"This book's great strength derives from a clear and cohesive narrative dealing with the complex, messy and dynamic way in which the social context of our lives interacts with our individual biological make-up and behaviours - in the here and now, and even preceding conception. [...] The authors seek to embolden the next generation of epidemiologists not to be deterred by political and practical constraints and to embrace ubiquitous factors - those macrosocial variables which might seem out of reach, almost impenetrable." -- Glenn Salkeld, International Journal of Epidemiology
"A major milestone in this emergent discipline. It should be required introductory reading for students in public health, health policy, health economics, behavioral sciences, and related fields. This not a repackaging of traditional public health methodologies. Rather, it is an emergent discussion of nine unifying theoretical principles of population health science, complete with excellent case studies, that will extend and inform the practice of both public health and preventative medicine." -Julie Louise Gerberding, MD, MPH, Chief Patient Officer and Executive Vice President of Strategic Communications, Global Public Policy, and Population Health, Merck & Co., Inc.; former Director, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
