Omschrijving
Invaluable for all practitioners, trainees, and students of public health and epidemiology, the Oxford Textbook of Global Public Health covers the scope, methods, and practice of public health and has been comprehensively updated for its seventh edition.
This book stands on its own in the broadest sense. The global contributors and the all-inclusiveness of the subject matter makes this a perfect read for any public health student or global health professional. Those working in non-governmental organizations may find it very useful in understanding and coordinating with global health challenges and systems. This edition brings the newest information and demands into focus, making it very current.
Review from previous edition I have already identified a space on my shelves for these three volumes!
Highly Commended in the Public Health category of the British Medical Association Book Awards 2016.
