title: Health promotion Health promotion , 2nd edition Edelman C and handle C C V Mosby 616pp £27.95 0-8016-3260-9 [Formula: see text].
abstract: The second edition of Health Promotion: Throughout the Lifespan should, I hope, gain a wider readership than anticipated, given the emphasis on health promotion in the general practitioner contracts and the expansion of health promotion activities in hospitals and the community. All nurses have an important part to play in health promotion, and this book has something to offer everyone, regardless of discipline, background or place of work.
