Promoting Health for All: * shows clearly the links between health promotion theory and practice, by featuring a range of practical caste studies * includes short papers on key issues within health promotion * provides a British focus on Health Promotion but within an international context This highly accessible volume seeks to present views of health promotion from a materialist perspective; a view widely shared in practice, but not previously explored fully within the literature.
