Don't Call Me Little Bunny

By Grégoire Solotareff

Death and the Metropolis offers a powerful analysis of demographic patterns in London over the ?long eighteenth century?, concentrating on mortality but also including data on marital fertility, population structure and migration. The study is based on a variety of sources including weekly and annual Bills of Mortality, parish registers and Quaker vital registers, and employs the techniques of family reconstitution and aggregative analysis. The data are analysed within the framework of a structural model of mortality change comprising the proximate determinants of exposure to, and resistance against, infectious agents on the the part of populations. Within this framework a model is established describing the specific demographic and epidemiological characteristics of early modern metropolitan centres. The evidence indicates that mortality in London was much higher than in other settlements in England for most of the period, but declined steeply in the later eighteenth century. This apparently reflected changes in exposure to infections.

Get real!

It's a sad indictment on modern life when - as previous reviewers have suggested - a book for children MUST contain consequences for bad actions, otherwise it cannot be deemed a "good" book. This book was a firm favourite with our children. Consequences be damned! This is a great tale of a naughty rabbit who does bad things, goes to jail, escapes, evades the police and goes into hiding at his grandfather's house, where he remains to this day. What? No consequences? Oh dear! GET REAL! It's a rattling good yarn! And - so far - none of my children have gone off the rails because of it.

Not for children.

It's appaulling that this book was ever aimed at children; it's absolutely horrifying. But it makes an excellent conversation piece when used as a cofee table book. Get this Book! Shock and amaze your friends... but keep away from children.
