Opis

This volume takes stock of the current status of the comparatively new discipline of "Anthropological Demography," and discusses its major methods, its main strengths, and its chief limitations. It includes contributions from both mainstream demographers and foremost anthropologists, all stressing the necessity of a shared agenda for each discipline to progress successfully and avoid marginalization.

Recenzje

The huge expectations for the rest of the book made in the well-written introduction, are followed up by interesting and well-edited contributions .
