Synopsis
This book examines the remarkable decline of mortality in Europe which began in the nineteenth century and continued in an uninterrupted fashion, into the early twentieth century.
The transition of mortality between 1870 and 1920 had profound effects for European and American societies. Interpretations explaining such changes have become a hotbed of controversy. Some scholars stress the importance of improved nutrition, levels of income, and living standards as the crucial factors. Others consider public health, social organization, and scientific advances to be more significant. This volume brings to light the different positions held on these various issues, describes advances made in the field, and indicates directions for future research.

Review
'Economic historians can obviously contribute a lot to this research agenda, and they would do well to start with this volume; those who miss this opportunity will be deprived of an intellectual feast.'John Komlos, University of Pennsylvania, Journal of Economic History, March 1993
'These authors pay close attention to the quality of data, and the book is valuable for its descriptive material alone. The broad comparative work in this volume is clearly needed to sort out the particular from the general and therefore is valuable.'Gretchen A. Condran, Temple University, Contemporary Sociology, March 1993
`This is a welcome book ... What emerges from this readable and compelling book is much fascinating detail, and a reasonably clear comparative picture of historical trends and convergence in mortality ... excellent book.'Annals of Human Biology
'a timely and useful review of the uncertainties about the topic of mortality decline'Etienne van de Walle, University of Pennsylvania, Journal of Interdisciplinary History, Winter 1994
'This is clearly an important book.'P.E.H. Hair, University of Liverpool, EHR, February 1995
