This atlas, published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) describes the Interrelationship
between population and environmental issues. Population density, the world wide consumption of natural resources, the
relation between population and land use, the atmosphere, ecosystems, and biodiversity are described in maps, graphics and text. Also included is information in the political ramifications of some of these issues such as brief mention of the Kyoto
Protocol and the 1998 OSPAR Treaty. There is also a wealth of statistics on factors influencing environmental concerns such
as the amount of vehicles owned in certain countries and the amount of Biomass burned and Carbon Dioxide produced in
the 1990s.
