Social change and health in Sweden: 250 years of politics and practice

This remarkable book, written by Jan Sundin and Sam Willner, is an history of Public Health in Sweden, extremely detailed and interesting for the foreign (and Swedish) reader. I hope that you will be interested and buy it, it is worth it.

Introduction
This book is a shorter version of a recently published anthology in Swedish, with certain amendments and additions to make the contents more accessible to an international audience [1]. It is a historical journey
through 250 years of Swedish public health (epidemiological and demographic evidence, ideas, politics and practices) following the transition of Sweden from a traditional agricultural society to the “post-industrial”
world. Although based on Swedish experiences, the book also puts the country’s history into a wider international perspective. Sweden was of course not isolated from the rest of Europe and public health ideas and policies were formulated and practised in a European context.
