| Abstract | "This book draws a picture of health, one that both scientific and non-scientific readers can grasp. In The Picture of Health, the authors offer 100 such pictures, representations of data, facts, truths about the public's health that have been published in the scientific literature in recent years and present them in a way such that public health novices can gain an understanding of the issues, the conditions and pressures, that shape the health of Americans. Through pictures and simple explanations, the authors offer a portrayal of the concerns of public health and an illustration of public health concepts, aiming to create a generation of Americans who are better educated about public health, to our collective advantage"-- Provided by publisher. |
