As a professor of environmental health science, I find this text to be one of the most comprehensive, balanced, and science-rich texts avaialble. The third edition is the best yet, with minor typos, etc. corrected from previous editions. I also like the balance struck between environmental science and public health in this text. What I have usually found when reviewing texts for course use, is that they over emphasize one area or the other. The new chapter on disaster preparedness is a plus. The science rich presentation is well thought out and balanced. It provides just the right amount of challenge and knitting together of various scientific disciplines to be appropriate for my junior/senior level and graduate students.
This book does a great job of covering a very diverse field of public health. I actually decided to keep this book because I thought it such a great read (I am a medical student and public health student in infectious disease). Although this is clearly not a comprehensive guide of all things environmental and occupational health, it does manage to provide a satisfying level of knowledge a great many topics, and it certainly leaves me with the desire to explore topics further. The writing style is straightforward and informative and I never felt that the author was providing excessive minutia or was being at all tangential. A great read and a great addition to the collection of anybody interested in public health or even medicine.
While this textbook is full of important topics, its not as up to date as it could be, especially since even over ten years there are many policy changes not reflected here .It seems to have been written over a long time span and not updated to even its 2006 publication date. It could use some editing for typos and grammar.
Easy to read book. Great as an introduction to the field of Environmental health. Concepts are easy to understand and give an indepth view of the field.
The supplemental online chapter notes and quizzes are very helpful.
The book is very outdated and doesn't contain anything from the 2000s. The online chapter summaries are very helpful. The book has a lot of information but not very pertinent to today. It might've been great in the early 90s but for today, purchase a newer, updated book.
Love this environmental book. Nice educated book
Fast and accurate! Thank you!
