About this title

Synopsis

Written jointly by experts in law and in public health, this book is designed specifically for public health practitioners, lawyers, healthcare providers, and law and public health educators and students.

Like the original edition, this book attempts to identify, define, and clarify the complex principles of law as they bear on the practice of public health. Fully revised with several new chapters.
