Population, Land Use, and Environment: Research Directions offers recommendationsfor future research to improve understanding of how changes in human populationsaffect the natural environment by means of changes in land use, such as deforestation,urban development, and development of coastal zones. It also features a setof state-of-the-art papers by leading researchers that analyze population-land useenvironmentrelationships in urban and rural settings in developed and underdevelopedcountries and that show how remote sensing and other observational methodsare being applied to these issues. This book will serve as a resource for researchers,research funders, and students.

Representing the culmination of more than a decade of empirical research in post-Mao China, this collection of essays explores changes in the nature of work in relation to changes in households, migration patterns, and gender roles during an era of economic reform. The contributors are respected scholars in fields that range from history and anthropology to demography and sociology. They use a variety of data and diverse approaches to gauge the impact of new economic opportunities on Chinese households and to show how the rise of the private sector, the industrialization of the countryside, and increased migration have affected Chinese workers and workplaces. The collection also asks us to consider how gender roles have been redefined by the economic and institutional changes that arose from post-Mao market reform.
