This book is a good place to begin. --Inquiry This anthology provides an engaging overview of the emerging field of public health ethics...The book is likely to be a useful adjunct to courses on public health theory and practice, health policy, public health ethics, and health equity. --American Journal of Epidemiology The editors use a diverse scope of topics to infuse an encyclopedic breadth yet enjoyable read that sets a new standard for comprehensiveness on the subject.
