Public Health: A Very Short Introduction

Great if you need a quick reference

I was hoping for a more broad introduction to public health but this focuses pretty heavily on the UK. It sprinkles in references to other countries, but it should have been called Public Health in the UK

A dreadfully dry treatment of a fascinating topic. This history of public health touches on familiar themes of racism, sexism, social inequality, politics and medical pragmatism - but it’s an absolute slog to get through.
