Introduction to Public Health (6th Edition)

Introduction to Public Health

Title: Introduction to Public Health Edition: Sixth Edition Author: Mary-Jane Schneider Publisher: Jones & Bartlett Learning (Navigate 2 Advantage Access)

Cover Design: The background is a clean, warm off-white/light gray, giving the cover a modern and open feel. "SIXTH EDITION" appears in bold green at the top right. "Introduction to" is set in smaller dark navy type, while "PUBLIC" and "HEALTH" each appear on their own line in massive, bold stencil-style display type — "PUBLIC" in deep navy and "HEALTH" in rich green — creating a strong, graphic two-color title treatment. The author's name is set in clean dark blue on the left. A Navigate 2 Advantage Access badge with an access code notice sits in the bottom left corner.

Cover Illustration: The central image is a beautifully conceived globe formed entirely from hundreds of small handprints in varying shades of blue, teal, and green, arranged in concentric layers to create a spherical form. The hands radiate outward from a bright white center, growing denser and darker toward the edges. The image powerfully evokes global community, collective human effort, diversity, and the population-level focus that defines public health as a discipline.

About the Book: A widely adopted introductory public health textbook covering the history, core functions, and essential services of public health, along with epidemiology, environmental health, chronic and infectious disease, health policy, and the social determinants of health.

Audience: Undergraduate and graduate students in public health, health administration, nursing, and allied health programs.
