gender Equality -- Population and the Changing Burden of Illness In this concise, understandable and hard-hitting analysis of human affairs affected by population growth, Sheldon Segal lays out the problems and suggests the solutions. In topics ranging from global food supply, to environmental problems, to urbanization, he gives us his take on the importance of moving a society from high fertility to low fertility. By using the Banyan Tree as a metaphor for nature's classroom, often the only schoolroom in impoverished rural villages, Segal highlights the role of education in uplifting women and reducing the birth rate. In the near future the world will require food for 3 billion more people - the major proportion of this population increase occurring in societies with current existing high levels of malnutrition. Dr Segal traces the evolution of the population movement from an emphasis on demographic issues to the pre-eminence of women's health and empowerment. The book includes an authoritative analysis of the biology of human reproduction and contraception, including the potential for new contraceptive methods for both women and men.; Segal urges a coaliltion of concerned leadership in the field, reminding us that we face real antagnosists who are zealous opponents of population policy. Laced with entertaining anecdotes and eyewitness descriptions of key events of the last half of the 20th century, this is a remarkable account of the global transition to lower fertility, told by someone who has been both a participant and an observer in this historic epoch Contraception Population / Recherche Politique démographique Médecine sociale HEALTH & FITNESS / Sexuality bisacsh MEDICAL / Reproductive Medicine & Technology bisacsh Contraception fast Population policy fast Population research fast Social medicine fast Contraception / Personal Narratives Family Planning Policy / Personal Narratives Family Planning Services / Personal Narratives Population Control / Personal Narratives Population Growth / Personal Narratives World Health / Personal Narratives Medizin Population research Population policy Social medicine Geburtenregelung (DE-588)4019593-4 gnd rswk-swf Familienplanung (DE-588)4113510-6 gnd rswk-swf Bevölkerungswachstum (DE-588)4129300-9 gnd rswk-swf Sexualerziehung (DE-588)4054679-2 gnd rswk-swf Entwicklungsländer (DE-588)4014954-7 gnd rswk-swf Entwicklungsländer (DE-588)4014954-7 g Bevölkerungswachstum (DE-588)4129300-9 s Familienplanung (DE-588)4113510-6 s Sexualerziehung (DE-588)4054679-2 s 1\p DE-604 Geburtenregelung (DE-588)4019593-4 s 2\p DE-604 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=121016 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
