An invaluable desk reference for busy public health practitioners,

practice. It offers definitions, discussion, and an occasional
brief commentary on the relevance of each term to people and their
health. This volume is a trusted resource for answers to questions
that arise in the course of public health practice, whether in the
office or in the field, in interactions with the public or with the
media.
The book contains cross-referenced definitions and discussions of
related terms and concepts. For easy reference, users will find
similarly worked definitions and discussions of important related
concepts listed under each of the commonly used keywords. A variety
of website links make it easy to find further information at the
users fingertips. Covering all aspects of public health, this book
serves as both a quick and handy reference tool and a vehicle for
more leisurely browsing.
