The theme of this collection of essays is partnerships between
health and local government. Such partnerships are not new. Nor is
discussion of the merits (or otherwise) of collaboration between
the two sectors. The history of collaboration between these two
sectors of the public services has been chequered to say the least;
indeed, the boundary between health and social care has been
described as a 'Berlin Wall'.
However, New Labour's ascension to power in 1997 has rekindled an
avid interest in this issue. The government's emphasis on
partnerships and collaboration has been projected as a key element
of its 'Third Way' philosophy. Partnership working in particular
has been viewed as the most appropriate means of addressing
endemic, obdurate social ills, such as social exclusion, poor
health, poverty, and low educational standards.

Partnership working in particular has been viewed as the most
appropriate means of addressing endemic, obdurate social ills, such
as social exclusion, poor health, poverty, low educational
standards and so on. No one agency can tackle these 'wicked issues'
which require collaborative action. New Labour's enthusiasm for
partnership approaches produced many new iniatives, legislation and
guidance, powers and duties, incentives and rhetoric. And the
Government's exhortation to collaborate has been particularly
intense in the area of joint working bet
"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)"
. . This bestselling book has been substantially updated to take
account of changing policy and practice. The introduction has been
re-written to form a new chapter giving a comprehensive overview of
the field of public health, making the book much more accessible to
a wider audience.
. . Throughout this book, the authors analyse and reflect upon
the influence of history, research and procedures upon contemporary
public health practice. The text explores the debates surrounding
the meaning of public health and looks at the policy changes that
are reshaping its context. Also examined are the contributions that
epidemiology and health economics make to public health.
. . Public Health for the 21st Century is essential reading for
those involved in developing and implementing policies for health
improvement, health protection and the reduction of inequalities in
health. It also appeals to a wider audience of professionals, lay
people and students who are interested in the wider health and well
being of their communities. .
Sales Savvy: Self-Help for Small Business (Beat Big Business with
Value-Add) is a sales handbook that helps small business people
improve their ability to sell 'value-add'. To beat Big Business, we

that which differentiates us. Sales Savvy teaches the reader how to
sell their expertise or craftsmanship for greater profits and, in
turn, develop a reputation for being "More Expensive and Worth it."
Sales Savvy is of value to the new salesperson learning the
fundamentals (like prospecting, soliciting referrals, etc) as well
as the seasoned veteran looking for a new sales technique (like
'Yes/Yes' questions). It is full of sales anecdotes and real-life
experiences that make the lessons enjoyable and more memorable. Its
the kind of book that you give to friends, employees, and other
business associates.
