<br/><br/> "This book aims to be comprehensive of the key connections between environment and public health by addressing the core curriculum of multi-disciplinary areas --as urban design, energy, housing, and economy-- as well as in the health system itself. It emphasizes the social factors that have brought the global environment to its current state including climate change, growing diseases incidence, demographic displacements, and increases in urban population. It also includes relevant tools and indicators that can help the reader understand the impact of individual and collective actions: hoping to encourage pro-active behavior that would lead to near-by solutions"
