Recenzje

A stellar essay will inform, captivate, and motivate the reader to action. In this respect, Sandro Galea and Michael Stein contribute not one, but more than 50 essays illustrating in their compelling fashion how healthy people represent more than just the integrity of their DNA and the quality of their medical care. In Pained, Galea and Stein underscore at once the magnitude of the challenges, the public nature of the solutions, and their daunting prospects. Fortunately, the public health community is accustomed to daunting challenges, and this book will serve as an important resource for development of the strategies required.
