### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Contains what it says.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just like brand new

I rented the textbook for a semester, not going to need it after that. It’s practically brand new! Always use Amazon for my rentals, great price and quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book, yet bad layout in Kindle
*by Y***I on January 12, 2018*

I found this book very informative on the current issues of global health. You will have the general idea of what is going on throughout the world, although not in depth, as the book presents a lot of relevant examples. The only drawback is the layout in Kindle, so I suggest getting the printed version.
