AGEING AND GERONTOLOGY, HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE | 3 Welcome As the NHS and other health systems around the world respond to a global pandemic and we also deal with an ageing population which needs increasing levels of health and social care, it is more important than ever before that we raise awareness of the challenges we face and try to find solutions. We have a growing list in gerontology, public health and social care with a range of textbooks, monographs and policy- focused books that all aim to push forward the boundaries of teaching, research, theory, policy and practice. We are currently seeking to publish broad research that fills a clear gap in the current literature, extending knowledge and reframing perspectives. If you have an idea for a new book that fits with our approach, please contact our editor Laura Vickers-Rendall laura.vickers@bristol.ac.uk

This accessible yet authoritative book dispels this myth of COVID-19 as an ‘equal opportunity’ disease, by showing how the pandemic is a syndemic of disease and inequality. Drawing on international data and accounts, it argues that the pandemic is unequal in three ways: it has killed unequally, been experienced unequally and will impoverish unequally. These inequalities are a political choice: with governments effectively choosing who lives and who dies, we need to learn from COVID-19 quickly to prevent growing inequality and to reduce health inequalities in the future. COVID-19 is an unequal pandemic.
