Product Review
'The strengths of A Population History of the United States reside in its achievements as a work of synthesis, its quite extensive coverage of fertility and mortality trends, and its clear account of forces influencing migration and population redistribution. It provides a concise yet informative overview of a complex history.' Population Studies
Product Review
"the first one-volume survey of the demographic history of the US. Graphs, maps, tables, bibliography, and index are valuable adjuncts to this succinct and well-designed study." G.J. Martin, emeritus, Southern Connecticut State University, Choice
"Klein has provided a rich framework that raises many questions. Historians in particular will be challenged to connect the themes in population history to the broad outlines of social, cultural, political, and economic history. All readers will learn a great deal from this well-conceived and remarkably succint overview." The Journal of Southern History, Susan E. Klepp, Temple University
"The United States is a vast, diverse, and complex nation that has always been difficult to define and dissect. But Herbert S. Klein has brought order out of chaos in crafting in one volume a readable, understandable, and fascinating demographic history of the American people. It is a grand achievement." Kenneth T. Jackson, Columbia University and President, the New York Historical Society
"Klein paints a sweeping picture of the changing American population from prehistoric times to 2003. In doing so, he teaches his reader important lessons about how the size and structure of population is intertwined with the supply of and demand for labor, something that many historians of population underemphasize. Moreover, he tells his story of U.S. births and deaths, marriages and migration - the key elements of population change - with a cogent connection to the broadest themes of social, economic, and political development. This gives immediacy and context to population, which has always played a central role in our nationas history." Myron P. Gutmann, Director and Professor of History, Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research and Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan
"This succinct but comprehensive survey of U.S. population history deftly and insightfully integrates the wide-ranging scholarship of the last several decades." Robert William Fogel, Charles R. Walgreen Distinguished Service Professor of American Institutions in the Graduate School of Business and Director of the Center for Population Economics, University of Chicago and Winner of the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1993
