Editorial Review:
Environmental Health: From Global to Local offers students a comprehensive introduction to environmental health. It provides an overview of methods and paradigms used in this exciting field, ranging from ecology to epidemiology, from toxicology to environmental psychology, from genetics to ethics to religion. The authors survey the major issues in contemporary environmental health, ranging from global issues such as climate change and war to regional issues such as air, water, transportation, and energy to local issues such as food safety, pest control, and occupational health. The book includes a strong focus on the real-world practice of environmental public health, offering chapters on such applied topics as risk assessment, risk communication, health services, regulations, and legal remedies. While Environmental Health is grounded in the U.S. experience, it emphasizes global issues and perspectives on such topics as economic development, population, urbanization, and sanitation.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good survey text
With chapters ranging from 20-60 pages and a judicious use of figures and photographs, each section provides an appropriate amount of material for an overview of the topic presented. I would recommend this text as an excellent starting point for further investigations into EOH.
Rating:  - Great overall reference!
I was required to buy this as a textbook for a class that I am taking, but I am glad I bought it. It is an easy read and a well-rounded reference for a gamut of environmental health issues and topics. I would recommend this as a textbook for the beginning environmental scientist to build upon as well as a good reference book for the occasional environmentalist.
Rating: - I got it for school.
This was a good book but I received it somewhat late from amazon.
