Overview

This four-volume collection of more than 140 original chapters covers virtually everything of interest to demographers, sociologists and others. More than 100 authors present population subjects in ways that provoke thinking and lead to the creation of new perspectives, not just facts and equations to be memorized.
The articles in Demography: Analysis and Synthesis follow a theory-methods-applications approach and so offer a kind of "one-stop shop" that is well suited for students and professors who need non-technical summaries, such as political scientists, public affairs specialists, and others. Unlike shorter handbooks, Demography provides a long-overdue, thorough treatment of the field.
