| dc.description | In many areas of applied demography one of the most difficult tasks, in either gaining mastery of the content of an area or of teaching courses in the area is finding a set of materials that adequately covers the field without having to access an inordinate number of partial sources, none of which alone provides a sufficient overview for mastering the area. This has clearly been the case in the area of small area population estimation where, although there are useful overviews of some components of the processes and principals involved (see for example, Siegel and Swanson 2004), the need to examine both the academic and the pragmatic aspects of the methods and principles for completing, evaluating and knowledgeably using a set of estimates, have simply not been available in a single source. For the first time a book which is both a comprehensive and rigorous scholarly work as well as a user oriented and pragmatic methodological source has become available with the publication of this text by Swanson and Tayman. In fact, I believe that it will become for those who do small area population estimates what Shryock and Siegel and Siegel and Swanson have provided for basic demographic methods– the source for learning how to approach, complete and evaluate small area popula- tion estimates in a variety of settings and considering a wide range of theoretical and pragmatic factors. | - |
