Public Health: An Introduction to the Science and Practice of Population Health by authors Franklin White, Lorann Stallones, and John M.

White, Stallones, and Last’s collective expertise shines through in the multidisciplinary approach, making the content relevant and deeply insightful for students and professionals alike.As someone with a background in public health, I found this book to be a valuable resource, not just for refreshing my knowledge, but also for understanding current challenges in the field. This comprehensive guide is ideal for anyone looking to grasp the science and ethics behind population health. I also highly recommend this book as a text for any introduction to public health course.

My professor wrote this book and his amazing work also shows in this textbook

The book arrived ahead of time which was great as I needed it for class however I received it and it had weird dots and dents in it along with scratches where the ink was coming off and white was showing on the cover and spine of the book. It seems as if I was sent a used copy rather than a new one which is what I purchased.

Though the book itself is great, the compatibility with kindle is disappointing. The page numbers aren't there and the click-to-scroll function is kind of less preffered than theother functions available with my other books. The book itself is top-notch so I would recommend the hard copy
