Summary: A refreshing approach to health promotion
Review: This book is a good teaching tool. It covers the basic history and metamorphoses of the health promotion field, offering the reader a chance to critically examine the various approaches. It offers a refreshing look at health, utilizing a multi-dimensional approach in defining and evaluating individual and community health. It also offers many illustration of the ideas by describing health projects from around the world. One thing that could be discussed more are the counter arguments made by epidemiologists against such a broad approach...I would have loved to hear the authors' responses to this.
