>      These ground-breaking studies have had a lasting impact and
> attest to the belief that public health requires a holistic point
> of view, rather than one limited to disease prevention and control.
> More than 50 public health experts from four continents contributed
> to this 372-page anthology. Their papers are presented in five
> parts:
>
>      1.   Developing a Framework
>      2.   Building Health Public Policy
>      3.   Strengthening Community Action
>      4.   Developing Personal Health Skills
>      5.   Health Promotion for Specific Groups
>           (Includes "The North Karelia Youth Programs" paper
>           presenting four different studies carried out in
>           Finland's North Karelia province "to assess the extent
>           to which cardiovascular risk factors can be prevented in
>           childhood and adolescence.")
>
>      Key documents in the health promotion movement in the
> Americas--the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, Health Promotion
> and Equity (the Declaration of Bogota), and the Caribbean Charter
> for Health Promotion--supplement the text. A glossary of health
> promotion terms and concepts completes the collection.
>
>      This important text is currently being adopted as required
> reading by major Schools of Public Health in the U.S. and Canada.
> The Spanish-language version is expected to be available by
