Recenzii
'Yi-Tang Lin tells a most fascinating story on how crucial the networks of the experts of public health statistics were in China's close relationship with the predecessors of WHO, and how the lives and expertise of these Chinese statisticians were played out in the ROC and the PRC in the early WHO days during the Cold War.' Tomoko Akami, The Australian National University
'Thanks to Lin we know about how a new vocabulary, intertwining numerical data, indexes and political values, promoted by scholars, health workers and policy makers became essential for the validation of Global Health during the 20th century. A remarkable contribution to Global Health studies in China and beyond, past and present.' Marcos Cueto, Fiocruz
'Today, statistics and the language of numbers dominates global health thinking and practice. Yi-Tang Lin's ground-breaking study provides a much-needed history of how this came to be. Wide ranging, well researched and clearly written, Lin's book traces the emergence of statistics in global health over the course of the 20th century.' Randall Packard, John Hopkins University
