Demographic Methods and Concepts
As a public health professional, I highly recommend this book by Donald Rowland to provide information about essential methods in demography in a format that is very interesting and easy to read. Dr. Rowland’s name came up again and again during a class that I took on this subject – so many times that I decided that purchasing this book was no longer an option. Because an understanding of demography is critical for those interested in public health (and many of the other social sciences), I highly recommend this book to students, to researchers and to the population in general.
