Now available online, this fifth edition of the ever-popular Oxford Textbook of Public Health remains the ultimate resource on the subject of public health and epidemiology. Two new editors - Mary Ann Lansang and Martin Gulliford - join the established editor team of Roger Detels and Robert Beaglehole, offering perspectives from four continents with vastly different health systems, public health needs, and priorities. The contributors to this textbook are eminent policy makers, public health practitioners, and academics from both the developed and developing world, including Dr Margaret Chan, Director of the World Health Organization. The Oxford Textbook of Public Health divides the complex, dynamic subject of public health into three topics: the scope of public health, including development, policies, laws, and ethics; the methods of public health, including the epidemiology; and the practice of public health, including the problems and options for disease prevention and control. The textbook also looks at the future of public health in the 21st Century, and remains the most comprehensive, accessible reference for both students and practitioners in public health and epidemiology. The online version of the Oxford Textbook of Public Health contains the full text of the print edition (which can be browsed by the contents list or searched), links from references in the text to external sources (via PubMed, ISI, and CrossRef), and all figures and illustrations from the print edition, downloadable into PowerPoint.
