Synopsis

The new edition of Community Health & Wellness has been expanded to build on the popular concepts presented in the first. This fully updated edition examines the factors influencing community health and development in the new century, including the first scholarly analysis of online communities. Anne McMurray's strong ecological perspective is retained and developed, and forms the framework within which the author examines how risks to the environment create risks to developing capacity.

Through many new case studies and examples, Community Health and Wellness examines in detail the health of communities and their interdependence, both with each other and with their environments.
