This book tells the story of how a group of far-sighted, academic researchers came to the aid of an overwhelmed local government. It details the history of the Washington State Census Board, which began in 1943 as part of an emergency measure during a massive wartime in-migration. The narrative also shows the demographic legacy of the Board and, ultimately, provides an unforgettable look into the creation and evolution of applied demography. Inside, readers will discover how Washington State struggled to keep up with the unexpected needs for housing, transportation, schools, and public utilities for the hundreds of thousands of migrants who came to work in industries that practically developed overnight with the mobilization for World War II. The author recounts how Professor Calvin F. Schmid, who led the Washington State Census Board, and his team developed methods of population estimation that are still in use today. In the process, the narrative reveals how population figures were gathered, compared, and projected at a time when the hand calculator was considered cutting-edge technology. The book also details how methods were refined and improved over time as well as how those involved developed new ways to obtain and, more importantly, utilize the information. With the aid of archived materials, personal interviews, and rich personal accounts, this book will inform and inspir e practicing and academic demographers as well as planners, policy-makers, historians, and interested readers.

DofL is a core concept in sociology, is usually operationalized in one of two dimensions for the generation of testable hypotheses. The analytic value of the decomposition of DofL into these two dimensions is not without cost for, by focusing on DofL 2, the interrelatedness of the two is ignored, the comparability of data gathered under the same system of occupational classification is restricted by the occasional presence of zero-member categories. This restriction should be evaluated in terms of the C-measure which, by using C.E. Shannon & W. Weaver's conception of information (The Mathematical Theory of Communication, Urbana: U of Illinois Press, 1963), measures the relative cost of information loss incurred when DofL 2 is measured for two sets of data drawn from the same classification scheme, one of which contains zero-member categories. The C-measure is judged to be of potential use for two areas important to the further specification of DofL, ie, replication & cross-cultural research. The C-measure serves as a way to reconcile DofL 1 & DofL 2 so that both dimensions are taken into account in the measurement of DofL.

"Before white churches can pursue diversity, we must first address the faulty discipleship that has led to our segregation in the first place. Pastor David Swanson proposes that we rethink our churches' habits, or liturgies, and imagine together holistic, communal discipleship practices that can reform us as members of Christ's diverse body"--
