Synopsis
Excerpt from Community Health
There are cultural aspects Of the subject which should receive more attention than they do. Certain significant historical events of a medi cal nature are mentioned from time to time in the text. These should contribute to the student's general information and background. Such facts are seldom presented in general courses in history; they are, how ever, important in the development of western civilization and should not be ignored by the we'll-informed student.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book gives an account of the history of community health efforts in the United States. The author begins by describing the rise of "hygiene" (as public health was initially called) as a medical science in the late 19th century. He then traces the development of public health agencies, the growth of health education, and the evolution of health policy. The book also discusses the major public health challenges of the past century, including infectious diseases, environmental pollution, and chronic diseases. By examining public health through the lens of history, the author is able to show how our understanding of health and disease has changed over time, and how public health policies have adapted to meet new challenges. As such, this book provides a valuable perspective on the importance of the field of public health to society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780243314294_0
