Reviews
Based on impressive primary research, Be Wise! Be Healthy! examines some of the twentieth century’s most significant public health issues. The analysis of post–Second World War public health campaigns is particularly illuminating, covering new ground in Canadian history scholarship. The illustrations bring a strong visual component, and I especially enjoyed the discussion of health films and other public health campaign communication tools.
Erika Dyck, professor and Canada Research Chair in the history of medicine, Department of History, University of Saskatchewan:
A fascinating analysis of how a voluntary organization, the Health League of Canada, stimulated public discussions about the health of Canadians. This book pushes the scholarship in new directions by addressing the tensions and synergies between clinical and public health.
