Recensione

"...an important contribution to the still thin area of historical epidemiology..." Vincent J. Knapp, American Historical Review

"This work, which folds together the fields of geopgraphy, history, demography, economics, epidemiology, and public health (among others), is interdisciplinary history at its best." Kenneth F. Kiple, Journal of Interdisciplinary History
