Policy and Practice in Promoting Public Health offers an up-to-date analysis of the key policy and practice issues involved in promoting public health-from local and community levels, to international settings. The book equips readers with a sound understanding of the policy process, and has a critical edge that encourages readers to reflect on how those involved in multidisciplinary public health can use and influence policy in order to inform practice.

A valuable text for those who are newly introduced to the concepts around health promotion but also to those with more experience.

A book that I would recommend to undergraduate and post graduate students involved in public heath practice. It complements a range of other public health books with the advantage that it takes a skills perspective.
