The Norma Elder Law Research Environment is the
honorable exception Bringing together writers from a
variety of legal disciplines and backgrounds, this timely
collection examines the key issues associated with an
ageing population in an innovative and thought-provoking manner.’

On Hunger
Science, Ethics and the Law
Laura Westra, University of Windsor, Canada
and University of Parma, Italy
Most of the existing literature on hunger and food does
not address the harm that current practices inflict on
people globally Laura Westra’s On Hunger focuses on
the interface between food and public health and on
the flawed regulations intended to protect us Food
not only represents nourishment for the body; it also
possesses other valuable aspects that are protected by
international legal instruments Westra argues for the
importance of effecting radical changes: to protect and
improve the present system of food production and distribution

Research Handbook on EU Health Law and Policy Edited by Tamara K Hervey, Calum Alasdair Young and

‘This important new book offers a clear and informative guide to EU health law and policy, but it also does much more than that The tensions at the heart of the EU’s engagement with health are tackled head-on, as are the implications of the Eurozone crisis and Brexit Through its 19 engaging and lively chapters, this is the best account to date of EU health law and policy’s uncomfortable position at the intersection between the promotion of free trade, on the one hand, and public health, on the other.’

Edited by Felicity Thomas, University of Exeter,

‘The movement of people and populations is intrinsic to
today’s globalised existence, with complex health and
wellbeing consequences for people on the move, for
host communities and for global health economies Yet
programmatic approaches to addressing the wellbeing
of migrants, although badly needed, remain poorly
developed in many parts of the world Through this
book Felicity Thomas successfully crosses disciplinary
boundaries to bring together an authoritative,
coordinated and comprehensive approach to what is
one of the major health issues of our time.’

Health Policy
Choice, Equality and Cost
David Reisman, University of Surrey, UK and
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
‘Too often health economics proceeds without serious
consideration of the concrete challenges of health
policy David Reisman’s new book does just the opposite:
it starts with those challenges and shows what the
economics of health care must be to address them
This makes the economics of health care inseparable
from the ethics of health care This book is highly
recommended for clear and sensible thinking about the economics of health policy.’

Cost–Benefit Analysis and Health
Care Evaluations, Second Edition
Robert J Brent, Fordham University, US
Acclaim for the first edition:
Cost–benefit analysis is the only method of economic
evaluation that can effectively indicate whether a health
care treatment or intervention is worthwhile In this
thoroughly updated and revised second edition, Robert
Brent expands the scope of the field by including the
latest concepts and applications throughout all regions
of the world This book attempts to strengthen the link
between cost–benefit analysis and the mainstream
health care evaluation field, which is dominated by non-economists The need to
build a bridge between the two is more important than ever before, as the general
understanding of cost–benefit analysis appears to have regressed

Moore provides insight on the contemporary role of

serious knowledge gap about coroners’ ancient role in

Chinmoy Sarkar and Chris Webster, University

well-being, and Chinmoy Sarkar, Chris Webster and
John Gallacher conceptualize the “urban health niche”
as an approach to public health and healthy-city
planning The book is of practical use for those involved
in public policy, public health and urban planning The

done by epidemiologists, urban planners, economists, and sociologists.’
