Social Determinants of Health by Mg Marmot
This groundbreaking book, which brings together information in a singular way, provides an authoritative overview of the social and economic factors which are seen as the most powerful determinants of population health in modern societies. Written to link closely with the WHO Centre for Urban Health initiative on social determinants of health, it will provide the scientific justification for isolating different aspects of social and economic life as the primary determinants of health. Providing the background to ten 'key messages' which form the basis of the WHO campaign, the book will have a broad audience amongst public health professionals, health promotion specialists and health policy makers.
"This volume should be relevant to anyone interested in health determinants, given its clear organization and concise writing.. Marmot and Wilkinson have made a timely addition to the maturing field of health and health policy research." Social Science and Medicine 55 (2002)
