Edited by George Luber  associate director for climate change at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  and Jay Lemery  associate professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and section chief of Wilderness and Environmental Medicine in the Department of Emergency Medicine  and including chapters written by luminaries in the field  this landmark book provides a comprehensive introduction to climate change and health. Students will learn about climate changes direct effect on health  including extreme weather events  altered and degraded ecosystems  and threats to human security and welfare. Discussions on mitigation and adaptation strategies  including disease surveillance  communications  and greening health care  as well as a primer on the core concepts of climate change science are presented. Each chapter has a specific section on the clinical correlations of the impact of climate change on health. Informative illustrations depict increasing aeroallergens  shifting vector habitats  emergent risks  and more. Visual teaching materials broken down by chapter (including PowerPoint lecture slides) are available for instructors. This book shows how human health will be and already has been  affected and how health care practitioners need to start preparing. Understand the science behind climate change and climate variability Learn how the availability of food and clean water will affect public health Consider the diseases that will surge as vector populations swell Discover mitigation strategies targeted toward the health care community Understanding how climate change affects human rights and how international institutions are responding  Increased temperatures bring algal blooms that threaten clean water. Degraded air quality brings allergies  asthma  and respiratory diseases. Ground pollutants lower the nutritional value of food crops. Its clear that climate change is very much a public health concern  and Global Climate Change and Human Health helps those preparing to be on the front lines of health care.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651681247285,"sku":"ByrdShop_1118505573","price":140.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781118505571.jpg?v=1781837366","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/global-climate-change-and-human-health-from-science-to-practice-9781118505571","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
