Structure of an African Pastoralist Community
Demography, History, and Ecology of the Ngamiland Herero
«'They have produced what is almost certainly the most innovative and original volume yet to appear. This is a very good book ... a significant methodological contribution to demography and to our interpretation of African population structures. It is not overpriced, as prices go these days, and well worth buying.' George T. Nurse, Annals of Human Biology, 1994, vol. 21, No. 6»

«This book ... is one that demographers should take seriously. This work provides an exemplary model of how small data sets can be used to construct life tables, and how population pyramids can reveal traces of the effects of history ... there are major methodological and conceptual lessons to be learned from this book, by demographers and anthropologists alike they propose some intriguing reversals of the conventional chains of causality, thereby stimulating us to think radically about classic problems, such as senescence and birth-spacing.»
