I teach a large undergraduate class in global health and this was the second textbook I have tried for the course. It is quite strong on infectious disease and epidemiology - but almost totally silent on noncommunicable disease, which is an unforgivable omission these days. Student recommendations were not very enthusiastic, so I switched this year to another book. I am considering returning to it next year, however, and supplementing it with my own selection of articles on NCDs. If a second edition is contemplated, please include the NCDs and road traffic accidents as well - major causes of morbidity and mortality in low and middle income countries.By suzyf921
PS I was prompted to write this brief review by the totally LAME reviews posted by students - commenting before they had read the book, or worse, giving it one star because it had marks in it!! Hello - the author did not put those marks in there. Buy a new copy if you want a clean copy! Jeez. Let's be intelligent about these reviews.
I bought this book for a class. It is very readable, interesting, informative, clear, and to the point. It's well organized with headings, key terms in bold, interesting maps, graphs, diagrams, etc. I've often used it as a reference in my life outside of class as well. Definitely a good book for anyone interested in public health or international development.By Becky
