In the twenty-first century public health is under considerable threat. Environmental deterioration, terrorism and war, growing economic inequalities, declining social capital, neo-liberal economic policies, and rapid economic globalisation all pose threats to health. Public health is concerned with reducing these threats and finding healthy solutions to them. In the past public health was dominated by medical models of practice, however, now it is increasingly multi-disciplinary and focuses on the social, economic, and environmental bases of health. The comprehensive overview of contemporary public health practice in The New Public Health discusses the rapid changes that have affected public health in the early years of the new century.
This second edition includes two new chapters; one on globalisation, which sets the new public health in a global context, and another dedicated to a settings approach to health promotion, including healthy cities.
