Review Quotes
"...well-referenced and carefully navigated. {Whitney} explores big demographic issues and their intersections with other global forces in an even-handed, restrained, and thoughtful way...the book is well-researched and scientifically sound...What I liked about it most, however, was the constructive, rationally optimistic tone throughout the whole book."
