Über den Autor


Lynnette Leidy Sievert is a Professor of Anthropology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She has international recognition for her cross-cultural studies of women at mid-life. Her work includes both quantitative and qualitative measures, and her human biology background has enabled her to integrate biological and anthropological approaches to understanding this critical period in women's lives. She is an elected Fellow of the AAAS, and has served on the Executive Committee of the Human Biology Association and on the Board of Trustees of the North American Menopause Society. She is the author of numerous scholarly articles, and Menopause: A Biocultural Perspective, published by Rutgers University Press in 2006. Daniel E. Brown is Professor of Anthropology at the University of Hawaii at Hilo. He has utilized self-reports and biological markers of stress in his studies on immigration and ethnic health disparities. He is the former President of the Human Biology Association and an elected Fellow of the AAAS. He is the author of numerous peer-reviewed scholarly articles, as well as coauthor of Fundamentals of Human Ecology (1998) and author of Human Biological Diversity: An Introduction to Human Biology (2010), both published by Prentice-Hall.
