been revised for greater readability, with new coverage of ecology,
sustainability, and vulnerable populations, with integrated
coverage of policy issues, and with a more global focus.

ecology reminds is that 'everything is connected to everything
else.' Each piece of the system affects the whole, and the whole

out the facts, makes the connections, and demonstrates the
importance of these crucial issues to human health and well-being,
both on a global scale, and in our homes, workplaces, and
neighborhoods.
