Yawei Zheng, editor
Sage Publications (January 9, 2008)
Review:
"The impact of health issues is complex, vast, and diverse-from the health effects of global warming to new strains of infectious diseases. Encompassing four volumes and containing more than 1200 articles, this comprehensive, interdisciplinary A-to-Z encyclopedia examines nearly 20 topics ranging from children's, men's, and women's health to diseases, procedures and therapies, and research. Coverage is global: the set gives various countries' health statuses and compares the mortality rates of infectious and noncommunicable diseases in both developing and developed countries. Additionally, there are biographies of major doctors and researchers; profiles of medical institutions, organizations, and corporations; descriptions of drugs and operations; and articles on national health policies....BOTTOM LINE A useful, one-stop reference for health professionals and the general population alike that speaks to important changes and issues in global health; a foundation of knowledge essential for any library."
