This book is a great text requirement for an MPH program. The only drawback I can think of, is that it is so darn heavy! An e-book or kindle version may not be as user friendly as one may think. Overall, good buy.
This was an incredibly good text book and I thoroughly enjoyed reading every bit of it. It is a compilation of topics as an overview of public health in American. The editors did a great job of choosing relevant topics that gave a student a good picture of Public Health and what makes up Public Heath. I highly recommend this book.
This book is very wordy, with little content. So was the class. Really? We could have had a two day seminar with a quiz at the end and learned the same amount. I'm a nurse, if this is all Public Health is, well, not much to it. Somebody needs to write a book "Public Health Made Easy." Don't spend a ton of time studying for this class. Skim this massive headache, go by your notes and forget it.
As mentioned by another person this book is really wordy for no real reason. I'm sure the same concepts could have been shared more effectively if plain language was used. Also it would have probably cut down the size of the book in half. I studied healthcare administration for my undergrad and now I am pursuing my MHA. Of all the books I've had to read in my healthcare career, this one by far has been the least interesting.
This text is a good overview of public health issues and historical information. An easy book for use by non-public health majors. The book seems to be designed more for someone who might be taking only 1-2 semesters of PH rather than someone who is concentrating in this subject. There is not any significant statistics work, just a broad overview of the discipline.
This book is what every person needs to help with their endeavor of community health nursing. This book adds a lot of wealth of information to the things already learned.
This book arrived on time and is in perfect condition! I was able to begin my class the first day with my book!Great service and price!
