"Ideas that Work" combines theory and practice to help plan and put into action successful community health promotion programs. Case stories, based on the triumphs and struggles of practitioners in the field, provide a practical frame of reference for the critical issues and principles of successful community health promotion. By highlighting the nuances of human conditions so often excluded from scientifically oriented accounts of public health practice, the case stories impart the knowledge and experience of researchers and practitioners and aid in planning and carrying out effective health promotion programs. "Ideas that Work" will sharpen thinking about health promotion and supply the tools needed to make a difference.
Here is a typical sentence from a page opened at random: "A second lesson from this chapter's case story is that political and public support for health promotion and public health can be stimulated if efforts are made to do so." The overall content isn't wrong but this kind of word waste is hard for me to take.
