The papers in this book answer the call by scholars in the fields
of Public Health, Community Health, Environmental Health and
Safety, Medicine, Bio-Statistics, and Decision Science, as well as
the call by political actors, policy experts, and various world
bodies dealing with health and safety in North Africa and the
Middle East, to address the intellectual lacuna left by the dearth
of scholarship on contemporary health, environmental, and safety
issues in the above-mentioned regions of the world. What is unique
about this edited volume is the extent to which the authors have
been careful in incorporating the general public's opinions about
the various public health and environmental health issues as well
as the unique views of the different genders. The topics covered
are broad and the depth is indisputably outstanding. Important
topics dealt with include HIV and AIDS, diabetes, hepatitis B and
C, as well as water and it's associated environmental,
agricultural, and health impact. Even more important and innovative
about this volume is the attempt by the authors to examine real
and/or actual views of the research populations on environmental
and public health issues based on participants' their religion;
that is, whether the Islamic religion plays any significant role,
for example, in determining the main characteristics of the
diabetes epidemic in Islamic countries world-wide in general, and
in the Arabian Peninsula in particular. There is no doubt that this
volume is a pathfinder in its geographic breath of covering two
politically important sub-regions of the world -- North Africa and
the Middle East. Even more important is the detailed attention the
volume devotes to Hepatitis B and C, especially, its impact on
migration. Most of the contributors are distinguished in the
subject area thereby making the volume authentic and most highly
respectable.
