This highly original book -- the first in a series analyzing historical population behavior in Europe and Asia -- pioneers a new approach to the comparative analysis of societies in the past. Using techniques of event history analysis, the authors examine 100,000 life histories in 100 rural communities in Western Europe and Asia to analyze the demographic response to social and economic pressures. In doing so they challenge the accepted Eurocentric Malthusian view of population processes and demonstrate that population behavior has not been as uniform as previously thought -- that it has often been determined by human agency, particularly social structure and cultural practice.
The authors examine the complex relationship between human behavior and social and economic environment, analyzing age, gender, family, kinship, social class and social organization, climate, food prices, and real wages to compare mortality responses to adversity. Their research at the individual, household, and community levels challenges the previously accepted characterizations of social and economic behavior in Europe and Asia in the past. The originality of the analysis as well as the geographic breadth and historical depth of the data make Life Under Pressure a significant advance in the field of historical demography. Its findings will be of interest to scholars in economics, environmental studies, demography, history, and sociology as well as the general reader interested in these subjects.

"This book contains a concise and clear presentation of the entire Gospel story from Genesis to Revelation. It will go a long way to fill a need for such a book in the many Bible Schools and Mission Training Centers that Dr. Lee influences around the world." Dr. Vinson Synan It is Time to walk in God's Kingdom Power &amp; Transform the World for His Glory! Every believer in Yeshua the Messiah must understand God's overall mission for Fallen mankind. Once a disciple truly grasps God's heart for the Israelites and the Gentiles, they must walk with the authority of Yeshua and the power of the Holy Spirit, demonstrating His kingdom presence in this dark world. God's core mission is to utilize the Israelites to bring His Salvation and Kingdom plans to bless all the families of the earth through the Son of the living God, Yeshua. The invisible Kingdom of Heaven has touched down on the Day of Pentecost. When this Gospel of the Kingdom is preached throughout the world, witnessing to all the families of the earth, the end will come... James Lee In 1985, while stationed in Germany as a United States Air Force Officer, Dr. Lee was called by God out of the military.
