Textbook/manual outlines the methods used to study population structure and change developed by demographers to investigate the interrelationships between mortality, fertility and age structure. Acidic paper. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
Part I of this book is great. It's a very accessible introduction into the amazing field of demography. Part II is where things get a bit complicated -- it's all the models based on the concepts explained in Part I. The exercises at the end of each chapter do definitely help absorb the information. Overall, great book!
