Description
The New Public Health has established itself as a solid textbook throughout the world. Translated into 7 languages, TNPH
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. This textbook offers students both
a comprehensive overview of public health theories as well as in-depth topical chapters, separately presenting special areas of public
health practice applied to local settings and case studies. Following the "gold standard" of knowledge set by the Council for Education
in Public Health, the new edition includes:
* 40% of 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"
* Companion
web site features an Instructors' Guide, PowerPoint lectures slides by the authors on topics related to the chapters, Case Studies, and Links to key websites for continuous updating of material for study and research
The second edition of NPH 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.
