Is demography destiny? Corporate marketers and government agencies
act as if it is, producing mountains of statistics about Americans
-- most always remarkably inaccessible and dry. Now, America by the
Numbers puts the power of demography back in the people's hands,
collecting and clearly explaining a vast amount of population data
in easy-to-read, informative tables and graphs. From the new
immigration to the aging of America, this guide reveals how the ebb
and flow of population shapes every public and private decision we
make.
In an engaging and accessible form, America by the Numbers
ranges across the U.S. landscape as it offers the latest facts
about racial conflict, class division, health, schooling, family
life, crime, and political participation. The most recent in The
New Press's highly successful popular guides to politics and
economics -- including The Ultimate Field Guide to the U.S. Economy
and Social Stratification in the United States -- America by the
Numbers is both a practical reference on U.S. population trends and
a probing examination of the roots of America's most pressing
problems.
