"Schneider and Lilienfeld have provided a volume that is sorely
needed for all students of public health. The articles included are
an excellent sampling of the classic studies and detail the
development and evolution of public health."-Manning Feinleib,
professor of epidemiology, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public
Health "A valuable book for the rapidly growing number of students
in graduate and undergraduate schools and programs of public
health. The editors are to be commended for their text selection
and insightful comments that help frame the material."-Bernard
Goldstein, former dean, University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of
Public Health Public health as a discipline grew out of traditional
Western medicine but expanded to include interests in social
policy, hygiene, epidemiology, infectious disease, sanitation, and
health education. This book, the first of a two-volume set, is a
collection of important and representative historical texts that
serve to trace and to illuminate the development of conceptions,
policies, and treatments in public health from the dawn of Western
civilization through the Progressive Era of the early twentieth
century. The editors provide annotated readings and biographical
details to punctuate the historical timeline and to provide
students with insights into the progression of ideas, initiatives,
and reforms in the field. From Hippocrates and John Graunt in the
early period, to John Snow and Florence Nightingale during the
nineteenth-century sanitary reform movement, to Upton Sinclair and
Margaret Sanger in the Progressive Era, readers follow the
identification, evolution, and implementation of public health
concepts as they came together under one discipline. Dona
Schneider, Ph.D., M.P.H., is a professor and the director of
Undergraduate Programs at the Edward J. Bloustein School of
Planning and Public Policy, Rutgers University. David E.
Lilienfeld, M.D., M.P.H., is senior director for product safety at
