Review :
The book is thoroughly researched with an impressive list of references. The style is straightforward and clear. The author's efforts are worthy and the book is enthusiastically recommended...Readers will find this book enjoyable and informative. -- Everett R. Rhoades Journal of the American Medical Association 20050216 This is an important contribution that deserves careful reading...Finely written, this well-constructed argument will reward both advanced students and the general public interested in the theme. -- Noble David Cook American Historical Review The 50-plus pages of endnotes in Jones's Rationalizing Epidemics amply illustrate the exhaustive data collection and primary-source review involved in the construction of this sweeping and persuasive work. His thought-provoking use of a wealth of archival evidence to support an explanatory model with regard to the meanings of catastrophic epidemics among Native Americans sets a new standard for historical research and interpretation. -- Joan Weibel-Orlando Current Antrhopology
