Description:
This exciting new book presents the field of social demography, animating the study of population with a vibrant sociological imagination. Gregg Lee Carter provides multiple demonstrations of how taking a demographic perspective can give us a better understanding of social phenomena once thought to be largely the products of culture, politics, or the economy. Five key chapters concentrate on (1) the social and individual determinants of fertility, mortality, and migration; (2) the social and individual impacts of changing levels of fertility, mortality, and migration; and (3) the impacts of overpopulation on the environment, and how changes in the environment, in turn, impact the human condition, especially regarding migration. What gives these analyses coherence is how each emphasizes the ways in which demographic forces both reflect and limit individual choices. Written in a straightforward and engaging style, and without getting bogged down in academic debates, this concise book is the ideal introduction and primer for courses in social demography and population and society.

Good purchase
Style: 3 Pound, Pair
These are just the right weight for me to start gaining muscle back in my arms, after a large weight loss. They are of good quality, they are covered in a nice rubber like coating that is soft to the touch. They are small enough that i can take them with me when I travel. My dog has got hold of them a couple times and played with them, and they held up just fine without any damage.

Solid, grippy, and they don’t roll away!
Style: 10 Pound, Pair
I bought these because I’m finally trying to build a consistent home workout routine and didn't want to drop a fortune on name-brand weights. I’ve been using this 10lb pair for about a month now for everything from overhead presses to lunges, and honestly, they’re exactly what I was looking for.
The Pros:
• That Neoprene Grip: The coating is fantastic. Even when my hands get pretty sweaty halfway through a workout, I don’t feel like I’m going to drop them. It’s a much "softer" feel than cold metal or hard plastic.
• The Hex Shape: This is a small detail that makes a huge difference. Since the ends are hexagonal, they don't roll across the floor when I set them down between sets. They also stay put if I’m using them for "renegade rows" or floor work.
• Compact Size: They aren’t bulky. I can easily shove them under my bed or in the corner of the closet when I’m done.
• No Weird Odor: I was worried they might smell like a tire factory (which happens with some rubber-coated weights), but these had almost no scent right out of the box.
The Cons:
• Handle Diameter: The handles are a little on the thicker side. I have medium-sized hands and it’s fine, but if you have very small hands, they might feel a bit chunky to wrap your fingers all the way around.
• Color Scuffs: The navy blue looks great, but if you clank them together or drop them on concrete, the coating can scuff or show dust pretty easily.
The Verdict:
If you just need a reliable set of weights for HIIT, Pilates, or general strength training, these are a no-brainer. You're basically getting gym-quality equipment for a fraction of the price. I’ll probably be back for the 15lb set in a few months!

Great Water Bottle!
Color: Off Road, Size: 30 Ounces
I was looking for an insulated water bottle that would actually fit in a standard cup holder. I decided to try the Owala FreeSip Sway Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle. Upon receiving it, I noticed that it felt solid in my hand. The mechanism worked very smoothly with a simple button press opening the lid. Once open, you can choose to either use the included straw or tip the bottle and drink from the chug spout. In addition to it fitting in my cup holder, I needed it to be leak proof. This bottle is leak proof, and the spout can be locked by engaging a lock in the back. The rugged flip handle is also a convenient way to carry the Owala when it's not in the water bottle holder on my backpack.
I hand wash the body of the bottle, but the top disassembles easily and can go right in the dishwasher when I want a deep cleaning. The bottle has a wide opening, so it is very easy to clean the inside.
This has quickly become my favorite water bottle due to its ease of cleaning, good insulation, ability to fit in my cup holder, solid construction and materials, and the option of using the straw or chug spout. I have the 30 ounce bottle, but I am going to be picking up a 40 ouncer also. You won't regret purchasing one!
I have used the bottle for a couple of weeks now, and here are my observations: It has gone on two camping trips, and it has proven to be durable. I have placed the Owala on its side on my passenger seat (just to test it...it fits perfectly in my car's cup holder!). It did not leak a single drop on a long road trip. On my camping trip, the water in the bottle was still ice cold the next morning, so it keeps cold beverages very cold!

The Perfect Bottle
Color: Dreamy Field, Size: 40 Ounces
I do not leave reviews, but I had to for this. This is the PERFECT water bottle. It has a handle, it's leak-proof, with a lock, so you don't have to worry when your baby decides to play with the bottle and tips it over -- there won't be a spill! Straw and sip option are perfect and I love that the straw is inside the cup so I don't have to worry about my kids hurting themselves when they drink from the cup. 40 oz is a great size, holds a lot of water but tapered bottom perfectly fits in the cup holder. So easy to use, my 4 year old has no issues. Cleaning takes 3 minutes. I recommend to absolutely everyone.
