The link between modern lifestyles and increasing levels of chronic
heart disease, obesity, stress and poor mental health is a concern
across the world. The cost of dealing with these conditions places
a large burden on national public health budgets so that
policymakers are increasingly looking at prevention as a
cost-effective alternative to medical treatment. Attention is
turning towards interactions between the environment and
lifestyles. Exploring the relationships between health, natural
environments in general, and forests in particular, this
groundbreaking book is the outcome of the European Union's COST
Action E39 'Forests, Trees and Human Health and Wellbeing', and
draws together work carried out over four years by scientists from
25 countries working in the fields of forestry, health, environment
and social sciences. While the focus is primarily on health
priorities defined within Europe, this volume explicitly draws also
on research from North America.
