"Is this book 'the one' that people sitting the Part A have been yearning for? Having spent a few weeks looking through Mastering Public Health, comparing it with my experiences of Part A and my revision notes, I would say an (almost) unqualified 'yes'.Mastering Public Health is intended as a 'one stop shop' textbook for people sitting their MFPH Part A - something which didn't previously exist. For those lucky individuals taking MRCP and many of the other Royal College exams there have been comprehensive revision texts available for years, but here in the world of public health the notion has taken a while to catch on. Fortunately Lewis and colleagues have brought the field to its senses, with a succint yet comprehensive guide to the whole Part A syllabus." Public Healthy (www.publichealthy.com)
