'Sick Societies effectively articulates the need for considerably greater investment in research to indentify the levers for prevention if we are to reverse the upsurge in chronic diseases.' - Science, January 2013, From health system financing to the financialization of the global economy, there is scarcely a dimension of our chronic disease pandemic that this book leaves unexplored . . . Knowing their social, economic and political vectors of risk is the important first step public health practitioners and advocates must take to avoid the trap of a simplistic and victimizing health behaviourism. There is no better or more timely a text than this one from which to take that step., Sick Societies is a highly ambitious and accessible book that succeeds in bringing together key material to make the case for accelerated action to address the global chronic disease epidemic. I would highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in chronic disease, and as a key text for courses in global health and public health., This is a powerful, important and ultimately subversive book. It situates the origins and response to the global epidemic of chronic (noncommunicable) diseases as issues of social justice. This book is a must- read for all engaged with chronic diseases, especially, for people not yet engaged whether they be health professionals, development experts or concerned citizens., This is a powerful, important and ultimately subversive book. It situates the origins and response to the global epidemic of chronic (noncommunicable) diseases as issues of social justice. It goes further by proposing concrete ways in which we can all contribute to a global social movement to prevent and treat chronic diseases. This book is a must read for all engaged with chronic diseases, especially, for people not yet engaged whether they be health professionals, developmentexperts or concerned citizens., From health system financing to the financialization of the global economy, there is scarcely a dimension of our chronic disease pandemic that this book leaves unexplored. There is no better or more timely a text than this one from which to take that step., The publication is timely given the UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs in September 2011 and it underlines the need for rapid strengthening of national and international actions on this agenda. It presents a cogent case on the importance of addressing the societal determinants of chronic disease in particular. Sick Societies is a highly ambitious and accessible book that succeeds in bringing together key material to make the case for accelerated action to address the global chronicdisease epidemic. I would highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in chronic disease, especially to those working in this field, and as a key text for courses in global health and public health., The book is a tour de force! Stuckler and Siegel's book expertly pulls together the essential data and ideas needed to combat chronic diseases. It will be a mandatory reader for courses in global health. It is the book Geoffrey Rose would have written if he were still around., Stuckler and Siegel's book expertly pulls together the essential data and ideas needed to combat chronic diseases. It will be a mandatory reader for courses in global health., This is a fascinating sociological and political view of the structure of the food and health industries in the modern world and how they are responsible for the epidemic we are seeing of obesity and its associated diseases. Buy this book, read it and then lend it to your friends and colleagues., With one out of every three deaths in the world now being caused by four types of chronic disease-heart disease, respiratory disease, common cancers, and type 2 diabetes-what path should public health practitioners take to stem the rising human and financial cost of non-communicable diseases? David Stuckler and Karen Siegel have edited a new data-driven tome that addresses this question better than any text I've seen to date-providing essential reading both for epidemiologists andpublic health campaigners looking for data and guidance in their movements for healthier foods, cleaner air, and access to essential medicines and primary care medical homes., "Ultimately, the authors clearly argue that stemming epidemic chronic diseases, both regionally and globally, will require population- wide measures and prevention. That Sick Societies effectively articulates the need for considerably greater investment (by both governments and industry) in research to identify the levers for prevention if we are to reverse the upsurge in chronic diseases." -- Linda P. Fried, SCIENCE, This is a fascinating sociological and political view of the structure of the food and health industries in the modern world and how they are responsible for the epidemic we are seeing of obesity and its associated diseases.

Synopsis
Chronic diseases-heart disease, diabetes, lung disease, and common cancers-claim more than one out of every two lives worldwide. Within the next few decades their toll will rise, most greatly in developing countries. Yet this rapid growth of chronic diseases is not being met with a proportionate global response. Left unaddressed, they pose a major threat to social and economic development. This book is the first to synthesize the growing evidence-base surrounding chronic disease, comprehensively addressing the prevention and control of chronic diseases from epidemiologic, economic, prevention/management, and political economy perspectives. Sick Societies is written in five main parts. The first three chapters explore the causes and consequences of chronic diseases on a global level. Chapter four identifi es different approaches to preventing and managing chronic diseases, while chapters five and six consider the power and politics in global health that have stymied an effective response to chronic disease. In chapter seven, the themes from the first three parts come into focus through a series of invited contributions from leading public health experts. The final chapter sets out a model of pragmatic and imaginative solidarity, wherein the struggles of the rich and poor to survive are united by a common cause and shared goals., Chronic diseases are the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, and are expected to increase over the coming years with the ageing population and improved medical treatments that reduce mortality but cause the sufferer to live with a long-term illness. This book provides the first comprehensive review of the topic., Chronic diseases are the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Within the next few decades, the burden of chronic disease will more than triple, with the greatest rises occurring in developing countries. However, the rapid growth of chronic diseases is not being met with a proportionate increase in global attention, with global health traditionally focusing on infectious disease and maternal and child health. This book is the first to synthesise the growing evidence-base surrounding the chronic disease, comprehensively addressing the prevention and control of chronic diseases from epidemiologic, economic, prevention/management, and governance perspectives. Sick Societies is written in five main parts; the first part of the book aims to understand the causes and consequences of chronic diseases on a global level. The second part of the book identifies approaches for preventing and managing chronic diseases while the third part of the book considers the power and politics in global health that have stymied an effective response to chronic disease. In the fourth part of the book the themes from the first three parts come into focus through a series of invited contributions from leading public health experts. The final part of the book sets out a model of pragmatic and imaginative solidarity, wherein the struggles of the rich and poor to survive are united by a common cause and shared goals. Features Examines the prevention and control of chronic diseases from epidemiologic, economic, prevention/management, and governance perspectives. Covers both the developing and the developed world, looking at the causes and consequences of chronic diseases in the developed world, and the successes and failures of attempts to control them, as a model for the trends and prospects for prevention in the developing world. Allows a comparative analysis that is less accessible to texts focusing on single countries of regions., Chronic diseases are the leading causes of death and disability worldwide.
