Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines infant mortality as a global issue, tracing statistical trends from as early as 1549 in Geneva to the early years of the 20th century. The author presents infant death rates from various countries and periods, exploring the factors that influence them and challenging the conventional wisdom that infant mortality has invariably declined alongside general population health. The author questions why the infant mortality rate has remained stubbornly consistent for centuries, showing that even with advances in medicine and hygiene, the rate has remained largely unchanged. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of public health and the complex factors that affect infant mortality.
