Description

Book Synopsis
Using the theoretical framework of Singerâs Syndemics, Christensen explores how aging bodies are more vulnerable to increased environmental toxins, which is further exacerbated by climate fluctuations. A central question is: how do we value our environment, our elders, and make decisions about well-being throughout the life course?

Trade Review
This book offers a thoughtful exploration of how social and ecological conditions affect health and can amplify mortality, especially for the elderly. It engagingly illustrates how applied anthropology can make important connections in the wake of anthropogenic climate change – and the situations of vulnerability they create – to offer solutions at multiple levels. -- Heide Castaneda, Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of South Florida
