There is increasing understanding that climate change will have profound, mostly harmful effects, on human health. In this authoritative book, international experts examine long-recognized areas of health concern for populations vulnerable to climate change, describing effects that are both direct, such as heat waves, and indirect, such as via vector-borne diseases. Set in a broad international, economic, political and environmental context, this unique book expands these issues by reviving and championing a third ('tertiary') category of longer term impacts on global health: famine, population dislocation, conflict and collapse. This edition has an expanded foundation, with new chapters discussing nuclear war, population and limits to growth, among others. This lively yet scholarly resource explores all these issues, finishing with a practical discussion of avenues to reform. As Mary Robinson, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, states in the foreword: 'Climate change interacts with many undesirable aspects of human behaviour, including inequality, racism and other manifestations of injustice. Climate change policies, as practised by most countries in the global North, not only interact with these long-standing forms of injustice, but exemplify a new form, of startling magnitude.' The book is dedicated to Tony McMichael, Will Steffen and Maurice King. This book will be invaluable for students, post-graduates, researchers and policy-makers in public health, climate change and medicine.

Living in a small village nearby the Central Mountain Range, where people and cars always pass by in a hurry, Garunrun has no permanent property. He regards this small village as a place for shelter, a place that has long been forgotten by the era. He would rather stay at this village than to confront his abruptness. In addition, he participates in all kinds of village events and keeps in touch with the outside world through writing letters and articles. These letters are not simply letters, they are always longer than the Kararan River nearby the village. These letters describe exactly himself, the times he has been through, the love, and the addictive alcohol he cannot get rid of.The proceeding time is not detainable. Write it down and send these letters to the once reckless younger self. Such an old-fashion way fits well with this aging old man, who no longer can bear with loneliness.
