Book on Climate Change and Health

Hi, all

I would like to introduce one textbook which provides the discussion of global environmental change, including climate change, and public health. It gives us not only the fundamental background of fields, but also tips how to explore knowledge through the Internet. It links many useful websites and academic papers.

The book is more broadly discuss the global environmental change, it also has the section of climate change and public health. One of the editors is Dr. Paz Jonathan, an expert of climate change and health. I took his course and used the textbook last year at UW-Madison. If you are interested, I will bring it next time.

Title: Ecosystem Change and Public Health: A Global Perspective, Dr.
Joan L. Aron PhD (Editor), Jonathan A. Patz MD MPH, The Johns
Hopkins University Press; 1 edition (May 16, 2001)

Masa: Thanks for bringing this book to our attention. I would LOVE to review your copy during our next class on April 1, 2009. It interests me because of my current focus on systems thinking and how this perspective may lead to more meaningful and sustainable advances in protecting the environment and improving the health of all of us around the globe. Gratefully, Mary
