Reviews / Votes
"The strengths of the book are its targeting of a Canadian health care policy audience and its emphasis on using case studies of actual policies to illustrate the various theoretical perspectives. The focus on the relationship between health and social welfare is also a strength." - Paula Goering, Section Head, Centre for Addiction and Mental HealthMore details
