From Persons to People by William Petersen (9780765801708)

Description - From Persons to People by William Petersen

We as American, typically lacking numerate sophistication, are often intimidated, as well as impressed by the numbers that various publications and institutions constantly feed us. Those who read a book on population are typically faced with page after page of tables and other clusters of numbers and many feel that they are entering a land that has remained foreign to them. In all versions of data assembling - whether the census, vital statistics, or surveys - information is gathered from individuals and then presented to the public concerning categories. From Persons to People offers not a collection of statistics (which might serve as a popular definition of "demography") but a collection of ideas.
