This accessible and innovative book is also ideal for the classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJames Carey and Deborah Roach cover everything from baseline demographic concepts to biodemographic applications, and present models and equations in discrete rather than continuous form to enhance mathematical accessibility. They use a wealth of real-world examples that draw from data sets on both human and nonhuman species. The book offers an interdisciplinary approach to demography like no other, with topics ranging from kinship theory and family demography to reliability engineering, tort law, and demographic disasters such as the Titanic and the destruction of Napoleon's Grande Armée.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book provides the first synthesis of demography and biology, covering baseline demographic models and concepts such as Lexis diagrams, mortality, fecundity, and population theory. It features in-depth discussions of biodemographic applications like harvesting theory and mark-recapture, drawing from data sets on species ranging from fruit flies and plants to elephants and humans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsing a uniquely interdisciplinary approach to demography, the book brings together a diverse range of concepts, models, and applications.
