"A foundational, field-defining book that is the first to bring together two parallel and occasionally intersecting disciplines - the environmental and medical humanities - this handbook reveals our ecological predicament as a simultaneous threat to human health. Featuring contributions from a wide range of these interdisciplinary fields it covers global contexts including, but not limited to, North America, India, the UK, Africa, Latin America, South Asia, Turkey and East Asia. In so doing, it touches on issues and concepts such as narrative medicine, ecoprecarity, toxicity, mental health, and contaminated environments from a variety of disciplinary perspective, including literary studies, environmental ethics/philosophy, cultural history and sociology. Showcasing a broad variety of debates, approaches and methodologies, this book looks not only at where research currently is at the intersection of these two fields, but also at where it is going."--
