This review is from: Public Health Administration: Principles for Population-based Management (Hardcover)

Novick, Morrow, and Mays collaborated very well in writing this text. The material was comprehensive, detailed, and current. The publish date is 2008, so many of the examples cited throughout the book are situations that I am experiencing in the health care field today, or have recently read about in the media. This somehow allows for a stronger foundation of understanding for the materials presented by the authors. I enjoyed reading this text, and plan on using it as a reference in the future.

Great price and great service. The textbook arrived earlier than I anticipated. Will definitely use them again. The text was very informative but brief. Gives an overview of many topics.
