Philippine morbidity and mortality rates were the world's highest during the period 1883-1903. Ken De Bevoise's historical analysis explores the conjunction of demographic, economic, technological, cultural, and political processes that led to this outcome. The work uses archival records interpreted with concepts from health sciences to examine human interaction with their total environment.
