| Publisher Description: This is a foundational, field-defining book that brings together two parallel and occasionally intersecting disciplines - the environmental and medical humanities - and reveals our ecological predicament as a simultaneous threat to human health. Featuring contributions from a wide variety of these exciting, interdisciplinary fields, it covers global contexts including, but not limited to, North America, India, the UK, Africa, Latin America, South Asia, Turkey and East Asia. In so doing, it touches on issues and concepts such as narrative medicine, ecoprecarity, toxicity, mental health, and contaminated environments from a variety of disciplinary perspective, including literary studies, environmental ethics/philosophy, cultural history and sociology. |
