Epidemiology and the People's Health: Theory and Context
ISBN: 9780199348428 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Epidemiology is often referred to as the science of public health.

It is about ecology and the economy. It is about how myriad aspects of people's lives--involving work, dignity, desire, love, play, conflict, discrimination, and injustice--become literally incorporated into our bodies and manifest in our health status,...
