Summary: You must have it
Review: Paul Basch's new edition of his Textbook of International Health must be read by any people working in the field of Health, being it international or not. His historical review is fascinating and you cant stop reading it because it is so absorbing.

The name of the book, containing the word Textbook can make people think that it is boring as many "Textbooks" are, but this one is not. The reading is really pleasant and you will certainlly finish it in a few hours. I just can agree with Ned Wallace.

Review: this book does not fit into an undergraduate program. it is much to detailed and quite boring for the undergraduate and most graduate students. this book has content but no deliverance for the masses to comprehend.

it is a good resource book but a poor text book for the university undergraduate or graduate. jemery
