Edited by Susannah H. Mayhew, Department of Global Health and Development, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and Michael Hammer, School of Social, Political and Global Studies, Keele University, UK

‘This book is a refreshing addition to the steady stream of publications on the Sustainable Development Goals. The editors describe the book as offering a “hopeful vision”; that indeed it does, providing lessons from history, policy and practice in what can work to enhance health and well-being in the midst of a volatile and insecure world.’
