"This excellent book will be of interest to a wide range of health promoters including nurses, doctors and public health practitioners. This accessible book focuses on a range of skills needed to become an effective practitioner. I recommend it as essential reading for students and practitioners concerned with promoting health."Dr Michael C. Watson, Trustee, Institute of Health Promotion and Education."Each chapter is as rich as the next. This is the book I have been waiting for. It is perfectly academically balanced to initiate and stimulate students and put them into action in regards to practical applications in Health Promotion."Ginette P. Michel, Laurentian University
