Lacking written records, many of these New World cities can be studied only through archaeology, including the earliest pre-Columbian city, Teotihuacan, Mexico, one of the largest cities of its time (150 B.C. to A.D. 750). Thus, an important question is how similar New World cities are to their Old World counterparts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore recent times, the dense populations of cities made them unhealthy places because of poor sanitation and inadequate food supplies. Storey's research shows clearly that although Teotihuacan was a very different environment and culture from 17th-century London, these two great cities are comparable in terms of health problems and similar death rates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebecca Storey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0817305599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780817305598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Alabama Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/30\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 6.40w x 0.81d","brand":"Rebecca Storey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086953361663,"sku":"9780817305598","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8e7cfcc1-9e03-4997-abe5-cc047e5a1bd6.jpg?v=1769097449","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/life-and-death-in-the-rebecca-storey-9780817305598","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
