- Summary
- At last comes the Eighth Edition of the classic text, extensively revised by the new best selling author/editor team of Leiyu Shi and Douglas Singh.

Each section begins with a summary highlighting the major issues and challenges as well as an outline of the articles that follow. The Eighth Edition features both classic readings as well as new readings published within the last five years. New articles on healthcare delivery and interventions address health determinants and improving population health from other countries in the world.
