{"product_id":"9780335234592","title":"Understanding Health Inequalities","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Thoroughly updated and revised, this new edition of \u003c\/i\u003eUnderstanding Health Inequalities\u003ci\u003e, edited by Hilary Graham, remains a welcome and timely contribution. Replete with thoughtful essays on health inequities analyzed in relation to societal structure, social position and geography ... the volume provides important insights into how class, racial\/ethnic, gender, and spatial health inequities are produced - and how they can be rectified. The world economic crisis launched by the implosion of unregulated financial markets in the fall of 2008 only serves to underscore the volume's central conclusion: that government regulation and intervention, premised on a commitment to equity, is essential for tackling health inequalities. Health professionals, students, and any and all working for healthy and sustainable ways of living will benefit from this collection.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNancy Krieger, Harvard School of Public Health, USA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Health Inequalities second edition\u003c\/i\u003e provides an accessible and engaging exploration of why the opportunity to live a long and healthy life remains profoundly unequal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHilary Graham and her contributors outline the enduring link between people’s socioeconomic circumstances and their health and tackle questions at the forefront of research and policy on health inequalities.
