International Encyclopedia of Public Health

The International Encyclopedia of Public Health covers all aspects of the public health field, providing information relating to key conceptual areas such as ethics and legality, consumerism, anthropology and sociology. The role of economics, globalisation and the history of public health are also examined while articles submitted by a wide range of distinguished contributors cover a broad list of topics, providing investigation into disease, hospital conditions, aging, diet, and injuries.  The encyclopedia presents a comprehensive review of global public health variously providing minute detail relating to the specifics of disease and large scale overviews of the organisation of social insurance agencies.
