Worldmark Global Health and Medicine
Issues covers current health and
medicine issues that have global impact,
as well as organizations and groups that
address these issues. This two-volume set
highlights in each entry specific examples
to show the unique scope of each issue
regionally or worldwide. Each entry has
standard subheadings (overview,
historical background, impacts and issues,
future implications), and many entries
have primary sources and sidebars that
add more context to the entries. This set
is designed to give high school students
and researchers a resource to help
conceptualize and analyze the central
issues that surround the basic need for
adequate health care. Ninety topics—
such as alternative and cultural medicine,
global health initiatives, and zoonotic
diseases—meet the needs of global
studies courses.
