Editorial Review

Product Description
In recent years, demography has expanded the reach of problems it confronts, constantly developing the range of methodological tools it employs and illuminating the latest demographic issues. The third edition of Demography features up-to-date information on the study of the causes of changes in size and composition and the effects of these population trends. Like its highly regarded predecessor, this expanded third edition is written in a reader-friendly style, featuring a wealth of newly enhanced graphics, examples, exercises, and data. Its international focus offers updated, substantive discussion of long-term trends and projections, along with newly emerging topics of interest to demographers. End-of-chapter exercises and propositions for debate bring demography alive for readers and emphasize demography's relevance and importance in the twenty-first century. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
Like the original two-volume work, this work attempts to present a systematic and comprehensive exposition, with illustrations, of the methods used by technicians and research workers in dealing with demographic data. The book is concerned with how data on population are gathered, classified, and treated to produce tabulations and various summarizing measures that reveal the significant aspects of the composition and dynamics of populations. It sets forth the sources, limitations, underlying definitions, and bases of classification, as well as the techniques and methods that have been developed for summarizing and analyzing the data. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Review of M&M2
Truly a classic. You need to have this book if you call yourself a demographer.

5-0 out of 5 stars Go buy a copy
This new edition of a standard reference is most welcome and long overdue.Generally sound and providing the high quality expected, with several new topics covered very well. Special mention should be made of the very useful additional material on health issues. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the chapter on race and ethnicity which is already well out of date, focuses on US material on race and provides very little by way of useful or factual information on ethnicity. The information about international practices seriously thin and is badly flawed, despite some valuable comments which seem to have sneaked in.Why on earth for such a central reference work did the editorial board not find an ethnicist to co-author this chapter at the very least - this chapter is a sad and jumbled disappointment with little understanding of the topic and it misses entirely key issues and concepts such as ethnic mobility and the role of paternity effects. A quick look through the reference list for the chapter reveals the source of this lack of depth and lack of discussion of key issues - the primary research is nowhere to be seen and it depends far too heavily and uncritically on official US census publications.The appendix on GIS is welcome but is already also starting to date, as would be expected for such a fast moving area. Despite these short-comings, still a most welcome book and tremendous value for the price.Well bound and well printed, and the editors need to be complimented on a very high quality publication.

1-0 out of 5 stars Way too hard for the third grade!
My teacher used this book in third grade science.It was way too hard!This book might be good for grown-up people in college, but please... it's too hard for the third grade.

5-0 out of 5 stars A new version of the "Bible" of Demography
I remember the early days where I used to go through the old book "The Methods and Materials of Demography" while studying at the Cairo Demographic Center in the early 90s of last century. The new version is an innovative and invaluable addition to the fundamental books in the field. I highly recommend this book for all demographers worldwide.

5-0 out of 5 stars REVIEW OF THE 2ND EDITION
Another review displayed here refers to the 1st edition, which was published in 1976. This review covers the 2nd edition, which was published in March 2004. The 2nd Edition by J. Siegel and D. A. Swanson is hardbound and has around 850 pages. The price ($89.00) is unbelievably low for such a comprehensive and well-written book. It is filled with references and examples andprovides updates on data sources while covering the many advances in methods and technology that have occurred since the publication of the first edition. This book can be used both in the classroom and by practitioners. Besides covering and updating everything that was in the 1st edition, it adds new chapters, appendices, and a cross-referenced comprehensive glossary. The 2nd edition by Siegel and Swanson is a worthy successor to the 1st edition by H. Shryock, J. Siegel, and E. Stockwell and is a mandatory book for anybody interested in demography. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Good cliometric foundation for further study
Cliometrics reigned in university history departments in the 1960s, including detailed comparative analyses of population statistics compiled by governments. The peerage of Great Britain is an obvious target for such a study because it's well defined (by law) and extends without interruption over more than three centuries. The actual subjects here areall peers who died between 1603 and 1938 and their legitimate children - more than 26,000 individuals, plus their spouses and children. Comparisons can then be made with the general British population and with the upper classes of countries on the Continent. The monograph divides rather neatly into three sections, on marriage (social class of partner, nuptial age, divorce and remarriage), fertility (family size and replacement rates, stillbirths and childlessness), and mortality. A series of appendices discuss the quality of the printed records used and of the data itself, marriage of peers' daughters to commoners, and a number of purely statistical considerations. While the bulk of this slim volume consists of tables, charts, and mathematics, the conclusions presented are useful in pointing out the areas in which the peerage outpaced society at large, such as life expectancy, and those in which it compares closely to Britons generally -- which is the case in more areas than one might expect. ...
