"The volume serves as a critical step towards cross-disciplinary communication and shows promise that future research on epidemiologic transitions will draw from an even wider array of cross-disciplinary perspectives (e.g., Klaus, 2014)." (American Journal of Human Biology, 9 February 2015)
Written in an engaging and jargon-free style by a team of international and interdisciplinary experts, Modern Environments and Human Health demonstrates by example how methods, theoretical approaches, and data from a wide range of disciplines can be used to resolve longstanding questions about the second epidemiological transition. The first book to address the subject from a multi-regional, comparative, and interdisciplinary perspective, Modern Environments and Human Health is a valuable resource for students and academics in biological anthropology, economics, history, public health, demography, and epidemiology.
