Paperback. Condizione: 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.
