Autor J. Edward Hutson, Henry S. Fraser
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 oct 2012

It is the first comprehensive documentation of an epidemiological nature, in English, in the Caribbean, and justifies the title 'first Caribbean epidemiologist' for Dr Hillary. He made rigourous observations and clear deductions that have stood the test of time surprisingly well.
