Topic Index for the Casual Browser Below is an index for key concepts and terms – those used in sociological circles and popular media – found within The Factbook. This is not, in any way, intended to be a complete indexing of everything in The Factbook. Instead, it's just a quick reference to point you in the right direction, if you're looking for something specific. Also, the information in the memos relating to geographic distinctions is duplicative of that which is sorted by substantive topic (e.g., divorce rates in the U.S. will be under Divorce and North America). But other than that, to the best of our ability, we tried not to duplicate the information from one memo to the next. It makes the memos a more interesting read – but it also means that just because you read a few facts in one memo, that doesn't mean that's everything we have on that topic. In fact, there's a 99.8 percent chance there's more information on that topic somewhere else. If you want to be comprehensive, start by going to a memo, and then reading the related memos listed on that first memo's page. You still might miss something, but you'll have gotten most of the information. If you really need to see everything, or just can't find what you're looking for, email me at pobronson@pobronson.com.     Abuse, Child - See Children At Risk Abuse, Domestic - See Aging, Children At Risk, Domestic Violence Abuse, Senior - See Aging Adoption Africa, Families of - See Sub-Saharan Africa and Middle East / Arabian Africa African-American Families Aging American Dream American Family - Ethnic / Racial Information - See Ethnic Types within the U.S. American History, Children in - See Children in Modern European and American History American History, Family Structure - See Family Structures Appendix, Why Do I Love These People?
