It has been around sixty years since the end of the Second World
War, but historians have only just begun to properly explore the
post war history of health and its inner was antecedents. Most
research and publication has focused on health services and the
arrival of the NHS; where public health is concerned most
historical surveys ignore the recent past and base their
investigations on the nineteenth-century public health legacy.
This collection opens up the post war history of public health to
sustained research based, historical scrutiny. "Medicine, the
Market and the Mass Media "examines the development of a new view
of 'the health of the public' and the influences which shaped it in
the post war years. The book looks at the dual legacy of social
medicine through health services and health promotion, and analyses
the role of mass media along with the connections between public
health and industry. These essays take a broad perspective
examining developments in Western Europe, and the relationships
between Europe and the US.
