reviewed Handbook of Social Studies in Health and Medicine on September 30, 2014 Handbook of Social Studies in Health and Medicine
Has some gaps that I find serious and the writing style is too heavy on conveying facts and not heavy enough on knitting them together to a compelling story of public health. Still, it's a useful book -- I appreciate the emphasis on community and the colorful design.
