By 2100, the human population may exceed 11 billion. Having recently surpassed 7.5 billion, it has trebled since 1950. Are such numbers sustainable, given a deepening environmental crisis? Can so many live well? Or should world population be controlled? The population question, one of the twentieth century's most bitterly contested issues, is being debated once again. In this compelling book, Diana Coole examines some of the profound political and ethical questions involved. Are ethical objections to government interference with individuals reproductive freedom definitive? Is it possible to limit population in a non-coercive way that is consistent with liberal-democratic values? Interweaving erudite original analysis with an accessible overview of the crucial debates, Coole argues that a case can be made for reducing our numbers in ways that are compatible with human rights. This book will be essential reading for anyone interested in one of the most important questions facing our planet, from concerned citizens to students of politics, sociology, political economy, gender studies and environmental studies.

Family relations are undergoing dramatic changes globally and locally. At the same time, certain features of family life endure. This popular book, now in a fully updated second edition, explores the growing diversity of family life and presents a comprehensive assessment of recent research on 'family', parenting, childhood and interpersonal ties.A Sociology of Family Life queries assumptions about a disintegration of 'the family' by revealing a remarkable persistence of commitment and reciprocity across cultures, within new as well as traditional family forms. Yet while new kinds of intimate relationships such as 'friends as family' and same-sex families become commonplace, such personal relationships can still be difficult to negotiate in the face of wider structural norms. With a focus on social factors such as class, gender, race and sexuality, this new edition highlights social inequalities that influence and curb families and personal life transnationally. Alongside substantial new material on cultural and digital transformations, the book features extensive updates on themes and issues ranging from demography, migration, ageing and government policies, to reproductive technologies, employment and care.With a global focus, and blending theory with real-life examples, this insightful and engaging book will remain indispensable to students across the social sciences.
