About this book
Reviews
“This book is a welcome addition to the growing body of mortality research. While remaining largely descriptive, it covers a broad range of topics and geographies. It therefore succeeds in its aim to provide a snapshot of themes of mortality research. Every mortality scholar will certainly find chapters of interest … .” (Sven Drefahl, European Journal of Population, Vol. 32, 2016)
“The book makes a useful contribution to new methods in the field of mortality and morbidity in general, and to the elucidation of trends and determinants. It is recommended for libraries and graduate programs covering the topic of mortality and morbidity. As the scope of chapters is diverse, a researcher interested in only a few of the topics has the option of purchasing only those specific chapters individually from Springer.” (Sulaiman Bah, Canadian Studies in Population, Vol. 43 (3-4), 2016)
