Index. This comprehensive introductory text takes an applied, interdisciplinary approach.

The most applied book on the market, this text teaches students how to use the multitude of demographic resources available to them as consumers of data. Using case studies throughout to illustrate key concepts in a realistic and concrete manner, the authors also draw examples from recent U.S. census data, United Nations and World Bank reports, tables from the National Center for Health Statistics, and other U.S. state-and country-level sources.
