《人口统计方法和概念》介绍了在国家、区域和地方各级处理人口统计材料最常用的方法。与该领域的其他教科书不同，整个过程中使用了明确的非技术性语言，使人口统计技术能够被广泛的读者所接受，无论他们的数学背景如何。所有与人口学家、地理学家、社会学家和规划者的工作最相关的人口统计技术都包括在内。还讨论了在解释人口统计数据方面重要的人口概念和实际战略。这本书采取了独特的和创新的计算机为基础的方法来可视化的人口概念和数据。随附的完全集成的CD-ROM包含电子表格模块，带有屏幕控件和菜单，可在Microsoft Excel中运行。这些模块可以在没有任何计算知识的情况下使用。通过课本中的练习，学生可以掌握计算机技术，从而提高调查的广度和深度，并提高处理人口统计的乐趣和熟练程度。
Demographic Methods and Concepts presents the methods most commonly needed to work with statistical materials on population at national, regional and local levels. Unlike other textbooks in the field, clear non-technical language is used throughout to make demographic techniques accessible to a broad readership irrespective of background in mathematics. All the demographic techniques most relevant to the work of demographers, geographers, sociologists and planners are covered. Demographic concepts and practical strategies important in the interpretation of population statistics are also discussed. The book takes a unique and innovative computer-based approach to the visualisation of demographic concepts and data. The fully integrated accompanying CD-ROM contains spreadsheet modules, with on-screen controls and menus, run in Microsoft Excel. The modules can be used without any knowledge of computing. Further Spreadsheet Exercises in the text enable the acquisition of computing techniques that enhance the breadth and depth of investigations, as well as enjoyment and proficiency in working with population statistics.
