This book is mainly concerned with the theory of populations that are subject to random temporal changes in their vital rates, although some other kinds of variation (e.g. cyclical) are also dealt with. The central questions are: how does temporal variation work its way into a population's future, and how does it affect our interpretation of a population's past. The results are directed at demographers of humans and at population biologists. Subjects discussed include population projection, sensitivity analysis of growth rates, and life-histories in random environments. The book is in essence a progress report and is deliberately brief.
