[Joe · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is a great introduction to health education but not much else. It discusses some basic principles of the field, the organization of the specialty, and goes so far as to actually give practical advice about obtaining future employment as a health educator. The text doesn't go into detail about any methods of educating people, however. I might be going a little harsh on this book w/ a 3/5 rating considering I know it's an introductory book.

This book, while emphasizing the US environment, policy and case studies, offers a considered understanding of health promotion. The understanding and management of risk is a key focus.
