Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'The Bureau of the Census: Its History, Activities, and Organization' provides a comprehensive and detailed account of one of the most vital administrative arms of the United States government. Written by W. Stull Holt, this study explores the evolution of the Bureau from its constitutional origins to its functional maturity in the early 20th century. The work serves as an essential resource for understanding how the federal government collects, processes, and utilizes demographic and economic data to shape national policy.The book is divided into several key sections, beginning with a historical overview of the census-taking process in America. It then delves into the specific activities of the Bureau, including the decennial population census, specialized agricultural and industrial surveys, and the ongoing collection of vital statistics. Finally, the text examines the organizational structure of the agency, detailing the personnel and logistical frameworks required to manage such a massive undertaking.This scholarly study offers invaluable insights for historians, sociologists, and political scientists interested in the growth of the American administrative state and the technical development of social sciences. It highlights the transition of the census from a simple enumeration tool to a complex engine of national intelligence.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
