The New Public Health - Baum 3e

This third edition of Fran Baum's The New Public Health is the most comprehensive book available on the new public health. It offers students the opportunity to gain a sense of the scope of the new public health visions, and combines theoretical and practical material to assist students to understand the social and economic determinants of health.

Based on the premise of previous editions - that the new public health offers the chance of greatly improved equity by raising health world health standards - this new edition has been fully revised to reflect recent changes in the theory and practice of the new public health.
