Using data collected for 350 cities from around the world, the
authors use a variety of analytical methods to provide a global
picture of what was happening to infectious epidemic diseases at a
critical period in urban evolution on the international stage. The
diseases considered are diphtheria, enteric fever, measles, scarlet
fever, tuberculosis, and whooping cough. To place the results in a
wider time context, other data are used to look both backwards and
forwards for nearly a century on either side of the
twenty-five-year time window. The book presents a number of results
that may be interpreted in the context of debates on the causes of
long-term mortality decline from these infectious diseases. It will
be of interest to students of demography, history of medicine, and
economic history as well as to researchers already active in these
fields.
