“This is an important textbook in a field that has only recently become defined and which has been poorly served by books in the past. It is pitched very carefully to be useful to professionals practicing public health, occupational health, and those aspects of microbiology and toxicology applied to health protection giving a comprehensive view without the inclusion of large amounts of technical detail. It’s built around the practice and theory of environmental medicine and health protection. This is a ‘must have’ book for anyone working in health protection and the supporting medical and scientific fields. It’s comprehensive without being over technical and is bang up to date”.
