I purchased this book during the last few months of studying towards my degree in public health. It was one of the most helpful books I have found within this field.
It covers all essential up-to-date topics including - community development, needs assessment, leadership and management issues. The section on developing public health strategies is particularly worth mentioning and includes a step-by-step approach on how to achieve effective public health measures.
It also provides a good source of further references to other related articles and books which was also very worthwhile. The layout is simple yet effective, easy to understand which made it a fantastic study aid for exams.
It is small and compact which means you can take it with you at all times, as I have and it has proved invaluable during the first months of my employment in the field of public health. This book would appeal to all persons involved in public health at present as it provides information that can be used on many levels, from student to practitioner.
