Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1996. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Near fine. First printing, octavo size, 725 pp. From the dust jacket flap, "[This book by a Cambridge professor]...offers an original interpretation of the history of falling fertilities. It integrates the approaches of the social sciences and of demographic, gender and labour history with intellectual, social and political history... A new general approach to the study of fertility change is proposed; also a new conception of the relationship between class, community and fertility change; and a new evaluation of the positive role of feminism."
