Populations are constantly changing and evolving, and each successive edition of
this book has aimed to keep up with demographic trends and the explanations
for them. Thus, every chapter of this current edition has been revised for recency,
relevancy, reliability, and readability. At the same time, the teaching and learning
environment has changed substantially over the years, and in this edition, I have
responded to calls from users of the book to reorganize material and reduce the
number of chapters so that everything of vital importance can be readily covered in
one academic term. This edition has only 10 chapters, rather than the 12 chapters in
the previous edition, but all of the really good stuff is still in here.
