Good book, yet bad layout in Kindle
I found this book very informative on the current issues of global health. You will have the general idea of what is going on throughout the world, although not in depth, as the book presents a lot of relevant examples. The only drawback is the layout in Kindle, so I suggest getting the printed version.

I am satisfied!!
I bought the textbook for my class. Packaging and shipping of the book was great! The corners of the textbook are a bit bent but this didn't distract me from using it for my studies and reading assignments.

text book
It is a good text book. It provides an overview of the major issues in public health, that we are dealing with on a global level. It is a little dry reading... but it is a text book
