The theme of this collection of essays is partnerships between
health and local government. Such partnerships are not new. Nor is

described as a 'Berlin Wall'.
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. And the history of collaboration between these two sectors of the public services has been checkered 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 re-kindled an avid interest in this issue. The Government's emphasis on partnerships and collaboration has been projected as a key element of their '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, low educational standards and so on. No one agency can tackle these 'wicked issues' which require collaborative action.

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

health. The book demonstrates a capacity and readiness of the

resolve might be the key ingredient that has been missing." . . "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." . . 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.
