"Critical Issues in Global Health will open your eyes to the threats posed by disease, poverty, ignorance, and lack of communications to the populations of the world. Clear and unequivocal solutions are put forth by some of the world's leading health authorities." (O. Milton Gossett, retired chairman, Saatchi & Saatchi Advertising Worldwide) C. Everett Koop, MD, ScD, long gone from office, is the only surgeon general millions of Americans and others the world around are ever likely to remember by name. He is still with us, of course, corporeally, institutionally, professorially, digitally, and, now with two principal colleagues, editorially. Clarence E. Pearson, MPH, of the National Center for Health Education, and M. Roy Schwarz, MD, of the China Medical Board of New York, have joined him in organizing the thoughts of 75 authorities75 first choices, not a single second pick needed in a review of the world as they see it and as they hope and fear it will be in our new century. Throughout a foreword (by Jimmy Carter), an introduction (by Dr Koop), and 51 chapters, a long catalogue of "critical issues," many discussed from multiple perspectives, is set out for policy response. These issues might well be reworked, in clinical fashion, as a global-health problem list: 1. Demographic destabilization 2. Accelerating developmental disparities 3. Health-in-development strains 4. Health-in-prosperity strains 5. Persistent underattention to the vulnerabilities and capabilities of girls and women 6. Infrastructural inadequacy and inappropriateness 7. Deficiencies of cooperation, coordination, and governance 8. Facilitation of biomedical research 9. Facilitation of clinical practice 10. Microenvironmental problems 11. Environmental degradation 12. Demand for personally and socially harmful substances 13. Violence Critical Issues in Global Health is a good book. It will doubtless see immediate use in public health and public policy graduate programs. It will surely help many journalists and editorialists find ideas. And it will improve the consultations and testimonies of more than a few experts. It will then fade, as befitting a snapshot, however well composed. It will also surely someday be found again, valued as much for its intriguing misperceptions, whatever they prove to have been, as for its clearsightedness. Robert H. Sprinkle, MD, PhD, School of Public Affairs,University of Maryland Journal of the American Medical Association Vol. 286 No. 13, October 3, 2001 Books Journals, New Media This valuable book will doubtlessly see immediate use in public health and public policy graduate programs, and it will surely help many journalists, editorialists and experts.

Synopsis
This thoroughly updated compendium of essays written for this volume by international health experts describes the opportunities and hazards in improving the health of the world2s people. Included is the original and groundbreaking chapter by Harvard2s Jessica Stern on extremist terrorism as a global threat., Critical Issues in Global Health "The miracles of science could and should be shared equally in the world. There is a growing chasm between those of us who are rich, powerful, and healthy and those who are poor, weak, and suffering from preventable diseases. If we are to improve health, we must concentrate on existing disparities in opportunities, resources, education, and access to health programs. Only to the extent that we can eliminate these inequities will our dreams for global health in the twenty-first century be realized."-from the foreword by Jimmy Carter Critical Issues in Global Health is an outstanding compendium of knowledge and thought-from a distinguished panel of internationally renowned medical and public health experts-that offers insight into the most important health issues facing our world2s populations. The volume2s individual contributors represent a wide range of prestigious health organizations and institutions including the World Health Organization, National Academy of Sciences, Kellogg and Rockefeller Foundations, U.S. Centers for Disease Control, and the American Public Health Association. Edited by C. Everett Koop, Clarence E. Pearson, and M. Roy Schwarz, these never-before-published essays explore the future of international health and explain what will be required in order to provide adequate health and medical care worldwide, especially for underdeveloped countries. Comprehensive in scope, this impressive resource is divided into three major sections: Countries, Continents, and the World; The Organizational Landscape in Global Health; and Organizations, Management, Leadership, and Partnerships. In the opening essay, Gro Harlem Brundtland, the Secretary General of the World Health Organization, presents a dynamic global view of the world2s health. The chapters in this section also contain a wealth of informative essays on the major continents and regions of the world and include instructive health portraits of China, India, Russia, and the United States. Critical Issues in Global Health brings to light the world2s most compelling health issues-communicable and infectious diseases, tobacco control, and environmental health-and discusses what will be needed in the areas of research, health promotion, disease prevention, and financing to meet these urgent medical and health challenges. The final section of the book contains essays that highlight the best and most cost-effective methods for solving global health issues in the 21st century. For leaders in government, business, and nonprofit organizations, the contributors suggest specific follow-up actions that will go a long way to ensure the good health of tomorrow2s world A Compendium of thought on the state and future of the world2s health "We have recognized the shrinking of this planet in other walks of life but now the shrinking of the world for the benefit of health is something different and something eagerly anticipated . . . . The contents of this book will find different niches among different readers to be sure, but all readers will benefit from the global perspective they will be able to synthesize from this remarkable and diverse group of experts."-from the introduction by C. Everett Koop Read what the most renowned international medical and public health experts say about the state of the world2s health and what is in store for the future. Mohammad N. Akhter Bruce Alberts Richard Alderslade John P. Allegrante George A. O. Alleyene Fernando Alvarez del Rio Rodrigo Ares de Parga Jo E. Asvall Jeremiah A. Barondess Paul Batalden Seth F.
