Making Population Geography is a lively account of the intellectual history of population geography, arguing that, while population geography may drift in and out of fashion, it must continue to supplement its demographic approach with a renewed emphasis on cultural and political accounts of compelling population topics, such as HIV-AIDS, sex trafficking, teen pregnancy, citizenship and global ageing, in order for it to shed light on contemporary society. Making Population Geography draws both on the writings of those like Wilbur Zelinsky and Pat Gober who were at the very epicentre of spatial science in the 1960s and those like Michael Brown and Yvonne Underhill-Sem whose post-punk introspe...
You’ve never, ever read a story like this. Ashley Young is stuck in an unsatisfying marriage and a dead-end job. But when a sexually transmitted plague breaks out in her small town—one that slowly transforms everyone infected into crazed zombielike sex fiends—everything about her life changes. Facing quarantine, National Guard barricades, the onset of winter, and a rapidly spreading, mysterious sex plague, Ashley and everyone else in her small Colorado town find their deepest feelings for one another surfacing…both amorously and violently.

'This book shows how science, and particularly Darwinism, affects Christian faith. It runs contrary to much popular Christian writing by showing that they are not natural bedfellows. Christianity needs to be re-thought, almost from scratch.' Firstly it sets out the overwhelming case for evolution. Then concepts such as creation, the fall, original sin, atonement, the second coming and a God who answers prayer are all re-examined in the light of Darwinism. Contemporary ethical issues, such as genetic modification, climate change and homosexuality then come under the spotlight. Finally it shows how the practice of Christian faith, e.g. worship and evangelism, need to change. The book ends on a note of hope.

Taking this research agenda forward, this book explores how religious beliefs inform and construct social identities, pu...
