Public Health is a vast academic field covering a wide spectrum of disciplines from specific public health courses for those specialising in public health careers / research, to qualifying and post-qualifying training for nurses, doctors and other health professionals.

Taking a thematic approach, this four volume collection presents the essential articles on:

Theories and policies in public health
Epidemiology
Environmental public health

International contexts

The Major Work takes a comparative approach, looking both historically and internationally at this very important subject area.
