A comprehensive, introductory text that emphasizes the major techniques, methods, and data sources of contemporary population studies.
Written by a sociologist and a demographer, the book's principal aim is to improve the students' skills primarily as consumers and secondarily as producers of demographic information. One reviewer says, “The author has a pleasant style. It is the voice of knowledge combined with a gentle voice of teaching.” He goes on to say of the book, “It is really unique and refreshingly original. It is comprehensive and comprehensible.” —Ron Hammond, University of Utah.
