Health Geographies explores critical approaches to health and biomedicine from geographical perspectives while engaging with social theory and issues of difference and inequality. It extends the focus of an already critically-oriented field to include topics such as biosecurity and bioprospecting, health and medical tourism, complexity theory, and the evaluation of public health interventions.

Key topics in health geography are introduced through clear and engaging writing and developed through wide-ranging examples drawn from the authors' areas of geographical interest. A wide range of theoretical ideas and emerging themes in health and healthcare are covered, including such cutting-edge issues as biological citizenship and global health. An extensive series of boxed material on important theoretical concepts, case studies and key authors, as well as discussion questions and suggested readings further enhance clarity.
