Demography

The Study of Human Population, Fourth Edition

By: Jennifer Hickes Lundquist,Douglas L. Anderton,David Yaukey

The population processes in which we all participate are compared, contrasted, and synthesized into understandable trends in the latest edition of this widely acclaimed text. The authors’ cogent analysis encompasses demographic milestones like surpassing the seven billion population mark and becoming a majority urban population for the first time in human history, as well as the repercussions of a global financial crisis and the implications of two important ongoing trends: aging and fertility decline. New data, examples, and discussions of emerging demographic issues are incorporated throughout the value-priced Fourth Edition, along with graphics that highlight trends and facilitate comparisons among world regions. This pedagogically rich volume also includes propositions for debate and end-of-chapter exercises that allow readers to become comfortable with the quantitative tools that demographers use to measure and describe populations. Moreover, users will learn about some of the people behind the research that informs this text in a new feature called Careers in Demography.

Fertility Differences in a Modernizing Country

By: David Yaukey

Lebanon, with large Christian communities, is a relatively modern country compared with others in the Moslem fertile crescent, and an interesting microcosm for studying fertility changes in this area. David Yaukey's book, based on interviews with over 900 Lebanese women, describes the pattern of large fertility changes according to rural and urban residence, education, and religion. Appendices include methodological problems encountered and attempts to solve them. Originally published in 1961. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Cybercrime

The Transformation of Crime in the Information Age

By: David Wall

Looking at the full range of cybercrime, and computer security he shows how the increase in personal computing power available within a globalized communications network has affected the nature of and response to criminal activities. We have now entered the world of low impact, multiple victim crimes in which bank robbers, for example, no longer have to meticulously plan the theft of millions of dollars. New technological capabilities at their disposal now mean that one person can effectively commit millions of robberies of one dollar each. Against this background, David Wall scrutinizes the regulatory challenges that cybercrime poses for the criminal (and civil) justice processes, at both the national and the international levels.

Lebanon

The Fragmented Nation

By: David C. Gordon

Even up to the eve of the civil war, some observers saw the Lebanese system as essentially stable, and exhibiting some of the virtues of liberty and pluralism which had been commended by the French traveller de Volney a century before. But for others its structure was so seriously flawed as to be resolved only by revolution. The civil war resulted ultimately from a conglomeration of interdependent factors – the religious conflict of Christian and Shi’a Muslim, the social divisions exemplified in the ‘Belt of Misery’ around Beirut, and the ethnic frictions between the Arab host culture and the Occidentalised Maronites. This book, first published in 1980, is a lively and incisive study of one of the most ravaged countries of this generation.

The Washington State Census Board and Its Demographic Legacy

By: David A. Swanson

This book tells the story of how a group of far-sighted, academic researchers came to the aid of an overwhelmed local government. It details the history of the Washington State Census Board, which began in 1943 as part of an emergency measure during a massive wartime in-migration. The narrative also shows the demographic legacy of the Board and, ultimately, provides an unforgettable look into the creation and evolution of applied demography. Inside, readers will discover how Washington State struggled to keep up with the unexpected needs for housing, transportation, schools, and public utilities for the hundreds of thousands of migrants who came to work in industries that practically developed overnight with the mobilization for World War II. The author recounts how Professor Calvin F. Schmid, who led the Washington State Census Board, and his team developed methods of population estimation that are still in use today. In the process, the narrative reveals how population figures were gathered, compared, and projected at a time when the hand calculator was considered cutting-edge technology. The book also details how methods were refined and improved over time as well as how those involved developed new ways to obtain and, more importantly, utilize the information. With the aid of archived materials, personal interviews, and rich personal accounts, this book will inform and inspir e practicing and academic demographers as well as planners, policy-makers, historians, and interested readers.

Rural Retirement Migration

By: David L. Brown,Nina Glasgow

This fascinating book examines rural retirement migration from the older in-migrants’ perspective and from the vantage point of the destination communities to which they move. This integrated approach permits the authors to view older in-migrants as embedded in environments that facilitate and/or constrain their opportunities for productive living during older age. It also permits the examination of positive and negative effects of older in-migration for destination communities.

