Given the success and positive reviews of the first edition, Friis has kept in tact the features that work well. The author has instead focused on completing a thorough update of tables, figures and data. Major updates: • New chapter (Chapter 14) on injuries • All Web-based sources updated throughout to include the most recent information • Expanded discussion of the history of environmental health, e.g., contributions of John Snow, Lemuel Shattuck, and Walter Reed • New case study on pandemic influenza (H1N1) 2009 • Coverage of recent environmental controversies, such as use of bisphenol A in plastics This best-selling offering from the APHA/Jones & Bartlett Learning Essential Public Health series is a clear and comprehensive study of the major topics of environmental health, including: • Background of the field and “tools of the trade” (environmental epidemiology, environmental toxicology, and environmental policy and regulation). • Environmental diseases (microbial agents, ionizing and non-ionizing radiation). • Applications and domains of environmental health (water and air quality, food safety, waste disposal, and occupational health). With a straightforward, non-technical approach, the author has included many examples and illustrations of environmental health issues. Perfect for the beginning student as well as the experienced health professional, each chapter concludes with study questions and exercises to engage the reader in further study.

This book contains numerous black-and-white photographs, tables, diagrams and text boxes of such low quality that reading a single chapter is enough to give you a headache. There is a great deal of interesting anecdotal information. However, this is at the expense of directly relevant factual information and technical details that are included in other environmental health texts.

I took a course that required the latest edition of this book. Being as how I was in a financial crunch (due to bizarre financial aid delays), I had to wait as long as possible to purchase my books for class. Eventually the class started so I simply purchased the book on kindle. I paid double the price of the print version to get an outdated, significantly different textbook.
I was horrendously confused about what the professor was teaching and from where in the text she was teaching. That is until I realized that my book was not the same book she was teaching from. Normally, I would understand. An older edition should very well be outdated and have less content.
But not if you pay double the price of the current edition that isn't available digitally.
Seriously, the kindle version was released a year before the brand new edition. Why on earth wouldn't the kindle version be updated? Why would the digital price differ so dramatically in price? I'm far beyond confused. Ultimately, I looked foolish and was completely unprepared for a difficult course. Thanks.
