Recenzje

"This is an excellent reference book for students undertaking courses in global health. It introduces them to the many diverse issues that lie under the umbrella of global health studies, while encouraging them to think critically by including a set of intermittent questions aimed at the reader."
David McCoy, Queen Mary University of London

"Warwick–Booth and Cross examine global health from a perspective of health equity and critical human rights. This welcome and refreshing departure challenges both learners and researchers to develop innovations for a postcolonial world. With activities to facilitate deep learning and problem solving, this text makes a valuable contribution to the curriculum of service providers and prepares students to be globally responsible citizens."
Karline Wilson–Mitchell, Ryerson University
