A Comparative View of the Mortality of the Human Species, at All Ages
William Black
Who dies, and at what age? William Black tried to answer with numbers, tracing mortality across every stage of life from infancy to old age, planet and atmosphere included. An early exercise in the arithmetic of death, it stands among the first attempts to reason about health through statistics. A founding curiosity for anyone drawn to the history of epidemiology.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
