Zusammenfassung: | Why did Europeans begin to count births and deaths? How did they collect the numbers and what did they do with them? Through a compelling comparative analysis, Vital Accounts charts the work of the physicians, clergymen and government officials who crafted the sciences of political and medical arithmetic in England and France during the long eighteenth-century, before the emergence of statistics and regular government censuses. Andrea A. Rusnock presents a social history of quantification that highlights the development of numerical tables, influential and enduring scientific instruments designed to evaluate smallpox inoculation, to link weather and disease to compare infant and maternal mortality rates, to identify changes in disease patterns and to challenge prevailing views about the decline of European population. By focusing on the most important eighteenth century controversies over health and population, Rusnock shows how vital accounts - the numbers of births and deaths - became the measure of public health and welfare |

Rusnock Cambridge Cambridge University Press 2002 1 online resource (xvi, 249 pages) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Cambridge studies in the history of medicine Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015) Why did Europeans begin to count births and deaths? How did they collect the numbers and what did they do with them? Through a compelling comparative analysis, Vital Accounts charts the work of the physicians, clergymen and government officials who crafted the sciences of political and medical arithmetic in England and France during the long eighteenth-century, before the emergence of statistics and regular government censuses. Andrea A. Rusnock presents a social history of quantification that highlights the development of numerical tables, influential and enduring scientific instruments designed to evaluate smallpox inoculation, to link weather and disease to compare infant and maternal mortality rates, to identify changes in disease patterns and to challenge prevailing views about the decline of European population. By focusing on the most important eighteenth century controversies over health and population, Rusnock shows how vital accounts - the numbers of births and deaths - became the measure of public health and welfare Geschichte 1700-1800 Geschichte 1700-1800 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte Mortality / England / History / 18th century Mortality / France / History / 18th century Smallpox / Vaccination / England / History / 18th century Smallpox / Vaccination / France / History / 18th century Medical climatology / England / History / 18th century Public health / England / History / 18th century Public health / France / History / 18th century Gesundheitsförderung (DE-588)4294611-6 gnd rswk-swf Medizinische Statistik (DE-588)4127563-9 gnd rswk-swf Epidemiologie (DE-588)4015016-1 gnd rswk-swf Öffentliches Gesundheitswesen (DE-588)4139691-1 gnd rswk-swf Frankreich England / Statistics, Medical / History / 18th century France / Statistics, Medical / History / 18th century Frankreich (DE-588)4018145-5 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 gnd rswk-swf England (DE-588)4014770-8 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 g Medizinische Statistik (DE-588)4127563-9 s Öffentliches Gesundheitswesen (DE-588)4139691-1 s Geschichte 1700-1800 z Frankreich (DE-588)4018145-5 g Epidemiologie (DE-588)4015016-1 s 1\p DE-604 England (DE-588)4014770-8 g Gesundheitsförderung (DE-588)4294611-6 s 2\p DE-604 3\p DE-604 4\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-10123-3 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-80374-8 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511550041 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
