Jo Martins, Fei Guo and David Swanson have completed Global Population in
Transition, which will be released by Springer in June.
In a sweeping review of human population past, present and future, the book
deals with macro and micro aspects of population change and brings together ma-
terial often scattered in a number of sources and disciplines that serves to better
understand population change and its socio-economic determinants and
consequences.
Guo and Martins are professors of business
administration at Macquarie University in
Sydney, Australia. Swanson is a professor of
sociology at the University of California
Riverside and a regional faculty affiliate of
the Center for Studies in Demography and
Ecology, University of Washington.
Guo and Swanson received their PhDs (in so-
ciology) from the University of Hawai'i in
1996 and 1985, respectively. They also are
alumni of the East-West Center's program in
population studies.
Martins completed his dissertation at the Uni-
versity of Sydney.
