Health Promotion Reviews

This essential text covers all the fundamental elements needed for any student undertaking a health promotion degree. It will no doubt become a required resource for our health promotion teaching.

-- Dr Francine Watkins, Senior Lecturer in Public Health, University of Liverpool, UK

This is a well written, comprehensive health promotion textbook. It will support practitioners and students to underpin their practice with relevant theory.

-- Jane Goodman-Brown, Programme Lead for Public Health, Oxford Brookes University, UK

A wonderfully rich and accessible textbook on the key aspects of health promotion. Green, Tones, Cross and Woodall should be commended for their impressive contribution to the art and science of health promotion in contemporary society.
