Klappentext
Discover the field of health geography, which seeks to better understand the causes, spread, and mitigation of disease through the study of geographic factors.
The Geography of Disease opens with an introduction that explains what medical geography is and why geography can be an important factor in studying health. The book is organized into five main sections: Ecology and Disease, Population Health and Well-Being, Social Determinants of and Policy Impacts on Health, Globalization and Public Health, and Spatial Technology and Public Health. Each section begins with a broad overview of the topic, followed by a series of relevant essays. Essays focus on specific examples that bring the book's core concepts to life. Sidebars augment the main text, providing additional, high-interest content.
