<P>The health challenges facing people around the world today are diverse, yet we all share common needs for physical, psychological, and social well-being. It is these factors that drive the study and mission of global health. This book serves as a broad introduction to the field of global health. Volume 1 includes a collection of accessibly written entries covering a wide variety of integral topics in this multidisciplinary subject. Readers will discover how various factors interact with one another to form a complex and multilayered picture of health around the world. Volume 2 features profiles of every country on Earth, detailing each nation's unique health landscape and pressing health concerns. These profiles, which follow a standardized format, allow readers to compare and contrast multiple countries and regions. This set also includes a collection of 10 in-depth interviews with researchers and activists working to improve health around the globe, offering readers a look at how abstract concepts and principles are applied to foster real-world change.</P>
