The main focus of this monograph is synthesizing the importance of
geographic approaches to public health and patient care. The
chapters are organized into four themed sections: the role of
geography in health care reform; the geographies of human health;
geospatial data and technologies; and geography in medicine. It is
a highly informative book, providing scientific insight for
geographers with an interest in advanced geospatial applications
and health research. The author is an international expert in
geography, GIS, and public health, who co-edited a special issue on
"Geospatial Applications in Disease Surveillance," published in the
International Journal of Applied Geospatial Research. "Health,
Science, and Place is a well-intentioned overview of medical
geography in the context of the ACA. Blatt does an excellent job
synthesizing ecologic and geographic literatures with what we know
about individual health, health care systems, and public health.
... this book fills a need in the field by offering a timely
discussion of the ACA and medical geography." - Jennifer L. Moss,
The AAG Review of Books, Vol. 4 (2), 2016 "Amy Blatt's pioneering
new book on geomedicine and its exciting capacity to promote health
and minimize risk is a robust call for understanding the role of
geography for everyone's quality of life. In Health, Science, and
Place: A New Mode, Dr. Blatt's contributions can be summarized in
three categories: comprehensive analysis, creative curating, and
targeted innovations... Overall, Dr. Blatt's Health, Science, and
Place: A New Model is a pathbreaking book challenging all public
health and health communication scholars and practitioners to
explore vigorously the role of medical geography as a shining new
bridge between geography and patient care." - John C. Pollock, PhD,
MPA, Professor of Health Communication and Human Rights, and
Faculty Affiliate in Public Health, The College of New Jersey,
Ewing, NJ
