Jossey-Bass Inc.,U.S. (Verlag)
978-1-119-66795-7 (ISBN)
The Second Edition of Global Climate Change and Human Health delivers an accessible and comprehensive exploration of the rapidly accelerating and increasingly ubiquitous effects of climate change and global warming on human health and disease. The distinguished and accomplished authors discuss the health impacts of the economic, climatological, and geopolitical effects of global warming.
You'll learn about:
The effect of extreme weather events on public health and the effects of changing meteorological conditions on human health
How changes in hydrology impact the spread of waterborne disease and noninfectious waterborne threats
Adaptation to, and the mitigation and governance of, climate change, including international perspectives on climate change adaptation
Perfect for students of public health, medicine, nursing, and pharmacy, Global Climate Change and Human Health, Second Edition is an invaluable resource for anyone with an interest in the intersection of climate and human health and disease.
JAY LEMERY, MD, is Professor of Emergency Medicine and co-Director of the Climate & Health Program at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and faculty in the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health at the Colorado School of Public Health. He is the Medical Director for the National Science Foundation’s Polar Research Program and a past-President of the Wilderness Medical Society. KIM KNOWLTON, DrPH, MS, is Assistant Professor of Environmental Health Sciences at the Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University; and senior scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council in New York. She served as co-convening lead author for the human health chapter of the U.S. Third National Climate Assessment; as a member of the 2nd and 4th New York City Panel on Climate Change; and participated in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 2007 Fourth and 2013 Fifth Assessment Reports. She is a health scientist specializing in the human health impacts of climate change, particularly air pollution and extreme heat. CECILIA SORENSEN, MD, is an Emergency Medicine physician-investigator in the area of climate change and health at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and the University of Colorado School of Public Health. She has a broad range of expertise at the intersection of human health, environmental health and social justice.
