“King presents fresh new ways of thinking about the ways in which political and economic environments shape human health, and his in-depth examples, born from years in the field and a deep understanding of the local, social, and political environments he studies, sheds light on how these broad processes shape both health vulnerability as well as public health responses to these health threats.”
