So far the book has been good. It would be nice if there were pictures to break up the text.

Public Health Intro

This book gives you a broad and detail perspective of what Public Health is about. It discusses from history to actual issues in different areas. It is an excellent book written in a very simple way with plenty of examples and illustrations of the topics.

If you really want to know how the public health system works...buy this book!

Informative, scholarly presentation detailing the roles, responsibilities, and goals of the public health system from the federal agencies to the health department in your home town. Useful graphs and resources.

Wow...

Boy, I'm surprised at the reaction the book is getting! I have this book, and it's really quite good - I'm an MS-Epidemiology candidate, and it's really helped me with the fundamentals of the field. Incidentally, in response to the implication that Dr. Turnock is less than qualified to put forth an effort such as this, you might want to investigate that, you can find his impressive accompishments at the school's website. Board certified in Preventive Medicine and Public Health, and former director of the IDPH, to name a few? Sounds qualified to me. I'd recommend this book to any PH student or someone looking to learn the basics...I don't hesitate to rank this right up there with Gordis. Cheers!

Good guide to understanding Public Health

This book really tells us what the Public Health is and how it works, as the title suggests. Even though data or statistics cited are somewhat outdated, you can understand the fundamental meaning of PH.
