Summary: This volume emerged, piece by piece, from a symposium on fertility decline in the less developed countries that was sponsored by the American Association for the Advancement of Science; it was held, interestingly enough, on Valentine's Day 1978. We owe the AAAS our thanks. More specifically, we should like to thank Elisabeth Zeutschel, meetings manager for the AAAS, whose painstaking efforts were essential in the success of the symposium, and hence crucial in the evolution of the book. Although their hands may not be immediately recognized, Nathan Keyfitz of Harvard's sociology department and Richard Tabors of MIT's Energy Laboratory made important contributions to this volume, first through the challenging ideas they presented at the symposium, then later with the many rigorous criticisms and useful comments they provided on the emerging manuscripts. Their help was greatly appreciated.
