Written by one of the world's leading demographers, this authoritative text offers a systematic and coherent overview of the fundamental ideas governing the study of present and future populations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book covers formal models as well as the underlying logic and context of demographic reasoning. The text also illustrates recent data and new methodological developments. The first section of the book discusses measurements that involve a single individual, such as mortality and fertility; the second section moves from individual behaviors to population-level phenomena; and the third section looks at models involving individuals and social structures within the population, such as marriage and migration rates--topics not addressed in such detail in any other demography text. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Written for advanced undergraduates and experienced researchers, \u003ci\u003eThe Nature of Demography\u003c\/i\u003e contains a wealth of material that will inspire innovative applications in the field. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn up-to-date and authoritative textbook by one of the world's leading demographers \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eCreative use and critique of demography methods \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eComprehensive and innovative coverage of marriage, migration, and economic demography \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplanations that reach beyond mathematical formulas to underlying theories of behavior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hervé Le Bras\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691128238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHervé Le Bras\u003c\/b\u003e is director of studies at the School of Higher Education in the Social Sciences and director of research at the National Institute of Demographic Studies in Paris.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40087140991091,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":71.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_ff2ef019-b790-430a-9118-ce00ed141de1.jpg?v=1652538735","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-nature-of-demography-9780691128238","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
