Welch, Jr., SUNY Distinguished Service Professor, University at Buffalo "Global Health in the 21st century: The Globalization of Disease and Wellness is an outstanding, comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to global health.

Diamond, Northwestern University and President of World Resources Chicago "Students, academics, and practitioners will truly enjoy Global Health in the 21st Century. It is a superbly written text that takes an interdisciplinary, cross-national approach to global health issues." --Laura L. Janik, University of Northern Iowa "An outstanding introductory text for those studying and interested in global health, whether they have a health background or not...written in a fluid and engaging style, it includes some personal examples--including 'Under the Microscope' special features--that help to ground the work and make it come alive.
