Book Reviewed by Lisa Amir on: Wiley Online (see abstract below)

" Amanda Howe, Professor of Primary Care, University of East Anglia, Norwich exclaims in the foreword: “Do not fear another dry discussion about how to stop patients smoking!” She is correct in indicating that this is not a ‘how to’ book about health promotion – but this reader was well and truly tired of the recurring theme of smoking cessation. Eventually other examples appeared, such as obesity prevention, the SARS outbreak and – finally on p. 228 – my favourite: breastfeeding promotion.

I would recommend this book to anyone planning or teaching health promotion to medical students; it could also be useful for those teaching health promotion in other courses as well. "
