Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the risks to human health arising from traditional modes of burying the dead. The author explores case studies from ancient history, religious practices, and legislation to demonstrate how cities have actively sought to prevent the dead from being buried near the living. Exploring texts from a variety of cultures, the author argues that the practice of burying the dead within city limits posed a health risk that has been widely acknowledged by scientists and public health officials for centuries. This argument is supported by citing examples of public health emergencies that were caused by improper burial practices. This book serves as a reminder of the importance of public health measures and the risks associated with neglecting them.
