This stimulating, carefully-researched book on The Late Life Legacy
of Very Early Life by Dr. Gabriele Doblhammer is the second volume
of a new series of Demographic Research Monographs published by
Springer Verlag. The topic of the book is fascinating. Is a
person's lifespan influ enced by health and nutrition in-utero and
shortly after birth? If so, why? The answers uncovered by the
diligence, demographic and statistical ex pertise, and probing
intelligence of the author are surprising but convinc ing. To pry
open the mystery of the lingering impact of very early life, Dr.
Doblharnmer focuses on month of birth. It turns out that people
born in some months live substantially longer on average than
people born in other months, not because of astrological forces but
for reasons of health and nutrition. Dr. Doblhammer was educated in
statistics and demography and earlier this year was the first
person ever to receive the "Habilitation" de gree, the recognition
given in the German-speaking world to proven scho lars who are
qualified to become professors, in Demography. This book, which is
evidence that she fully deserves this award, will not only provide
important new fmdings about the legacy of early life but will also
serve as a comprehensive foundation of knowledge on which future
scholars can build. The series of Demographic Research Monographs
is under the editorial supervision of the Max Planck Institute for
Demographic Research. Prof. James W. Vaupel, Founding Director of
the Institute, is Editor-in-Chief."
