'Famine, Disease and the Social Order in Early Modern Society, a worthy tribute to the late Andrew B. Appleby is to be welcomed for its staunch determination to set historical demography in the thick of a total history, one in which the study of populations, nutrition and human biology is mediated through the practices and ideologies of society at large. In what is an unusually integrated collection of essays - all eight authors address a tight repertoire of issues - the role of human agency, responding to pressures and prospects, is constantly raised.' Roy Porter, The Times Literary Supplement
