In the second edition of An Introduction to the Geography of
Health, Helen Hazen and Peter Anthamatten explore the ways in which
geographic ideas and approaches can inform our understanding of
health. The book's focus on a broad range of physical and social
factors that drive health in places and spaces offers students and
scholars an important holistic perspective on the study of health
in the modern era. In this edition, the authors have restructured
the book to emphasize the theoretical significance of ecological
and social approaches to health. Spatial methods are now reinforced
throughout the book, and other qualitative and quantitative methods
are discussed in greater depth. Data and examples are used
extensively to illustrate key points and have been updated
throughout, including several new extended case studies such as
water contamination in Flint, Michigan; microplastics pollution;
West Africa's Ebola crisis; and the Zika epidemic. The book
contains more than one hundred figures, including new and updated
maps, data graphics, and photos. The book is designed to be used as
the core text for a health geography course for undergraduate and
lower-level graduate students and is relevant to students of
biology, medicine, entomology, social science, urban planning, and
public health.
