This book revisits these methods and then illustrates how they may be used to analyze spatial data and study spatial population dynamics.Topics covered include spatial population dynamics, population projections and estimations, spatial and age structure of migration flows and much more.

This book tells the eighty-year story of the authors life in America and abroad. He attended local schools in Berkeley and, upon graduation from Berkeley High School in 1955, enrolled at the University of California, graduating with a degree in architecture in 1960. He then obtained a PhD in city and regional planning at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and returned to Berkeley in 1964 to join the faculty of its department of that name. After an academic career of some fifty years in departments of planning, engineering, and geography, he retired from teaching in 2008 at the University of Colorado in Boulder, and became a senior research scholar in the Population Program, which he directed for twenty years at the universitys Institute of Behavioral Science.

This unique book introduces an essential element in applied demographic analysis: a tool-kit for describing, smoothing, repairing and, in instances of totally missing data, inferring directional migration flows.
