Conclusions: Global health and cross-cutting themesReviewsGlobal health as a state, object of critical analysis and multi-disciplinary realm of study cannot be dissociated from its geographies. Yet, geographers and geography as a discipline remain at the margins of the burgeoning global health field. With this detailed and insightful new text, Tony Gatrell makes a powerful and compelling case for the importance not only of geographers connecting with global health, but also for the field of global health to better connect with the geographical. -- Clare Herrick, Professor of Geography and Global Health, King’s College London The book health and medical geographers have been waiting for. Beautifully illustrated and carefully worded by a master of the art and science of geography. A book to learn from, to use for teaching, and to widen your horizons. -- Danny Dorling, Halford Mackinder Professor of Geography, University of Oxford At last, the book health geographers urgently need. The Covid-19 pandemic has underscored the significance of global thinking and action in maintaining good health and addressing health inequities. To achieve this, it is essential to comprehend the social, environmental, and political factors that transcend borders and operate across different geographical scales. With Global Health: Geographical Connections, Gatrell rises to this challenge and has delivered a text that is theoretically robust and empirically rich. Through a wide range of captivating case studies from various parts of the world, the book compellingly argues for the involvement of geographers in addressing global health concerns. Simultaneously, it urges global health scholars from other disciplines to recognize the indispensable role of geographical processes operating across borders in understanding health worldwide. Gatrell's book fills a crucial gap in the literature. -- Jamie Pearce, Professor of Health Geography, University of Edinburgh Author InformationAnthony C.
