简介:This textbook introduces the field of population demography and explains the three basic demographic processes--mortality, fertility, and migration. It further explores the relationship between population processes and societal change, and their connections to factors like age, sex, family, ethnicity, education, and religion. Current transitions are described, including the epidemiological transition, the fertility transition, the migration and urban transitions, the age transition, and the transition in family structure. Weeks teaches at San Diego University. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
