* population issues and family welfare
* the rise of the classic welfare state
* attitudes towards public health into the twenty-first century.

Health, Civilization and the State Bewertungen

'An absolutely fascinating book. The issues raised are timely and unsettling, largely unaddressed as they are by contemporary public health professionals.' - British Medical Journal
