- The link between modern lifestyles and increasing levels of chronic heart disease, obesity, stress and poor mental health is a concern across the world. The cost of dealing with these conditions places a large burden on national public health budgets so that policymakers are increasingly looking at prevention as a cost-effective alternative to medical treatment. Attention is turning towards interactions between the environment and lifestyles. Exploring the relationships between health, natural environments in general, and forests in particular, this groundbreaking book is the outcome of the European Union’s COST Action E39 ‘Forests, Trees and Human Health and Wellbeing’, and draws together work carried out over four years by scientists from 25 countries working in the fields of forestry, health, environment and social sciences. While the focus is primarily on health priorities defined within Europe, this volume explicitly draws also on research from North America and elsewhere and will have relevance worldwide. A state-of-the-art analysis of the global research on the topic of forests and human health, a key contribution of the book is its synthesis of material across both disciplines and nations, providing a vital reference for researchers in forestry, health, natural resource management and environmental policy. Currently the only unified body of work on this topic, the book will also be an important tool for those working in both health and environment policy and practice.

Changing Perspectives on Physical Education in Sweden : Implementing Dimensions of Public Health and Sustainable Development
- 2014. - 1

Ingår i: Physical Education and Health. - Urbana, Illinois, USA : Sagamore Publishing. - 9781571677020 ; , s. 463-475

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Health was introduced as part of physical education (PE) in Sweden in 1994. This chapter focuses on both transformational processes and the lack thereof in PE and in physical education teacher education (PETE) in Sweden with the introduction of "health." Prior to that PE focused entirely on different bodily movements for about 170 years, and the demanded changeover has been markedly lagging. At the same time, scientific development within the field of physical activity and health has been strong during the past two decades. Presently, the PETE at The Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences, GIH in Stockholm, Sweden, is undergoing changes with the aim of creating a merger of perspectives from old, mainly sports-oriented, traditions in PE with newer individual and population health-related perspectives to a wider perspective of physical activity. These new perspectives are framed within diverse dimensions of the environment: for example, how the physical environment affects levels of physical activity and well-being and the need for sustainable development. The rationale for the latter perspective is that the contexts of bodily movement can affect the environment both positively and negatively and are thereby closely linked to both individual and public health. The transformational process described is still in an early state, and clearly future developmental steps are needed, some of which are described in the final section.

Bokkapitel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Kapitlet beskriver hur Sveriges mest nyttjade grönområde, nationalstadsparken i Stockholm och Solna (Ulriksdal, Haga-Brunnsviken och Norra samt Södra Djurgården), växte fram dels genom ett förändrat markutnyttjande mellan 1500- och 1700-talen i form av en barockträdgård, jaktparker och engelska parker, dels genom en politisk process som ledde fram till en ny lagstiftning och därmed nationalstadsparkens bildande 1995. Natur- och kulturvärden knutna till detta landskap beskrivs. De kompletteras med beskrivningar av det inre skärgårdslandskapet från Norra Djurgården via Lilla och Stora Värtan och dess angränsade områden till och med Bogesundslandet. Det senare områdets historia, värden och friluftskvaliteer kompletterar nationalstadsparkens, och bidrar till ett sammantaget tätortsnära friluftslandskap med osedvanliga kvalitéer.
