This book is a terrible textbook.The material is general and generic, and is mostly common sense for anyone with the slightest knowledge of public health. For instance, the book is replete with sentences such as "public health is a very important issue" or "there are many challenges facing public health." It lacks structure and organization that would enable the material to flow in a cohesive and logical manner so it basically jumps around from subject to subject without quite making sense. Additionally, I found the writing to be superfluous as the authors take a whole page to explain a "concept" that could be explained in a sentence. An incredible waste of money, and certainly not a good reference book for those of us in public health.
Book has been great so far. Have not really used it yet, but all the pages seem to be intact and preset, no obvious tears, wrinkles, stains or over-marking. Cannot comment on quality of book's content because I haven't really done much chapter reading yet.
the book is fine, but the online code is only to get some info on words and stuff, not to access the book online.
Im a PhD student. Not that great of a book.....extremely expensive. Information can be found on internet. Save your money and google!
I needed it for a class. Some chapters are so boring and too detailed...
Had to buy for school. Not my favorite subject - book was okay.
I think the book offers good information but at the same time is too lengthy for a public health course.
Great book
