Guest, Greg
ed. Globalization, health, and
the environment : an integrated perspective. Lanham,
MD : AltaMira Press, c2005.
Leading health scholars reveal the impact of globalization on human health, as
it is mediated through environmental change. They explore the destabilizing impact
of globalization on the planet's ecology, and on the health of the human populations
that are dependent on the delicate global bionetwork. Their timely case studies
describe the cultural adaptations of indigenous populations to their changing
environments, evaluating their technological and global political-economic processes.
The authors analyze local and global public health strategies, examine the association
between globalization and demographies, and offer creative solutions for future
health policies. This book will be a valuable resource for professionals in international
health, medical anthropology, sociology and geography, environmental studies,
and globalization studies (Altamira Press). |

Harris,
Richard L. and Seid, Melinda editors. Globalization and health.
Leiden; Boston : Brill, 2004
This international collection of essays on globalization and health examines
the global health issues associated with the economic, technological, political,
social, cultural and environmental effects of globalization—the increasing
movement of capital, people, technology, goods, information, environmental pollution,
and disease around the globe. These essays analyze the complex linkages between
globalization and health, the health effects of globalization at all levels (global,
national, and local), and the policy and institutional responses associated with
the health consequences of globalization. |

Heymann, Jody. Forgotten
families : ending the growing crisis
confronting children and working parents
in the global economy Oxford
; New
York : Oxford University Press, 2006
In the last half-century, radical changes have
rippled through the workplace and the home, from
Boston to Bombay-- changes that have dramatically
affected how men and women can care for their
families. In the face of rapid globalization,
these changes affect us all, and we can no longer
confine ourselves to addressing working and social
conditions within our own borders without simultaneously
addressing them on a global scale. This is, however,
a daunting task, and few have attempted to bridge
either the gaps between families in different
countries or the rifts between families, employers,
and governments around the world. This is the
goal of Forgotten Families: Ending the Growing
Crisis Confronting Children and Working Parents
in the Global Economy.
Based
on over a thousand in-depth interviews and survey data from more than 55,000
families spanning five continents, Forgotten Families is the first truly global
account of how the changing conditions of work threaten children, women and
men, and the infirm. It addresses problems faced by working families in industrialized
and developing countries alike, touching on issues of child health and development,
barriers to parents getting and keeping jobs, and problems families confront
daily and in times of crisis (Oxford University Press web description). |
