Health issues in geography

Edición de la obra Health issues in geography

This book explores how geography adds to the study of health and considers the numerous links between the two. It considers: Geography and disease, with examples focusing on disease and the environment (malaria) and behavioural disease such as HIV ; Geographical disparities in health care, with investigations of the impact of economic development upon human health, together with health issues arising from affluence ; Disparities in the geography of health care in countries at different stages of development ; Regional disparities in health care in the UK, and why health care varies so much depending upon factors such as education, income and occupation.
