It is the first study to bring together both published and unpublished material about the history of the health of Belgian men and women and to analyse it critically. Isabelle Devos studies the mechanisms of the historic fall in the death rate in an original manner and answers the question why research on the causes of this decline has not progressed faster. While the discipline of historical demography orients the first part of her book, the discipline of historical epidemiology provides the perspective taken in the second part, in which the role of insects as spreaders of disease is explored. Essential in her study is the importance of local medical practitioners who already at the end of the Ancien Régime warned of the dangers present in the environment. Their ?ecological? thinking created a consciousness that was decisive for the further development of healthcare. 410 0$aHistorische economie en ecologie. 606 $aBusiness & Economics$2HILCC 606 $aDemography$2HILCC 615 7$aBusiness & Economics 615 7$aDemography 700 $aDevos$b Isabelle$0800989 801 0$bPQKB 801 2$bUkMaJRU 912 $a996201666803316 996 $aAllemaal beestjes.
