1.0 out of 5 stars
Hard to Read; Canadian Standards
By R. Camilleri on January 25, 2007
This book disappointed me. Although its 91 pages provide much good information, they are very hard to read. Type is set in long, right-justified lines (often 80 characters wide) in what looks to be 11-point Arial light. The tables and examples seem to be 8- or 9-point Arial light and are almost unreadable to me. There is no index, and finding the help you want here is arduous work.
When you do find it, you cannot rely on it south of the Canadian border. Sadly, the Amazon advertising gave me no hint that this book was written and published in Canada. A U.S. citizen cannot rely on the book's legal statements, and I cannot use it in my classes unless I want to confuse my U.S. students about spelling.

i'm a consultant that specializes in census operations from logistics/planning to data capture and subsequent editing to analysis of results and publication thereof
my clients are usually national statistical offices in east/west/southern africa or ngos/government aid agencies that fund censuses in those areas and want some assurance in the form of external expertise
i've done some work in the middle east too, as well contract work for other international entities such as imf/world bank, unstats, unpop, and most recently who regarding targeted improvement of vaccine coverage in developing countries
