The New Public Health has established itself as a solid textbook throughout the world. Translated into 7 languages, The New Public Health distinguishes itself from other public health textbooks, which are either highly locally oriented or, if international, lack the specificity of local issues relevant to students' understanding of applied public health in their own setting. Following the gold standard of knowledge set by the Council for Education in Public Health, the new edition includes:
40% new material, including all new tables, figures, data, and chapter bibliographies
Updates based on the 2005 accreditation criteria of the Council for Education in Public Health (CEPH), as will feedback received from an extensive survey of professors using NPH1
Multiple case studies, chapter-ending bibliographies, and recommended readings
The second edition of The New Public Health provides a unified approach to public health appropriate for all masters' level students and practitioners - specifically for courses in MPH programs, community health and preventive medicine programs, community health education programs, community health nursing programs, as well as programs for other medical professionals such as pharmacy, physiotherapy, and other public health courses. Specific courses include: Fundamentals of Public Health, Introduction to Public Health Policy, Philosophy of Public Health, History of Public Health, Public Health and Healthcare Management, New Technologies and Public Health, Genetics and Biotechnologies, Bio-preparedness and others.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Too often, public health practitioners forget that it is not enough to describe the world. The goal is to change it. In the first edition of The New Public Health, Tulchinsky and Varavikova inspired readers in many countries with a vision for a better world and gave them the tools to make it happen. Their second, substantially revised edition once again draws on a wide range of disciplinary perspectives and, unusually for a public health textbook, provides examples from all parts of the world. In it, they succeed to an even greater extent in creating a book that is both inspirational and practically useful. This should be essential reading for all those seeking to improve the health of populations, whether in their village, city, country, or planet." --Martin McKee CBE, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
"In an era of electronic communication where we search for and read everything online, it is a pleasant surprise to discover a textbook that is not an anachronism, but well suited to the present. This book is an antidote to information overload. The authors' selection of topics and material will provide great value added for users-students, scholars, and practitioners. Public health, not a limited or constrained discipline, comprises a set of problems and the sciences needed to solve them. Here the reader can find the concepts, plus research and results to approach virtually any public health question. Readers can quickly acquire a sound understanding of ideas as diverse as professionalism, consumerism, and social medicine. Capturing public health in fewer than a thousand pages might suggest that no further information is needed or useful. Surely not. Instead Tulchinsky and Varavikova have offered a far more important service by explaining to public health readers how to look outward into other disciplines in the physical, biological, social, and management sciences to help solve public health problems." --Anthony Robbins, MD, MPA, Professor of Public Health, Tufts University School of Medicine and Co-Editor, Journal of Public Health Policy
"The first edition of New Public Health was extremely popular among our international MPH course at Hebrew University, Jerusalem in 2001 as it was probably the best written introduction to the specialty, which exposed the newcomers to a comprehensive range of public health topics and presented complex public health concepts in a very friendly way. Upon graduation and return to Moscow I discovered that the same book and its Russian version were widely used as a standard textbook in various medical schools. We also found it very useful for our training programs as a valuable source of structured information for phisicians and decision makers from HIV/AIDS and other fields. Therefore, based on my personal experience I would highly recommend New Public Health for all those who start learning public health as well as for busy practitioners looking for a good reference book." --Alexei Bobrick, Hebrew University-Hadassah, Jerusalem, Israel
