Deciphering Global Epidemics: Analytical Approaches to the Disease Records of World Cities, 1888–1912: 26 (Cambridge Studies in Historical Geography, Series Number 26) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Using data collected for 350 cities from around the world, the authors use a variety of analytical methods to provide a global picture of what was happening to infectious epidemic diseases at a critical period in urban evolution on the international stage. The diseases considered are diphtheria, enteric fever, measles, scarlet fever, tuberculosis, and whooping cough. To place the results in a wider time context, other data are used to look both backwards and forwards for nearly a century on either side of the twenty-five-year time window. The book presents a number of results that may be interpreted in the context of debates on the causes of long-term mortality decline from these infectious diseases. It will be of interest to students of demography, history of medicine, and economic history as well as to researchers already active in these fields.

Review
"...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
Book Description

The authors analyse data on diphtheria, enteric fever, measles, scarlet fever, tuberculosis, and whooping cough, and death from all causes, to give insights into patterns of mortality from these diseases.
