In Turning the World Upside Down Nigel Crisp argued that the most
affluent and powerful countries in the world can learn a great deal
about health from lower income countries with their different
insights and experiences and their ability to innovate free from
vested interests and received wisdom. In Turning the World Upside
Down Again, he argues that they need to go further and listen to
and learn from disempowered communities in their own countries. He
describes how combining the learning from different countries and
communities can lead us to a new ecologically based vision for
health and new and practical ways of improving health for
ourselves, our communities and our planet. This second edition, 12
years after the first, is extensively re-written and fully updated,
drawing on examples from around the world and reflecting what has
already been learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and from the onset
of climate change. Turning the World Upside Down Again continues
the search for understanding begun in the first edition and
describes how western scientific medicine, which has served us so
well in the 20th Century, must adapt and evolve further and faster
to cope with the demands of the 21st Century.
