Abstract
"This textbook is a history of public health focusing on key moments, discoveries, events, and people - to tell stories important to public health history. The idea is that a topic, theme, or event is the basis for a description (narrative or story) about the important historical event, discovery, awakening, etc. to best engage the reader. Research sources include primary sources from newspapers of the time, government documents (where available) and currently-written textbooks and papers or journal articles about public health and medicine. Illustrations have been chosen and utilized to depict important visual aspects of the event or era to complement the narratives. In addition, the importance of each aspect of public health history is linked to its relevance to public health today"-- Provided by publisher
