This book offers practicing physicians a brief summary of the past accomplishments and future prospects of public health as seen by a group of outstanding practitioners in various fields which contribute to this specialty. It begins with an excellent discussion of "Genetics and the Public Health" which presents the need of all physicians who act as advisers to family groups for information on this subject. Other notable contributions are found in the chapters on "Realities in Preventive Psychiatry" and "Trends in Development of State and Local Health Service in the United States."
