An academic and a physician activist offer a theory of human and planetary health as a matter of structural social justice, exploring the hidden relationships between our "inflamed" biological systems and corrupt political and economic systems.
What The Reviewers Say
Comprehensive in scope.
... impeccably researched.
... [a] well-written, compelling book.
As they explore the many aspects of inflammation, Marya and Patel use the body as a useful analogy, given its immune, circulatory, digestive, respiratory, reproductive, endocrine, and nervous systems.
