Description
Derryberry's Educating for Health offers in one volume a remarkable collection of writings by health education pioneer Mayhew Derryberry on core public health education and promotion topics. The book also contains reflections from noted leaders in the field, including Noreen M. Clark, Eugenia Eng, Martin Fishbein, Nicholas Freudenberg, Karen Glanz, Lawrence W. Green, Kate Lorig, Barbara K. Rimer, David A. Sleet, and James R. Sorenson. "By connecting the reader to the past, Dr. Derryberry inspires in us a clearer understanding of our future. This text would be a wonderful addition to any course that examines the history, philosophy, and goals of health education." -Donna M. Videto, associate professor, health, SUNY Cortland, Cortland, New York "Derryberry's Educating for Health is a treat for health education scholars and practitioners alike." -Meredith Minkler, professor, health and social behavior, University of California, Berkeley "This valuable addition to the health education literature clearly demonstrates the historical significance of Derryberry's contributions to an earlier era in health education, and the enduring impact of his work on contemporary practice." -David A. Birch, professor and chair, Department of Health Education and Recreation, Southern Illinois University Carbondale "An important text, both for the history of health education and its current theory-based practice, critical to understanding contemporary health education practice." -Nell H. Gottlieb, professor and coordinator, Health Education Programs, Department of Kinesiology and Health Education, The University of Texas at Austin
