Public health and insurance: American addresses

"Public Health and Insurance: American Addresses" by Sir Arthur Newsholme is a compilation of speeches about public health given in the United States in the early 1900s. The book looks closely at the progress and problems in keeping people healthy, comparing England and America, based on Newsholme's long career in preventing disease and managing health programs. The speeches examine topics like how cities affect health, the story of health laws, and how health, poverty, and taking care of each other are connected. Newsholme starts by talking about his past work in public health and what he hoped to achieve with his talks during his year in America. He thinks about how the health problems in England and America are alike, stressing that the countries can gain knowledge from each other. The beginning prepares the reader for a close look at the history of improvements in public health, the importance of regular people in making health better, and the need for countries to work better together to solve health problems, especially for mothers and children.
