My first look at the size of the book scared me. However as there is a saying that do not judge a book by its cover, I think we should also not judge a book by its size. I thought the book presented the details of Public health administration in a simple yet comprehensive manner! It was definitely worth the buy!

Great price and great service. The textbook arrived earlier than I anticipated. Will definitely use them again. The text was very informative but brief. Gives an overview of many topics.

Novick, Morrow, and Mays collaborated very well in writing this text. The material was comprehensive, detailed, and current. The publish date is 2008, so many of the examples cited throughout the book are situations that I am experiencing in the health care field today, or have recently read about in the media. This somehow allows for a stronger foundation of understanding for the materials presented by the authors. I enjoyed reading this text, and plan on using it as a reference in the future.

This text by authors Novick and Mays is a must-read for public and community health graduate students or professionals. It contains a "wealth" of pertinent and current information in a user-friendly manner. It should be considered a classic reference text as it provides a foundation of information in a global or well-rounded manner. I look forward to further subsequent texts offered by these authors. My summer was spent reading this text, this was a truly Splendid reading experience...

I had to use this book for my online course. Although the information was helpful, I found the chapters to be lengthy and sometimes difficult to read. If the book is required for your class, then I say buy it. Otherwise you may not look twice at it.
