Riassunto:

A revolutionary text that requires no special advanced training on the instructor's part, and which needs no supplementary manuals to use. The text's "calculus-as-a-foreign-language" approach, using immersion, reading, and writing, promotes mathematical literacy and comprehension. Highly accessible and diverse "conversations" allow the text to be customized for business, science, pre-health, humanities, social science, or mathematics majors, and for classes at any level.

Product Description:

This timely study examines fertility rates and their trends and determinants in less-developed countries by testing an empirical, interdisciplinary model of the fertility transition. In light of the current official position of the United States on population and development, the policy implications of the study are timely. According to some experts, interrupting the spiral of rapid growth and attendant economic and ecological deterioration now rivals nuclear disarmament in importance on the international agenda. Among the questions investigated include: Are there identifiable traits for developing nations that have reduced fertility? Has development become the best contraceptive? Have some development strategies been more conducive to lowering fertility? Do family planning programs have significant impacts on fertility?
