Book Reviews of Introduction to Global Health

Book Review: Great Introduction to Global Health
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this book for a class. It is very readable, interesting, informative, clear, and to the point. It's well organized with headings, key terms in bold, interesting maps, graphs, diagrams, etc. I've often used it as a reference in my life outside of class as well. Definitely a good book for anyone interested in public health or international development.

Summary of Introduction to Global Health

With a unique emphasis on possible solutions to world health problems, this book addresses all the key issues of global health at a level that is basic enough so that students from a variety of majors can understand the material. It will give the reader: An understanding of biological and social aspects of major global health issues, especially in the areas of infectious disease, nutrition, and environmental health. A knowledge of population groups that are at increased risk of poor health and familiarity with policies and programs designed to reduce health inequalities. A familiarity with global health vocabulary, the basic methods used to assess global health, and the tools to locate and understand additional global health information. The author has included over 170 tables and figures to illustrate important concepts, as well as a supplemental chapter on how to read journal articles. The text is also accompanied by downloadable instructor resources, including PowerPoint slides, a TestBank, and an Instructors Manual with suggested discussion questions and sample syllabi.
