"In this engagingly written work on an important topic, the authors argue, quite convincingly, that the social and biological determinants and consequences of low birth weight have not been adequately explored by social scientists or natural/life scientists."--Brian Powell, Allen D. and Polly S. Grimshaw Professor of Sociology, Indiana University "Conley and colleagues make a major contribution to knowledge of the causes and consequences of low birth weight and draw on that knowledge to formulate public policies for prevention and intervention.

Their work is an integrative triumph of major dimension."--Alvin R.
