There is increasing understanding, globally, that climate change will have profound and mostly harmful effects on human health. This second edition of "Climate Change and Global Health" brings together international experts to describe both direct and indirect impacts of climate change, set in a broad, international, economic, political and environmental context.
“Two of the most pressing issues of our time, climate change and health, are addressed with exceptional scholarship and clarity in this new volume edited by Prof Colin D Butler of the Faculty of Health at the University of Canberra, Australia. Unusual for a multi-author book where disciplinary diversity is required is its coherence and evidential thoroughness. This is no small tribute to the broad grasp of the complex science tackled and marshalled by the editor and his advisors."
