Couldn't get it anywhere, had almost written the 5000 word essay using some references from it and thought balls to finding this again! Only library is one in london and it has to be in 4 weeks from now!

Could you buy a used copy? Textbooks are always expensive.

It will have good 2nd hand value probably, if you don't want to keep it too long. Amazon.

What is it called?

Don't kill your baby: Public Health evolution of the decline of breastfeeding. (I think!)

It's on Google books

moondog · 10/11/2010 22:54

That looks really interesting.

Try amazon and do lots of the 'read here' books, you get loads of quotes and references for essays and it looks like you read the whole boring book. Thats what I did anyway for a crapply boring uni essay - I passed Blush

You clearly have more money than sense.

thecaptaincrocfamily · 10/11/2010 23:02

Thats where I found it but I need to cite the origional references but you can't access the list at the end Sad.

I really don't have lots of money! Most of my wages go on a nanny - I am but a lowly nurse Grin

Are you sure? I can access the 'Works cited' list - page 251 (not sure if it's complete though) - or is it a different part you're after? Are there any particular references you're looking for?

thecaptaincrocfamily · 10/11/2010 23:07

The very old ones!!

I can view:

Archival sources
Interviews
Primary Sources

If the info you need is in there, would it help if I sent the relevant info to you?

Apologies if I'm talking about the wrong info...

thecaptaincrocfamily · 10/11/2010 23:17

That would be really helpful if you could Smile It means I can start and time is ebbing away Grin

thecaptaincrocfamily · 10/11/2010 23:19

Its the letters and correspondence from various people and health department stuff from chicago.

I must be really sad because I found the book really interesting, not read all of it but could be useful Smile

thecaptaincrocfamily · 10/11/2010 23:48
