Critics Review
” Health in the Anthropocene is a very well-researched, well-written work of great insight, foresight and ambition in relation to the ecological threats we face, with diverse analytic and practical contributions from a range of respected scholars.”

A thought-provoking read, it represents a major contribution to moving problem-recognition to solution-finding, and a milestone in this literature.”
