Reviews

A valuable book on a topic that I have not see covered elsewhere. The examples are well thought out and cover a broad range of topics. Doody's Book Review Service Most useful for the collections of hospitals and college and university libraries supporting undergraduate and graduate programs in allied health, medicine, nursing and public health, although public librarians may also wish to add this work for its depth of background on and breadth of discussion of an often tangled subject. E-Streams Scholarly and well-written... should be of great interest to both historians and modern researchers interested in the overlap between social processes and public health, and is deserving of critical attention.
