| Human beings are a hardy species. Despite war, famine, disease, and contraception, the global human population continues to grow, although in ever-changing ways. This month's Focus article (p. A598) looks at global population dynamics--how much we're growing, where we're living, how many resources we're consuming--and where these trends are likely to lead us in the future.
