The "real" health promotion literature can be summarized briefly and concisely
as follows:

1. the information and approach found at:  http://www.who.dk/healthy-cities
2.  the information that is available from a number of books on health promotion
found at the Open University in the UK.
  http://www3.open.ac.uk/courses/bin/p12.dll?C01K301

3. and some of the following titles...  all of them are about listening to
communities;  having communbities identify their issues, and empowering people
rather than blaming them!
