The State of Health Atlas Highly Commended By The British Medical Association Book Competition

The State of Health Atlas, by Diarmuid O'Donovan, has been Highly Commended in the Public Health category of the 2008 British Medical Association (BMA) Medical Book Awards. The State of Health Atlas provides a portrait of health and disease across the world, and shows how political, economic, social and environmental forces affect the entire spectrum of health—from general well-being to cancer, diabetes, mental health, violence, and HIV/AIDS. Colorful maps and graphs consolidate mountains of research data, making global health statistics and public health challenges like maternal health, climate change, and malnutrition accessible at a glance.
