The Grim Reaper's Road map: publishing this month
*************************************************
This month The Policy Press are publishing an exciting new atlas - 'The
Grim Reaper's road map' by Mary Shaw, Bethan Thomas, George Davey Smith and
Daniel Dorling.
This impressive full-colour atlas, with over 100 colour-coded and
accessible maps, uniquely presents the geography of death in Britain. The
maps detail how often categories of cause of death (including various
cancers, suicides, assault by firearms, multiple sclerosis, pneumonia,
hypothermia, falls, and Parkinson's disease) occurred in different
constituencies and neighbourhoods throughout Great Britain over 24 years.
To celebrate its publication we are giving you the chance to buy the book
for just £25.59. Click on the following link to order your copy:
