Caldwell, Emeritus Professor of Demography, Australian National University, Canberra
"James Riley's "Low Income, Social Growth, and Good Health" represents another major contribution to the understanding of the world-wide mortality transition of the past two centuries. Based upon extensive research, this book is important for historians and epidemiologists, as well as central to current policy debates, because of its demonstrations of the many factors that have influenced better health in addition to economic growth and new medications."--Stanley Engerman, John H. Munro Professor of Economics and History, University of Rochester