State and Local Population Projections

Methodology and Analysis

By: Stanley K. Smith,Jeff Tayman,David A. Swanson

The initial plans for this book sprang from a late-afternoon conversation in a hotel bar. All three authors were attending the 1996 meeting of the Population As- ciation of America in New Orleans. While nursing drinks and expounding on a variety of topics, we began talking about our current research projects. It so happened that all three of us had been entertaining the notion of writing a book on state and local population projections. Recognizing the enormity of the project for a single author, we quickly decided to collaborate. Had we not decided to work together, it is unlikely that this book ever would have been written. The last comprehensive treatment of state and local population projections was Don Pittenger’s excellent work Projecting State and Local Populations (1976). Many changes affecting the production of population projections have occurred since that time. Technological changes have led to vast increases in computing power, new data sources, the development of GIS, and the creation of the Internet. The procedures for applying a number of projection methods have changed considerably, and several completely new methods have been developed.

Christ’s Return and Today's Global Geopolitical Bombshells

Understanding What Might Take Place After This

By: Dr. David Liang

Christ’s Return and Today's Global Geopolitical Bombshells

Understanding What Might Take Place After This

By: Dr. David Liang

Many people are eager to embrace Nostradamus and the Mayans while dismissing the Holy Bible’s prophecies. Yet the Bible (in Revelation chapter 4) promises: “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” Inspired by that promise, this principal author has gleaned decades of insight regarding global geopolitical events and what might take place toward the end of this world as we know it. In 1989 he predicted in a Chinese magazine, the possibility of German unification as an expression of the mixed iron-and-clay kingdom foreseen in Daniel chapter 2. The same prophecy suggests the intermingling of China with Taiwan, and North and South Korea. Back in 1989, this principal author also predicted that the U.S. would withdraw from Europe because the Bible speaks little of the U.S.’s role during Earth’s final hour. Chapter 1 of this book deals with doomsday (end of the world) bombshells with reference to notable scientists such as Stephen Hawking, Martin Rees, Frank Fenne, and Isaac Newton. Chapters 2 and 3 address the startling role reversal between the U.S., a former superpower now in retreat from the global scene, and a resurgent Russia — and the incredible role played by Vladimir Putin in both Russia and the U.S. Chapter 4 deals with the miraculous rebirth of Israel and the path toward a rebuilt Third Temple. Chapter 5 deals with Middle East bombshells, particularly the rise of radical Islamic-based entities and the Bible’s portrait of Babylon. Chapter 6 applies the aforementioned iron-and-clay-mixture analogy to the possible unification of China with Taiwan, and North and South Korea — including bombshell overtures between U.S. President Trump and North Korean leader Kim. Chapter 7 deals with China‘s ascent and applies a prophecy in Isaiah chapter 49 to the increasing number of Chinese Christians despite communism. Chapter 8 situates Brexit (‘Britain exiting the European Union,’ which this principal author foresaw) within the Biblical context of a future ten-kings coalition and the emergence of the antichrist. Finally, chapter 9 deals with Christ’s own statements of what geopolitical bombshells must take place leading up to his return to Earth. The Bible’s accuracy in predicting geopolitical events gives us reason to believe in its supernatural authority, and thus to believe its ultimate promise — that Jesus Christ will return to this world.

Searching for Heaven on Earth

How to Find What Really Matters in Life

By: Dr. David Jeremiah

Don't you deserve a little happiness? They are the questions that plague us: Is happiness within my reach? Why is life so frustrating? Is it too late for me? Or to put another way, "Where can I find a little heaven on earth?" History's most successful man, Solomon, wondered just that. As Dr. David Jeremiah shows us, he was a man who tested life's haunting questions head-on. And tasted life's riches full-on. And who found his answers in the last place he thought to look. Listen, then, to his voice. A voice that, if you pay attention, will speak directly to your flesh and bones and heart. A voice that admits: Maybe happiness is an empty hope. Or maybe we've simply been looking in all the wrong places. . .

Culture at the Crossroads

Is Western civilization in an accelerating decline? And if it continues will it eventually weaken and cause us to come to the end of cultured civilization as we now know it? "Yes," says David Jeremiah, and in his book, I Never Thought I'd See the Day! he details numerous signs of this cultural decay including: America held hostage by Iran Marriage becoming obsolete Creeping socialism The invisibility of culture's enemies Increase in "spiritual warfare" America turning its back on Israel Atheist attack on religion Can this downward spiral be reversed? Yes, but only if one person at a time returns to God with our heart, our manner of life, our dedication to genuine worship of God, in serving God by helping others, in our giving, and in prayer.
