Book Introduction

Aimed at young people interested in working in public health, this volume tells seven public health stories about the eradication of smallpox, the use of an oral rehydration salts solution in treating cholera, decreasing the stigma of mental health problems, the fight against the influence of tobacco companies, HIV and AIDS, tuberculosis, and outbreaks like flu pandemics, Ebola, pneumonic plague, and SARS. It uses simple, non-technical language to explain how techniques were developed to protect the health of communities, drawing on interviews with public health figures.
