The Handbook of DOHaD and Society

'This magnificent collection crosses disciplines and continents in its synthesis of exciting scholarship around the past, present, and future of DOHaD. It is a singular achievement, and its readers will be multiple.' Martyn Pickersgill, Professor of the Sociology of Science and Medicine, Edinburgh Medical School 'The clearest and most comprehensive account of DOHaD in society ever. Framing the field in terms of its history and with a biosocial lens, the many distinguished authors of this Handbook offer, in combination, a very thorough and erudite reading of DOHaD in its strength (and sometimes weakness). Understanding child health from this perspective queries and questions approaches in public health, clinical practice and policy. A book that sets the standard in this field; a book to cherish and keep close to hand by all those interested and involved in child health, from whatever perspective.' Stanley Ulijaszek, Emeritus Professor of Human Ecology, University of Oxford 'In a masterful manner, this Handbook weaves together a rich tapestry of perspectives from across the globe and various disciplines, offering a nuanced yet concise overview of the state of the art of research on DOHaD. Irrespective of your own field - whether you're a medical researcher, a nurse, social scientist, or a policy maker - prepare to see your work in a new light after reading this book.'
