Sommario/riassunto

""[Reid] develops an approach to globalization and health that goes                beyond simplistic dichotomies -- such as the puritanism of the United States in                contrast with the more libertine cultures of other countries -- and he also eschews                the equally simplistic view that the world is becoming homogenized."" -- David                J. Hess,



Rensselaer Polytechnic InstituteA tangible aspect of                living, working, and traveling in the 21st century is the experience of moving                between smoke-filled and smoke-free environments
