Routledge Library Editions: Demography Micro-Approaches to Demographic Research, (Hardcover)

Originally published in 1988, this collection of essays was the first attempt by population scientists to incorporate some of the methods and materials of anthropologists into their work. The essays bridge the gap in the conceptualisation and organisation of field research by 2 sets of social scientists - demographers and social anthropologists - who share an interest in the explanation of particular patterns of population composition and change.
