About this title

Synopsis

A thorough look at how economic conditions shape child health, using rickets as a lens to view a nation’s well‑being.

This edition combines two parts in one volume and is freely illustrated, offering both medical detail and social context.

The book connects health with housing, nutrition, work, and urban life, showing how environment and policy influence growth, development, and disease. It draws on a wide range of data and history to explain why rickets has appeared where it has and how communities can improve health through practical changes.

• Understand how economic factors, housing, diet, and industrial life relate to bone health and childhood development
• Explore a global and historical perspective on rickets and public health
• Learn about nutrition, feeding practices, and early intervention that can affect outcomes
• See how evidence from the past informs today’s approaches to health and social policy

Ideal for readers of medical history, public health, and social medicine, as well as anyone interested in how economic conditions influence health outcomes.
