----------------------
With a strong comparative and international element, this engaging book 
analyses the process, implementation, and outcomes of health policy in 
Canada. Of interest to a variety of disciplines, including nursing, social 
work, health sciences, medicine, and health policy, it is written for 
those studying or working in the health sector. 

?The book does a good job of describing the basic principles and the 
shifting sands of the policy picture in Canada. I found it helpful for my 
own reflections on what has been happening in public health policy. I 
really like the fact that the book discusses social equity and 
determinants of health as well as health care. I think this book fills a 
gap in the policy literature in Canada.?
