"Public Health for the 21st Century" is a comprehensive
consideration of the emerging challenges for public health policy
makers. Its structure makes it accessible to those wishing to dip
into specific areas as well as being both coherent and
comprehensible to those who may wish to read the whole volume. It
is a valuable addition to any public health library."
. Journal of Environmental Health Research
. . "This is a timely and comprehensive review of the new public
health. The book demonstrates a capacity and readiness of the
public health community to engage the population to achieve the
'fully engaged scenario' that remains the major health challenge
for the UK. Replacing 'political restlessness' with political
resolve might be the key ingredient that has been missing."
. Tribune
. . "The second edition of this text is a very welcome addition
to the public health library. The sweep of its interests and the
vision it encapsulates marks it out as a true standard bearer for
public health into the 21st Century. Its approach is comprehensive
and its subject matter compelling. In spite of the challenges ahead
for public health, the book reminds us of the quality of those
practicing and writing about the subject in the UK today."
. . Mike Kelly, Director of the Centre for Public Health
Excellence, The National Institute for Health and Clinical
Excellence (NICE)"
