Reviews
"The author hopes to reach public health professionals, policymakers, scientists, economists, etc., who would be interested in collaborating in an integrated way to address the problems of health inequities brought about by climate change. This book will provide a scientific foundation for such collaboration and would also make an excellent complementary textbook to public health and sociology courses that deal with environmental health, climate change, and social inequity and health determinants. It is also a useful guide for those in urban planning and organizations working on reducing the impact of climate change on society." -- Betty C. Jung, Adjunct Lecturer, Department of Public Health, Southern Connecticut State University, World Medical and Health Policy"This would be a handy text for graduate courses on climate change. Apart from the clarity of presentation and the accessibility of the book, the tone is attractively positive, in the spirit of Raymond Williams' call to 'make hope practical, rather than despair convincing'." -- Alistair Woodward, International Journal of Epidemiology, "The author hopes to reach public health professionals, policymakers, scientists, economists, etc., who would be interested in collaborating in an integrated way to address the problems of health inequities brought about by climate change.

Synopsis
Climate change and social inequity are both sprawling, insidious forces that threaten populations around the world. It's time we start talking about them together. Climate Change and the People's Health offers a brave and ambitious new framework for understanding how our planet's two greatest existential threats comingle, complement, and amplify one another -- and what can be done to mitigate future harm. In doing so it posits three new modes of thinking: - That climate change interacts with the social determinants of health and exacerbates existing health inequities - The idea of a "consumptagenic system" -- a network of policies, processes, governance and modes of understanding that fuel unhealthy, and environmentally destructive production and consumption - The steps necessary to move from denial and inertia toward effective mobilization, including economic, social, and policy interventions With insights from physical science, social science, and humanities, this short book examines how climate change and social inequity are indelibly linked, and considering them together can bring about effective change in social equity, health, and the environment., Climate change and social inequity are both sprawling, insidious forces that threaten populations around the world.

    This is an outstanding seller to deal with. Fair prices that are more than reasonable in this economy. The product is in better condition than described, a true value for my money. Packaged and shipped well shows seller has concern for the products he sells to arrive in excellent condition. The seller is friendly and communicates timely with his customers. I highly recommend this seller and would do business again anytime. Thank you!

    Great seller! Item is what I ordered; good communication; shipped promptly; good value. NOTE TO SELLER: packaging was NOT appropriate for item; it was a flimsy, plastic envelope, with no stiff material to prevent creases. The book came with two deep creases that involved the *entire* item: one is a 1" triangle lower left side (bound edge); the other is a 7" triangle on upper right side (open edge).

    Item as described. Shipped quick. Packed well. They accidentally gave me the wrong tracking number. I contacted them twice with my concerns that package third party shipper never was received at USPS as of 5 days after it said they shipped. They helped me through but neglected to see they had issued me an incorrect tracking number. Otherwise, my transaction was excellent. I will give them a 5star rating since they quickly tried to help me with my concerns. Anyone can make a mistake.
