Reviews “A remarkable contribution to development studies as well as the fields of demography and political economy. The carefully selected and meticulously edited book chapters enhance our understanding of the largely under-studied linkages between economic growth and demographic transition in the Third World countries. The book chapters highlight the importance of migration, education, employment, gender, and environmental dynamics in shaping this complex and chaotic relationship between economic growth and demographic transition in the developing Third World countries. One of the key contributions of this volume lies in its original use of the chaos and complexity theories in making sense of this multifaceted set of relationships.” —Dr. Oktay F.

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press.
