This important new edition presents a unique and wide-ranging review of the current policy and practice of public health. It draws together the viewpoints of a variety of leading practitioners to provide diverse perspectives on the range of key issues facing public health today. Its great breadth of coverage includes contributions from senior policy makers, politicians, practitioners, academics and researchers. This book is timely and up-to-date. It straddles the worlds of policy and practice to provide a clear overview of public health today, and it will become a cornerstone when constructing policy and developing practice in the future. "New Perspectives in Public Health, Second Edition" is essential reading, with core material for all health professionals involved in public health at every level, and for everyone with an interest in the field, including those in government and special interest groups. "Interesting, exciting, important - there are many definitions of public health. My favourite is a simple one. It is any method for improving the quality of life of individuals or populations. What a great thing to be able to do, to help in the process of healing and improving health. It is not easy and it is necessary to show humility and recognise that we do not know all the answers and indeed may be far from achieving them; hence the importance of research and development. This is not a sterile activity designed to produce publications or support the research ratings of the academic unit. For public health practitioners it is a fundamental activity to improve health." - Sir Kenneth Calman, Vice-chancellor and Warden, University of Durham, in the Foreword. 'Illuminating, excellent.' - "Journal of Public Health Medicine". 'An excellent primer on the current scope, potential and constraints of public health.' - "Health Matters". 'A thoroughly worthwhile read. Easily accessible. This book will undoubtedly give you optimism, should you need it, that public health is alive and well.' - "Health Promotion International." 'Essential reading for all clinicians.' - "The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists". 'Demands attention, interesting, a good read' - "Scottish Medical Journal".
