This book is useful not only for the health promotion specialist or student, but anyone coming from a health related background or whose job involves any aspect of promoting the health of a particular client group. Issues such as the multitude of views of what health is and who promotes our health are introduced as a precursor to the exploration of what is meant by the term 'Health Promotion'and what are the values of health promotion. Accessible and easy-to-follow guidelines advise on how to identify health promotion needs, practice effectively and how to efficiently plan and evaluate health promoting activities.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough and would also thoroughly recommend 'Health Promotion: Foundations for Practice' by Jennie Naidoo and Jane Wills.
