North American scholars of health and ethics raise questions about the role of the state and employers in trying to change health related behavior, such as diet, exercise, and safe sexual practices, and whether or not these efforts are either beneficial (for health or economic reasons), or ethical. Throughout the book the idea of the ambivalence of Americans regarding public health programs is discussed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
