(...) Today, geographers still cooperate with physicians in using modern techniques for mapping the distribution of deaths from various diseases (often an interesting indicator of the economic development of regions), and the information thus gained may also provide clues indicating some of the causal processes behind distributional variations.  3, record 1, English, - medical%20geography
