Population: An Introduction to Concepts and Issues
$170.95
This is a textbook that is easy to read and covers alot of theory, but nothing complicated.

This is a book on demographic theory, not demographic methods, they are often studied separately.
(A good book methods is Preston's Demography: Measuring and Modeling Population Processes)
It explains the major formulas in an easy way, but you really need a methods book to learn all the practical techniques.

The purpose of this book is to explain the major demographic variables: mortality, fertility, and migration.
It tends to use a historical perspective and uses examples from all over the world.
I thought the book was easy to read and very informative, and it explained the formulas in a non-technical way which helped me understand the methodology better.

The Legend Of Arman - From the earliest days, a royal line of God-Kings has benevolently watched over us, guiding the actions of all nations. And the world proposed; until the Black Brethern arose. Jealous of the King's powers, they swore to eradicate the Royal Line. The King's heir, Arman, was still a child when the Black Brethern stormed the palace atop Mount Psion. They killed the King and exiled Arman into space for eternity in cryogenic sleep. The age of despair had begun. Death camps, Torture, Brainwashing, Environmental corruption, Genocide. Its 400 years later, and Arman, the last of the Warrior Messiah's has returned. Vengeance will be his. No flesh shall be spared.

National Geographic: Aftermath - Population Zero

My kids love this DVD. Great for curious elementary age kids. Interesting for parents too.

NOVA - World in the Balance: The Population Paradox
$19.95
Typical of NOVA, this is a film with solid film-making, substance and appeal. It addresses some mature themes such as impoverished African women forced into lives of prostitution and the effects of AIDS in Africa. Its real-life interviews and serious themes require a more mature high school audience, but they will be riveted throughout the film. It clearly addresses human population dynamics, a required topic in upper Biology classes.
