The third edition of The New Public Health is the most comprehensive book available on the new public health. It offers the reader the opportunity to gain a sense of the scope of the new public health visions, and demonstrates importance of the challenges to this approach to world healthissues. Based on the premise of previous editions - that the new public health offers the chance of greatly improved equity by raising world health standards - this new edition has been fully revised to reflect recent changes in the theory and practice of the new public health.Baum investigates knowledge and methodologies from across the social sciences, environmental sciences and humanities, from epidemiology and demography, sociology and social work, to urban planning and political science. By drawing on theories as they best illuminate the practice of new publichealth, Baum illustrates the broad and multidisciplinary nature of public health practice, and provides students with a basis for action.Divided into eight parts, the book considers the context and history of public health internationally and within Australia, then investigates the political economy of public health, research methods used throughout the discipline, patterns of Australian health and inequalities as compared tointernational standards, the health of the environment, the health of individuals, alternatives to current thinking towards health and sustainability, and finally makes an assessment of the future of public health.

Human rights violations are underlying causes of adverse health outcomes for vulnerable people and populations around the world. Public Health and Human Rights provides critical, evidence-based assessments and tools with which to investigate the role of rights abrogation in the health of populations—from repressive laws to social discord, gender-based violence, human trafficking, and violations in conflict. Divided into three sections, this provocative work investigates how the complex interactions between rights and health can best be studied, analyzed, and remedied; how the efforts of human rights advocates affect health outcomes; and how modern public health procedures can assist in documenting, understanding, and preventing human rights violations. Part I illuminates the powerful relationship between rights work and public health practice in Thailand, Russia, Burma, and China and in U.S. prisons. Part II explores new methodologies and new uses of previous practices for rights-based public health research. Part III confronts current policy approaches—such as Brazil's integration of rights, HIV/AIDS programming, and the contradictory and confounding global policies on illicit drugs—and offers recommendations for future programs and strategies.

This pioneering book offers the most comprehensive and teachable compilation of materials on public health law now available.One of the challenges of teaching public health law is that the subject matter is not self-contained and touches every other body of law. This book solves that problem by organizing and integrating the material to address (1) cross-cutting themes in public health policy and (2) the policy tools used by public health policymakers and practitioners.In perhaps its most exciting innovation, Bonnie and Bernheim have constructed an intriguing and diverse menu of teachable units focused on specific policy problems or case studies in public health action. Each case study weaves together the perspectives of law, ethics and public policy.This book is richly interdisciplinary. Although the basic anatomy of the book is organized around the law, the materials feature the empirical perspectives of the public health sciences and draw on cross-cutting themes and normative frameworks of applied ethics and public policy.Although designed for students of law, the book can easily be adapted to courses designed for students in public health and public policy programs and other professional courses examining the role of law and public policy in advancing population health.
