The Agenda Human Geographies series explores contemporary issues, debates and controversies from geographical perspectives and presents the distinctive contributions offered by the discipline. It examines a wide range of topics such as health, globalization, development, justice, migration, race, gender and sexuality, inequality, culture and crime. New and emerging areas as well as established fields come under the spotlight in thought-provoking and incisive discussions by leading scholars. Theoretically informed, authors utilize the latest thinking and critical analysis to reveal the diversity of geographical contributions to our understanding of issues that society faces today. Forward looking, they conclude with a consideration of directions in which the discipline will develop in the future. Books are written for an international readership studying, researching and engaging with geographical thought. They are suitable for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate course use as well as scholars working in geography and related disciplines.

  • Drawing on the latest research in health geography and a wide range of case studies from across the world, this comprehensive and authoritative study offers students an unrivalled analysis of the geographical connections of global health and the challenges they present for governance and treatment. Topics considered include health inequalities across countries, the governance of health by nation-states and international organizations, the incidence and spread of infectious disease, the links between air and water quality and health outcomes, and the health impacts of climate change. The book considers how these different issues play out in a range of geographical settings across the world, with a particular focus on low- and middle-income countries, which are disproportionally affected. The book demonstrates the indispensable role of geographical processes operating across borders in understanding health worldwide and is an excellent resource for courses on health geography, global health, public health and development studies.
