From the rear cover

"The contributors to this book share a conceptual framework in which the socio-economic factors are clearly connected with onset and development of diseases in population. . . .But there is more: for the first time, authors . . . approach consistently the problem of the historical development of pathology."--Gilles Bibeau, Universite de Montreal
