Dudley L. Poston Jr. Editor

Handbook of Population Second Edition

Handbooks of Sociology and Social Research Series editor John DeLamater Dept. Sociology, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI, USA

Each of these Handbooks survey the field in a critical manner, evaluating theoretical models in light of the best available empirical evidence. Distinctively sociological approaches are highlighted by means of explicit comparison to perspectives characterizing related disciplines such as psychology, psychiatry, and anthropology. These seminal works seek to record where the field has been, to identify its current location and to plot its course for the future.
