Aids in the Twenty-First Century : Disease and Globalization

In this clearly written and informative book, Barnett and Whiteside-experts in the field for over fifteen years-argue that it is vital not only to look at AIDS in terms of prevention and treatment, but also to consider consequences which affect house-holds, communities, companies, governments, and countries. This is a major contribution toward understanding the global public health crisis, as well as the relationship between poverty, inequality, and infectious diseases.
