While the advantage in population growth rates has shifted from metropolitan to nonmetropolitan areas during the 1970's, the nonmetropolitan population itself has undergone a marked population deconcentration. Data from the U.S. Bureau of the Census' 1975 Revenue Sharing Estimates of incorporated places show that the population of nonmetropolitan towns grew only 3.3 percent from 1970 to 1975 - less than the average population growth for the nation. The nonmetropolitan population outside of incorporated places of 2,500 and over grew by 9.0 percent--almost twice the national average. Not only is the population outside of incorporated places growing faster than the population inside incorporated places in both metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas of each region, but there is also an inverse relationship between the size of incorporated places and population growth. Perhaps the concentration of population around transportation nodes in both large and small towns which was necessary when transportation and communication systems were less extensive and less technologically advanced is no longer needed.

"Doctor Samantha Turner serves as the medical examiner for the city of Sheridan, Wyoming, and it seems that she's getting a bit too much work lately. After all, the M.E.'s job isn't full time and Sam does have other things to do. Unfortunately, one of them is dealing with Derek Turner, her late husband's son, a man who claims to be a foreign correspondent and who makes it clear that Sam is "my father's second wife, not my stepmother."" "Someone in Washington wants information about Sam's latest corpse, a woman who had been part of the Witness Protection Program, and they figure Derek can get what's needed from Sam without any trouble. Which just goes to show you that it doesn't pay to underestimate her." "After all, even though the police refuse to see a pattern in the murders that are occurring on the holidays, Sam knows better. She even knows which one is a copycat killing. The only one who will listen is Derek, and he has his own agenda. That leaves the doctor with one move - and if things don't play out just right, that move is a sacrifice."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The report presents findings from the 2018 revision of World Urbanization Prospects, which contains the latest estimates of the urban and rural populations or areas from 1950 to 2018 and projections to 2050, as well as estimates of population size from 1950 to 2018 and projections to 2030 for all urban agglomerations with 300,000 inhabitants or more in 2018. The world urban population is at an all-time high, and the share of urban dwellers, is projected to represent two thirds of the global population in 2050. Continued urbanization will bring new opportunities and challenges for sustainable development.
