Description
Leading health scholars reveal the impact of globalization on human health, as it is mediated through environmental change.
They explore the destabilizing impact of globalization on the planet's ecology, and on the health of the human populations that are dependent on the delicate global bionetwork.
Their timely case studies describe the cultural adaptations of indigenous populations to their changing environments, evaluating their technological and global political-economic processes.
The authors analyze local and global public health strategies, examine the association between globalization and demographies, and offer creative solutions for future health policies.
This book will be a valuable resource for professionals in international health, medical anthropology, sociology and geography, environmental studies, and globalization studies.
