Opens the door to critical anaylses in Public Health
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This book hopefully breaks the ground for a new critical discourse within the practice of public health. A mandatory read for students of health promotion, epidemiology, and biostatistics. Foucaldian principles such as power diffusion are applied to the practice of public health, and its interaction with modern power structures. This book is a significant accomplishment.
