Product Description
This book, at once an introduction to public health as a discipline and a critique of its development over recent times, reviews epidemiological and demographic trends internationally. It provides an overview of major health trends, summarizes the current state of the world's health, and examines the pattern of modern epidemics, the impact of disability, and the causes of premature death in rich and poor countries alike, with examples drawn from diverse geographical and medical areas.
