`At last! A tour de force on cities and health by someone who knows that geography matters. This is a groundbreaking text, preoccupied as much with health and well-being as with death, disease and despair. It is concerned with who wins and who loses from the social and spatial patterning of risk… Combining breadth of coverage with depth of analysis, Health and Inequality provides an intricate map of harmful spaces and healing places, together with some guidelines on how to get from one to the other' - Professor Susan Smith, Ogilvie Professor of Geography, University of Edinburgh

I am unable to review this title as my copy never arrived.

An interesting approach to health inequalities and focussing on geographical perspectives is worth doing. The text provides some good insights into the geography of health but I felt the book text heavy for a student text. More illustrations would have been helpful. e.g I was surprised to only see 3 maps in a text with a geographical focus given the huge development of use of mapping tools within public health intelligence in the UK. There was also scope to explore local health inequalities more fully and to look at some of the more recent work on geodemographic segmentation.

An excellent textbook, explaining in a straightforward way the relationships between humans and their environment, both social as well as physical.

A very useful supplementary text for Health & social Geography

Professor Clive Sabel

After meeting Professor Curtis once at a conference, I find myself becoming more and more familiar with her work. I was recently asked to work on a “Population, Health and Place” course, and began to explore different texts which might be suitable. As a social gerontologist, I find the geography of health extremely interesting, and thanks to Professor Curtis’ book, I now also find it (more) easy to comprehend and discuss with my students.
