A civically minded approach to public health, perfect for students on any career path

Understanding the Science and Practice of Public Health is an exciting new textbook designed specifically for introductory public health courses at the college level. In a world rapidly being challenged by climate change, starvation, water shortages, and epidemics―and in a nation plagued by obesity, diabetes, early onset cardiovascular disease, cancer, and gun violence―this book provides students with crucial information that they’ll need to understand what’s going on around them. Thematically, this book focuses on the viewpoint that “We the People” have the ultimate responsibility to collectively assure the conditions that allow people to successfully seek health and well-being. Public health is a public responsibility (a maxim often repeated in the book), and college and university students must be fully informed to optimally meet this vital civic obligation.
