Sixth edition of the hugely successful, internationally recognised textbook on global public health and epidemiology, with 3 volumes comprehensively covering the scope, methods, and practice of the discipline

The third edition of the Oxford Textbook of Public Health, a major revision of the previous edition, updates the accomplishments in the field of public health, the continuing problems and the constantly changing agenda required to meet current and emerging challenges. As in the previous twoeditions, the book portrays the philosophy and underlying principles of public health, the methods used in the investigation of public helath problems and current solutions to these problems. In addition the textbook presents the moral basis for striving for "health for all" in the face ofincreasing fiscal and political pressures to reduce governmental support for this right. The textbook is intended to be a comprehensive reference source for postgraduate students in the field, but it is also written to provide insights for those not primarily in public health. It is intended to be a comprehensive textbook of this diverse field which will be included in the library ofevery major institution concerned with the field of public health and community-based, population-orientated medicine.Since the publication of the second edition of the Oxford Textbook of Public Health, major changes have occurred in the problems which public health must address. The editors have recruited leading authorities in the various aspects of public health to present and discuss continuing and newchallenges to promoting the health of the public. There are many examples of these new challenges.The first volume deals with the scope of public health, including its development, philosophy and change. The second volume presents the science, methods, and disciplines currently used by public health to identify, measure, and resolve health problems. The third volume presents the applications ofpublic health science to the resolution of the major public health problems occurring in the nineties, and the public health functions critically required to achieve these objectives.

Ashford, LeCroy, and Lortie's ground-breaking book offers students a balanced, integrated introduction to human behavior in the social environment. Lively and comprehensive, this book succeeds by helping students connect foundation knowledge with practice concerns. Clarified through the introduction of study tables and concept maps (at the end of each discussion behavior in the development chapters), the authors look at biopsychosocial development across the life span using an integrative multidimensional approach, discussing integrative practice, theory, treatment, and services throughout. This multidimensional framework provides a concrete tool for the reader to assess human behavior from a perspective that truly reflects the values and knowledge base of the social work profession. Together, the book's solid coverage of foundation knowledge, integration of the biopsychosocial dimensions for assessing social functioning, its multidimensional framework, and its use of case studies to illuminate the applied aspects of HBSE content--along with the authors' consistent attention to diversity--successfully combine to give readers a meaningful, exciting experience.
