- Summary
- "This volume limits its review of research to studies that have interfaced geotechniques (spatial analysis, geographical information systems, and remote sensing) with health and disease topics. Although two of the editors and several of the contributing authors are medical geographers, studies summarized in this volume emanate not only from medical geography, but also from biostatistics, environmental health, epidemiology, health services research, medical entomology, public health, and other related disciplines."--Introduction.
