Review
"George Rosen's history of public health, which follows international development from their Graeco-Roman origins up to the 1950s, has not yet been superseded as a comprehensive introductory survey of the subject... This will be an invaluable resource for all students of the subject, facilitating access to the relevant literature on a wide range of subjects, from specific diseases, through the experience of individual countries, to such areas of public health concern as education, statistics, mental health and nursing.
