Review
“I am absolutely thrilled with the coverage of important topics in this book. It has brought together a fantastic assortment of the ‘Greatest Hits’ in global health with valuable new contributions in the original content. The interdisciplinary and holistic focus is ideal for introducing the very broad field of global health to students who may come from a range of perspectives.”–Bria Dunham, Boston University
“I appreciate the approach of this book. The authors have worked hard to include a broad array of readings; they demonstrate that much of what exists in the literature does not work for undergraduates. The readings are engaging and on point.”–Ann Magennis, Colorado State University
“Foundations of Global Health is both a text and a reader designed for introducing undergraduates to the basic concepts and questions in global health while presenting them with dynamic, engaging readings from the field.”–M. Cameron Hay, Miami University
“Foundations of Global Health provides a sound interdisciplinary introduction to the key issues and concepts in the field of global health. Through essays contextualized by editors’ commentary, students are encouraged to fully engage in the field. As an introduction to global health, this book provides a variety of instructive materials to help students as they navigate their way through their global health courses.”–Laura E. Nathan, University of California, Berkeley
