From the reviews: "Book covers some of the outputs arising from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funded Understanding Population Trends and Processes (UPTAP) programme. ... of interest to human geographers, sociologists, demographers, and those in some branches of political science. ... The book deals with topics that are important to people, such as the social direction in which their areas are moving, political attitudes, and health. ... it would probably be of interest to a wide readership, encompassing academics, students, and interested members of the public." (Ian Shuttleworth, Population Studies, Vol. 67 (3), 2013)
