“It is extremely good value for its price as each chapter has been extensively researched and updated and has suggestions and references for further reading to explore the subject material in more detail.” (Journal of Occupational Medicine, 30 May 2013)
As attitudes to work and wellbeing evolve and our understanding of the relationship between health and the world around us grows – occupational and environmental medicine is changing rapidly.
