"Population Problems in the United States and Canada" presents a detailed and data-driven exploration of the demographic challenges facing North America in the early 20th century. This collection, which emerged from the 1924 annual meeting of the American Statistical Association, offers a multidisciplinary analysis of population growth, distribution, and the social implications of demographic change. Leading scholars of the era examine diverse topics, including immigration patterns, birth and death rates, and the statistical methodologies used to interpret human data.

The work serves as a significant historical document, illustrating how social scientists and statisticians sought to address the complexities of urban and rural expansion. By focusing on both the United States and Canada, the text provides a unique comparative perspective on the shared and distinct demographic trends of these neighboring nations. It remains a vital resource for those interested in the history of statistics, sociology, and public policy, offering a window into the foundational debates that shaped modern demography.

Travel Survey Methods: Quality and Future Directions
This book is a new chapter in the continuing focus of the International Steering Committee for Travel Survey Conferences (ISCTSC) on maintaining and improving the quality of data collection in transport surveys. The papers extend discourse on broad topic areas that have been addressed by the ISCTSC in previous conferences, provide an update on travel survey initiatives currently under way in many countries, and offer a glimpse into the future in the form of changing contexts, new topics, new technologies, and new standards from around the world, with an emphasis on standards and future research directions.This book is not a conference proceedings, but was derived from papers that were a part of the 7th International Conference on Travel Survey Methods, held at Playa Herradura, Costa Rica, during August 2004. All of the chapters were reviewed by three referees and only those papers that achieved the highest ratings were selected for inclusion in this book. The conference covered both passenger and freight transport, and focused on surveys that collect information directly from individuals or organisations (that is, it excluded traffic counts or other observational data collection). Delegates attended from North, Central, and South America, Europe, Asia, Australasia and Africa, so there was a keen interest in examining applicability of standards and looking at needed future research in regions outside of the North American/Western European context. This content extends discourse on existing topics, provides an update on current travel survey initiatives, and reflects on the future of the discipline. This book is derived from papers that were a part of the 7th International Conference on Travel Survey Methods. Authors come from diverse backgrounds throughout the world.
