- Summary:
- "This book examines the ways that policy and politics influence health--both the policies we think of as health policy, formally, and those that we don't. The author introduces the concept of the political determinants of health (modeled on the term social determinants of health) and describes the history of health legislation and explains how readers can use this knowledge to take social action"-- Provided by publisher.
