Review

No problems at all, my order came within 5 days, and was tracked. I would definately do business with them again!

Great Reference text

This textbook was well worth the money. It is resourceful and up-to-date. I am very pleased with it. The writing and layout was very easy-to-read and comprehensive. I found the information useful for a variety of contexts such as environmental health, global health issues, program planning on international programs, and demographic analysis and data.

excellent review and basis for public health study

Well written and a great basis for understanding issues and policies concerning the development of public health programs worldwide. I was most impressed that the authors stressed that we in America are intergrated with the world on health issues. Even at the local level we need to think globally.

International Public Health book

This book is well written by experts in the field. Although it is like reading a textbook, I highly recommend it to anyone interested in international development and/or public health issues abroad.
