international and interdisciplinary experts, Modern
Environments and Human Health demonstrates by example how
methods, theoretical approaches, and data from a wide range of
disciplines can be used to resolve longstanding questions about the
second epidemiological transition. The first book to address the
subject from a multi-regional, comparative, and interdisciplinary
perspective, Modern Environments and Human
Health is a valuable resource for students and academics
in biological anthropology, economics, history, public health,
demography, and epidemiology.
Molly K. Zuckerman is Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology and Middle Eastern Cultures at Mississippi State University. The author of numerous peer-reviewed publications, Dr. Zuckerman also teaches introductory courses in anthropology and biological anthropology, osteology, and human behavior and disease.
