Ansley Coale is one of the world's most influential demographers. In this informative, wideranging autobiography, Coale acknowledges the work of Frank Notestein, his mentor and one of the key founders of the Office of Population Research at Princeton, an institution vitally important to Coale's professional career. His activities includes teaching economics at Princeton, studying population and economic development in lowincome countries, research for the European Fertility Project, stabilizing analytical demography, correcting bad data in the United States, creating demographic models for mortality, fertility, marriage, and acting as the United States representative on the United Nations Population Commission, directing the Office of Population Research from 1959 to 1973, then continuing as Senior Research Demographic for the Office up through the end of the 1980s. Ansley J. Coale: An Autobiography is informative reading and highly recommended to students of 20th Century demography, and the role of demographic research in developing national and international governmental policies.
