Public Health: Policy and Politics

In recent years, public health issues have maintained a high profile as a means of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health. Rob Baggott's new book provides a lucid analysis of the key debates in public health, discussing policy options, and commenting on current initiatives in the field. While the main focus of the analysis is on contemporary public health, the historical context and wider international developments are also explored to offer an all-inclusive account of public health.
