Beschreibung:
John Eyles is a Distinguished University Professor at McMaster University, Canada. Based in Geography and Earth Sciences, he holds appointments in Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Sociology and the Centre for Health Economics and Policy analysis. His main research interests lie in environmental influences on human health and access to health care resources within a policy context. He has pursued that latter interest through a National Research Foundation South African Research Chair in Health Policy and Systems in the Centre for Health Policy, School of Public Health, University of Witwatersrand, where he is a Distinguished Research Professor.
Offering the first comprehensive and cohesive summary of the input from social science to this field, this book focuses on how humans theorize their relationships to the environment with respect to health and how these ideas are mediated through an evaluation of risk and hazards. Bringing disparate literatures from across several disciplines together with their own applied research and experience, the book questions how social theories and models of the way the world works can contribute to understanding uncertainties. This book is essential reading for those working in the fields of health geography, environmental sociology, anthropology, environmental psychology and environmental politics.
