"In this engagingly written work on an important topic, the authors
argue, quite convincingly, that the social and biological
determinants and consequences of low birth weight have not been
adequately explored by social scientists or natural/life
scientists."--Brian Powell, Allen D. and Polly S. Grimshaw
Professor of Sociology, Indiana University
"Conley and colleagues make a major contribution to knowledge of
the causes and consequences of low birth weight and draw on that
knowledge to formulate public policies for prevention and
intervention. The book provides for the broad field of the social
determinants of health a fresh framework for research that
interacts social and biological factors and health consequences
into an intergenerational life course understanding of human
development and health. Their work is an integrative triumph of
major dimension."--Alvin R. Tarlov, M.D., Director of the Texas
Institute for Society and Health, Rice University
""The Starting Gate provides a sophisticated, yet easily
accessible, understanding of how biological and social factors
interact across lives and generations to affect birth weight and
future life chances."--David Mechanic, Rene Dubos Professor of
Behavioral Science, Rutgers University
