This is a textbook that is easy to read and covers alot of theory, but nothing complicated. This is a book on demographic theory, not demographic methods, they are often studied separately. (A good book methods is Preston's Demography: Measuring and Modeling Population Processes) It explains the major formulas in an easy way, but you really need a methods book to learn all the practical techniques. The purpose of this book is to explain the major demographic variables: mortality, fertility, and migration. It tends to use a historical perspective and uses examples from all over the world. I thought the book was easy to read and very informative, and it explained the formulas in a non-technical way which helped me understand the methodology better.
Yeah its a text, but its good...

Weeks is a genius. He came into my population life course class and spoke about anything we wanted to know, and was happy to be there. Which is weird, coming from the academic world.
Population by Weeks Review
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This is a great introduction to demographics. It provides a easy to read introduction. It is still a college textbook. The author integrates humor into the text, which certainly kept me reading. Infotrac was completely worthless. It was a password to a three-month trial of access to databases. I already have access to databases through other sources, school and the library.
