Reviews
“Kudos to the authors! This expertly researched and well-written second edition is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the principal causes and implications of human health outcomes. The blending of its social-environmental basis and sociological perspective renders this updated volume a unique and valuable addition to scholarship in both sociology and public health.” Professor Mary Zimmerman, University of Kansas School of Medicine “What we breathe in, eat, and drink; where we work and live; how we travel – each, done badly, can damage health. The second edition of The Social Determinants of Health takes us on a wonderfully informative journey to examine the governmental and industrial causes of exposures that determine health.” Professor Sir Michael Marmot, Chair of the World Health Organization’s Commission on Social Determinants of Health (2005–2008)
