| Sumario: | The text focuses on the relationship between environmental health, social justice, and public policies in different contexts. The book *Environmental Health: Foundations for Public Health* highlights the influence of environmental and social factors, such as structural racism, on public health inequities, integrating case studies and educational resources. On the other hand, *Decolonizing Medicine* analyzes medicine in Bolivia from a decolonial perspective, showing the challenges in integrating indigenous and biomedical knowledge despite state reforms. Finally, an article on environmental quality and global health addresses the "One Health" paradigm, which links environmental degradation with the emergence of infectious diseases, exemplified by the relationship between air pollution and the COVID-19 pandemic. El texto se centra en la relación entre salud ambiental, justicia social y políticas públicas en distintos contextos. El libro *Environmental Health: Foundations for Public Health* destaca la influencia de factores ambientales y sociales, como el racismo estructural, en las inequidades de salud pública, integrando estudios de caso y recursos pedagógicos. Por otro lado, *Decolonizing Medicine* analiza la medicina en Bolivia desde una perspectiva decolonial, mostrando los desafíos en la integración de saberes indígenas y biomédicos pese a las reformas estatales. Finalmente, un artículo sobre calidad ambiental y salud global aborda el paradigma «Una Salud», que vincula la degradación ambiental con la aparición de enfermedades infecciosas, ejemplificado por la relación entre contaminación atmosférica y la pandemia de COVID-19. |
