Work-life balance

Summary: From the latest developments in treatment to updates on public health threats, information about health and medicine impacts lives more directly than almost any other subject.

The series Health and Medical Issues Today provides just such one-stop resources for those seeking solid overviews of the most controversial and persisting issues in health and psychology. Each volume offers a balanced, in-depth introduction to the medical, scientific, legal, and cultural aspects of subjects ranging from obesity to sports medicine, mental illness, HIV/AIDS, and tobacco use. -- from back cover.
