Review: Das Public Health Buch (original) (raw)

1998, Journal of Public Health

AI-generated Abstract

Schwartz and colleagues' compilation, encompassed in 'Das Public Health Buch,' represents a significant contribution to the field of public health in Germany, marking its resurgence as an academic discipline. Spanning 702 pages, the book reviews the evolution of public health following its historical decline during the National-Socialist era, to its revitalization in recent decades, particularly through the increase of public health schools. Although the work is comprehensive and well-structured for educational purposes, it notably lacks depth in certain areas such as health education planning and community development programs, which could benefit from incorporation in future editions.
