NEW PUBLICATION: First nations knowledge on health

The First Knowledges series offers an introduction to Indigenous knowledges; the eighth book in the series, by Shawana Andrews, Sandra Eades and Fiona Stanley and edited by Margo Ngawa Neale, focuses on health. First Knowledges Health: Spirit, Country and Culture shows once again how much we can learn from the deeper past about defining and preserving health, the crucial role played by the community, and how both require an environmental approach.

Just looking at the headline "Preindustrial Public Health" I naturally assumed it was about the US until I realised that they were industrialised - sort of anyway.
