{"product_id":"the-healthy-country-alistair-woodward-9781869408138","title":"The Healthy Country?: A History of Life \u0026 Death in New Zealand","description":"Did Maori or Europeans live longer when Captain James Cook arrived in New Zealand in 1769? Why were Pakeha New Zealanders the healthiest, longest-lived people on the face of the globe for 80 years--and why did Maori not enjoy the same life expectancy? Why were New Zealanders' health and longevity surpassed by other nations in the late 20th century? Through lively text and quantitative analysis presented in accessible graphics, the authors answer these questions by analyzing the impact of nutrition and disease, immigration and unemployment, alcohol and obesity, and medicine and vaccination. The result is a powerful argument about why people live and why people die in New Zealand--and what might be done about it. \u003ci\u003eThe Healthy Country?\u003c\/i\u003e is important reading for anyone interested in the story of New Zealanders and a decisive contribution to current international debates about health, disease, and medicine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alistair Woodward,Tony Blakely\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1869408136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781869408138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Auckland University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Alistair Woodward","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097083814143,"sku":"9781869408138","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-healthy-country-alistair-woodward-9781869408138","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
