商品描述
What is health? What does health mean to people? How do we make sense of health and experience it?
There are no simple answers to these questions. Health is complex, subjective and varied. Drawing on theory, research and contemporary debates, Ruth Cross explores the nature of health in depth and challenges our thinking about it. Moving beyond taken-for-granted assumptions, she gives the meaning of 'health' its due attention, exploring everyday perspectives as well as 'expert' medical, academic and policy understandings and approaches. In doing so, the book brings together different knowledge and expertise on health, also considering the inextricable links between human and planetary health.
This book is important for all those working in the health field, or training to do so, seeking a broad understanding about health and all its complexity.

什麼是健康？健康對人們意味著什麼？我們如何理解健康並體驗它？
這些問題沒有簡單的答案。健康是複雜的、主觀的且多樣化的。Ruth Cross 透過理論、研究和當代辯論深入探討健康的本質，並挑戰我們對健康的思考。超越理所當然的假設，她給予「健康」這個詞應有的重視，探索日常觀點以及「專家」的醫學、學術和政策理解與方法。在此過程中，本書匯集了關於健康的不同知識和專業，並考慮到人類健康與地球健康之間不可分割的聯繫。
這本書對所有在健康領域工作或正在接受相關訓練的人來說都很重要，旨在尋求對健康及其所有複雜性的廣泛理解。
