S. Abraham and K.B. Gotpagar. An Annotated Bibliography of Mortality Studies in India. Bombay: Himalaya Publishing House. 1985. vii + 191 pp.

The book contains bibliographic citations that reflect the past and the present developments in technical and substantive aspects of mortality as well as policy issues and their implications. The list of publications includes 380 published and unpublished references from 1921 to the present.

The studies listed in the book may be divided into four broad classes: (i) General mortality; (ii) Infant, neonatal, post-neonatal and perinatal mortality; (iii) Maternal mortality; and (iv) Life Tables. This book would be of great usefulness to policy-makers in the formulation of health policy in the developing countries of the world.
