Описание: With findings that challenge conventional wisdom, Fertility Change on the American Frontier will interest demographers, sociologists, and historians. Examining the marriage and childbearing behavior of one predominantly L.D.S. (Mormon) population, the book calls into question traditional concepts and methods used to study high fertility populations. Mormons were responsible for the settlement, colonization, and development of one of America's last western frontiers. Availability of detailed information on marriage and childbearing, in a large file of approximately 185,000 family records, makes it possible to study the processes of the decline in fertility more extensively than has ever been done before in a major historical demographic study. The authors examine family formation among cohorts of women born between 1800 and 1899 and contrast two competing explanations of fertility change among Western societies: an adaptation argument versus an innovation argument. They demonstrate that the process of increasing fertility limitation beginning in the later part of the nineteenth century involves more than simply stopping childbearing after a given family size has been achieved. It reflects the adoption of a pattern of child spacing indicating a commitment to family limitation early in the marriage cycle. Clearly we must reexamine earlier studies which assumed that high-fertility populations were not interested in or aware of the possibilities of fertility control. Fertility control can no longer be treated as an innovation of Western industrial societies or as an innovation introduced through national family planning programs. We see that among the Utah frontier population marriage and childbearing represented a rational adaptation to a set of rapidly changing social and economic conditions. Without adequate technologies for family limitation, this population was nevertheless successful in reducing family size quickly and dramatically, once the presumed opportunities of the frontier disappeared. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1990.

Описание: In contrast to the female-centric study of fertility, this volume focuses on the role of males and challenges whether fertility variation can be understood without exploring the roles of both sexes. Male and female fertility differentials are presented in rates and determinants in various social contexts.

Transportation modelers and analysts face new opportunities and challenges in the study of mobility patterns and transportation systems, thanks to the advent of paradigm-shifting big data. Mobility Patterns, Big Data and Transport Analytics: Tools and Applications provides a guide to this new analytical framework related to big data, focusing on capturing, predicting, visualizing and controlling mobility patterns - a key aspect of transportation modeling.
Transportation systems analysis relies upon assumptions related to social, collective, personal, or disaggregate organization of desires expressed by the mobility of people or goods. Recent advances in information technology - such as available data from open sources, participation in media platforms, and sensor technologies - have created an environment of great change, and the potential for transportation structural reorganization. Mobility Patterns, Big Data and Transport Analytics: Tools and Applications features prominent international expert overview on these new analytical frameworks, applications, and concepts in mobility analysis and transportation systems.
The book covers in detail, mobility 'structural' analysis (and its dynamics), the extensive behavioral characteristics of transport, observability requirements and limitations for realistic transportation applications, and transportation systems analysis related to complex processes and phenomena. The book bridges the gap between big data, data science, and Transportation Systems Analysis with a study of big data's impact on mobility, and an introduction to the tools necessary to apply new techniques.
Guides readers through the paradigm-shifting opportunities and challenges of handling Big Data in transportation modeling and analytics
Covers current analytical innovations focused on capturing, predicting, visualizing, and controlling mobility patterns, while discussing future trends
Delivers an introduction to transportation-related information advances, providing a benchmark reference by world-leading experts in the field
Captures and manages mobility patterns, covering multiple purposes and alternative transport modes, in a multi-disciplinary approach
Companion website features videos showing the analyses performed, as well as test codes and data-sets, allowing readers to recreate the presented analyses and apply the highlighted techniques to their own data

Описание: Government sponsored breeding programs, medals of motherhood, forced abortions, and surgical sterilization on park benches--all of these policies have come out of government efforts to nationalize sex and harness procreation as a tool of the state. Over 170 countries (or 85% of governments) worldwide have active policies designed to manipulate the fertility of their citizenry with the aim of influencing the rate of growth of their populations. While over 90% of least developed states are trying to combat population growth with policies designed to reduce fertility, over two-thirds of all developed countries are actively crafting legislation to increase their populations. Despite over a hundred years of relative failure and innumerable studies questioning the viability and utility of government attempts to manipulate the fertility rate of the population as a whole, the majority of governments worldwide continue to uphold and develop such policies. What drives government to try to control how many children people will have? Nationalizing Sex traces why population emerged as an object of governance and how natalist policy has changed over time and place, using case studies from France, Germany, Russia, India, and China. It analyzes the origins, growth, and development of fertility as a national and international political issue, the rise and fall of the narratives used to ascribe meaning to natality, and the global proliferation of oddly similar policies adopted by widely dissimilar states. As importantly, it explains why, after hundreds of years, countries continue to pursue natalist policy even though it has been such a widespread failure.
