Create a flyer for "A Reader in Promoting Public Health"

This is a well laid out book which covers a variety of topics in 5 broad sections. The chapters and articles within each section are well structured and manageable in terms of the topics they cover and the content is covered clearly and informatively - a straightforward read. It does help having some background knowledge of health promotion when using it, but many new areas are included that give pause for thought (e.g. terrorism)

This book provides a useful insight into different aspects of public health, and will help students develop their learning on issues relating to public health and beyond.

excellent introductory reader.

A very well organised book, taking the reader on a journey through the historical development of public health through to controversial arguments and debates about its future direction. The book is well structured, with the introductions to each chapter providing a clear pathway through the arguments and debates. The authors tackle some of the more challenging issues, presenting alternative viewpoints to enable the reader to draw their own conclusions from a range of perspectives.

A very readable book, the links to Global Public Health are extremely relevant to Internationhal students. The questioning debate proffered from numerous perspectives, including terrorism on Public Health throw up some very interesting questions. Several of the chapter titles at first glance are a little disconcerting!
