From the reviews:
"This work on global health addresses what may be considered the midlevel issues ... . The editors can be commended for inviting a truly nationally diverse group of authors ... who identify the successes, challenges, and next steps in their areas of expertise in global health. ... The book will challenge both novice and expert in their thinking about global health and the methods to achieve results." (Health Promotion Practice, January 2008)
