This book is a ready reference and a free-standing text for those who want to understand the measures without plowing through detailed and lengthy explanations of sources of data, international comparisons and, in general, the nuances of the subject matter. It is aimed at the beginner and at the professional who would like a ready reference to these measures and presumes no knowledge of mathematics beyond basic arithmetic and no prior knowledge of demography.
John Saunders is Professor of Sociology at Mississippi State University.
