Although I feel honored to write a foreword for this important
book, it is a task that I approach with some trepidation. The
topics covered in the book summarize the current state of the art
in technical demography. However, my knowledge and expertise with
respect to technical demography are limited to the most fundamental
and intermediate-level methods; hence, critical commentary on the
contents of this volume is beyond my scope in this fore word. Since
I have some understanding of the logic and substantive aspects of
the methods rather than the complicated mathematics used in
describing them, my comments will necessarily be restricted to the
book's general or ganization and content. To date, most texts
published on technical demography have been limited to traditional
demographic methods: sources and limitations of data, life table
construction and applications, standardization techniques, various
methods for preparing population estimates and forecasts, etc.
However, population specialists have in recent years been
developing and successfully applying a variety of sophisticated
techniques not covered in the more standard intro ductory texts. In
addition, many traditional methods that are unique to the
demographic discipline have been improved and extended."
