Book Synopsis


Trade Review

This volume is valuable just for its windows—through a series of 40 photographs, a comprehensive table of honors and awards Hamilton received, and an extensive bibliography of other source material—into the formative years of our field and the life of a pathbreaking woman in academia. But the authors have brought Hamilton into the present moment through their careful synthesis of how she came to occupational epidemiology and remained absolutely faithful to science and to evidence-based advocacy at its best.
