About this title

Synopsis

Commemorating 100 years since the publication of Sir George Newman's 'Infant Mortality: A Social Problem', this volume evaluates Newman's critical contribution, reviews current understandings of the history of infant and early childhood mortality and discusses modern approaches to infant health as a continuing social problem. It also proposes new ways of defining and tackling the problem of persistent mortality differentials.
