Customer Reviews: A rare focus on the social and economic context October 23, 2002 9 out of 10 found this review helpful This is the only book-length exploration of the social and economic context of the the HIV/AIDS epidemics. What comes through is that the authors are not journalists who dashed off a book on AIDS, but longtime researchers, with world-ranging experience. pWHile well documented, it is readable. The next college level course I teach on contemporary issues will surely include this as required reading. My students will thank me for it. The best comprehensive treatment of HIV/AIDS September 6, 2002 7 out of 7 found this review helpful Tony Barnett and Alan Whieside have done a fantastic job of placing the issue of HIV/AIDS within a comprehensive context. It is easy to read, well researched, thoughtful in it's analysis, and comprehensive - that is, it places the pandemic amidst the global forces that are affecting it and which must be understood if we're to successfully turn the tide. I am recommending it to many of my colleagues! It is the best book I have read to-date on the most challenging crisis facing the human family.
