Sergei Kapitsa (1928-2012), a famous Russian physicist, presents himself as a a social scientist and demographer in this book. He studies the new phase of development of mankind, the phase of restricted demographic reproduction, its global trends, challenges and alternatives. Bibliography.
The author have good taste as a physicist, therefore his writing on population dynamics is a pleasure to read for a physics inclined person. The forecast of population stabilization is really unusual in general discussion (especially when it was made).
The book list in the end is worth studying (at least for me).
