Demography

The Science of Population

von Vijayan K Pillai, Jay Weinstein

Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This comprehensive, introductory text takes an applied, interdisciplinary approach. Because one author is a sociologist and the other a demographer, the text introduces perspectives from many different disciplines. Demography: The Science of Population, Second Edition, includes two chapters focusing on quantitative models, a topic not usually covered so extensively in introductory texts. It uses case studies throughout to illustrate in a realistic and concrete manner key points made in the text. It draws examples from recent U.S. Census data, United Nations and World Bank reports, tables from the National Center for Health Statistics, and from U.S. state and county-level sources.
