AB  - "The papers in this collection? most of them previously published? are the fruits of an intellectual odyssey over the last decades of my career as a sociologist/demographer. Beginning in the late 1980s, longstanding questions about the status of demography as a science came to the surface, and I began to pursue them actively. Looking back, I realize that at some point I became less a demographer and more a demography critic? cf. art critic or music critic? and an amateur philosopher of science. My central concern has been with the role and status of theory in demography"--Preface.
