Rezension

"A thoroughly engaging book. This is a book to be savored, to be picked up, and sampled from time to time."
(Journal of the History of Medicine) "Schneider and Lilienfeld have produced a text that captures the enormous breadth of public health over the past century as it expanded its scope from disease and disability to environment and occupational control." - David K. Rosner (Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health) "Twentieth-Century Challenges succeeds the first volume in this set. While volume 1 used selected works from individuals who drove the development of public health, volume 2 acknowledges technical advances, social movements, and the economic developments that drove the discipline. Recommended."
(Choice) "The editors have assembled a remarkably comprehensive and balanced set of milestone studies and provide insightful introductions to the challenges faced by public health practitioners during the twentieth century." - Manning Feinleib (Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health)
