ABSTRACT
This chapter presents some closing thought on key concepts covered in this book. The book examines how the field deepens our understanding of society and why population matters. Population geography has maintained an interest in how populations are made. Population geography has recently enlarged its traditional concerns the spatial and demographic organization of society to consider the social and political ways in which populations reflect and influence the circulation of influence and power in society. During the 1960s and 1970s, much of the field's authority flowed from its proven ability to inform state policy and feed into debates on modernization and the implications of regional and local patterns of population growth. In reimagining Enlightenment views of context and spatial representation, Barbara Benishs Virgin Death opens up new windows on how people might rethink the challenges of population and geography. Geography was implicated in populations formation.
