{"product_id":"palaeoepidemiology-tony-waldron-9781598742527","title":"Palaeoepidemiology: The Measure of Disease in the Human Past","description":"How do we identify and measure human disease in the past? In the absence of soft tissue, paleoepidemiologists have developed ingenious ways of assessing illness and mortality in archaeological populations. In this volume, the key methods of epidemiology are outlined for non-specialists, showing the importance of studying prevalence over incidence, adjustments needed in studying past groups, how to compare studies, and the dangers of assessing occupation based upon bone evidence. A model for planning a proper paleoepidemiological study concludes the volume. Both as an introduction to epidemiology for archaeologists, and as a primer on archaeological analysis for epidemiologists, this book should serve the needs of both populations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tony Waldron\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1598742523\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781598742527\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 149\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2008 pg. 73","brand":"Tony Waldron","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47202984034559,"sku":"9781598742527","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_927dc6df-bea6-44c7-9d19-6c17e470fe5e.jpg?v=1756833971","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/palaeoepidemiology-tony-waldron-9781598742527","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
