Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product Description Health inequalities are the most important inequalities of all. In the US and the UK these inequalities have now reached an extent not seen for over a century. Most people's health is much better now than then, but the gaps in life expectancy between regions, between cities, and between neighbourhoods within cities now surpass the worst measures over the last hundred years. In almost all other affluent countries, inequalities in health are lower and people live longer. In his new book, academic and writer Danny Dorling describes the current extent of inequalities in health as the scandal of our times. He provides nine new chapters and updates a wide selection of his highly influential writings on health, including internationalpeer reviewed studies, annotated lectures, newspaper articles, and interview transcripts, to create an accessible collection that is both contemporary and authoritative. As a whole the book shows conclusively that inequalities in health are the scandal of our times in the most unequal of rich nations and calls for immediate action to reduce these inequalities in the near future. Review Robust collection. . . . The real scandal of our times, Dorling concludes, is not that health inequalities have widened but that they persist in spite of improvements in knowledge and technology that could, but do not, benefit all. Health AffairsThe breadth and depth of scholarship displayed in this book is staggeringbut what impresses just as much is how engagingly Danny Dorling communicates the important truths about the scandal of our times. Kate Pickett, Professor of Epidemiology, University of York and coauthor of The'Professor Dorling is a meticulous scholar who talks personally and directly to the reader rather than to other academics, and with a powerful message: willful ignorance of the social causes of illness and death is taking us back to Victorian levels of inequality.' Sebastian Kraemer, Tavistock Clinic London and Whittington Hospital London'Forensic, persuasive, original, impassioned, readable and occasionally even optimistic, Danny Dorling frames inequality in such a way as to demand action. His data and analysis are invaluable ammunition.' Zoe Williams, The Guardian About the Author Danny Dorling is Professor for the Public Understanding of Social Science at the University of Sheffield.
