Recensione:

Obregon and Waisbord have assembled an impressively diverse collection of perspectives.  This book will challenge the notions and deepen the understanding of health communication of both the aspiring student and the seasoned practitioner.

The Handbook of Global Health Communication represents an enormous step forward in bringing health communication fully into the field of implementation science.  Its insights into the practice of health communication and its advances in theory are invaluable for any serious reader of health, communication, and development in the 21st century.
