Book Synopsis Public Health and the State by : Barbara Gutmann Rosenkrantz
Book excerpt: This social history is an ideal model for evaluating our current definition of public health. Rosenkrantz perceptively traces the development of the Massachusetts State Board of Health--established in 1869 as the first state institution in the United States responsible for preventing unnecessary mortality and promoting all aspects of public health.
