"This book is an excellent summation of knowledge and a
thoughtful attempt to interpret a thousand years of European
history. It will provide useful reading material for students of
European population, for experts in the field and for readers
everywhere interested in understanding just how Europe came to be
the way it is." Journal of Population Research
"In this book, Livi-Bacci manages to link factors which direct
the demographic system of a population, and thereby its
development, with cultural as well as environmental conditions in a
lively and narrative fashion. It is in this way that Livi-Bacci
succeeds in giving a complex picture of culture in Europe, customs,
behaviours, values and norms. Thus the book is of interest not only
for population geographers but for all readers with an interest in
Europe." International Journal of Population Geography
"Good Synthetic treatments of European historical demography are
scarce, and the publication of Massimo Livi-Bacci's Population
History of Europe is much to be welcomed ... the book can be
highly recommended as an introductory/intermediate level student
text on European population history, and to non-specialists as a
point of entry to the discipline of historical demography."
English Historical Review
"A stimulating book, which offers an effective introduction to
demographic history for the non-specialist." History
"He has provided an accessible and eminently readable
introduction to the population history of Europe ... with a level
of insight and penetration that few introductory texts can match
... the work will also attract many historians to the otherwise
dauntingly quantitative world of demography." Population
Studies
"The Population of Europe provides a masterly volume for the 'Making of modern Europe' series... a work of great scholarship, drawing extensively from the bulk of demographic research published over half a century or more..." Progress in Human Geography
