5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book for teaching,
By A Customer
This review is from: Public Health Leadership and Management: Cases and Context (Hardcover)
I teach public health practice on the undergrad and graduate level and enjoy using cases. This is the best book of public health cases I have seen. These are written to the Harvard case model and there are introductory chapters on the health system and public health system that are very useful. I just found out there is a teachers guide to go with this book. Have not seen that yet but am anxious to get a copy. All in all an excellent book.

This review is from: Public Health Leadership and Management: Cases and Context (Hardcover)
The binding is not attached to the book leaving the whole book very loose. Other than that the pages are fine and no highlighting.

This review is from: Public Health Leadership and Management: Cases and Context (Hardcover)
I have not received this book. I am halfway through my quarter and still do not have the book. Needless to say I could care less if I get it at this point. I just want my money back.
