Examining the impact of climate change on emerging infectious diseases and pandemics, epidemiologists and other biomedical specialists concentrate especially on lessons learnt from previous epidemics and pandemics, significant drivers of disease emergence, climate-sensitive diseases, climate vulnerability in cities and the health sector, governance and adaptive strategies, and perspectives of public health officials. The information should be accessible to general readers as well as those with a background in medicine, biology, or environmental science.

Chapters are clearly organized and provide solid background and thorough analysis. Several essays in this volume present case studies, such as "Rift Valley Fever and the Changing Environment: A Case Study in East Africa." Many also offer definitions, summaries, tables, and maps. End pages compile each chapter’s references, offer brief contributor biographies, and include an index. This timely volume would be very useful for medical professionals, policy-makers, environmentalists, researchers and many others. Recommended for academic libraries.
