Hygiene: a manual of personal and public health (New Edition)

"Hygiene: a manual of personal and public health" by Arthur Newsholme is a detailed exploration of health practices intended for the common good. The text begins centuries ago by examining the history of public health, and it highlights the importance of sanitation and disease prevention. With a commitment to education, the book emphasizes how the understanding of basic hygiene (like food, water and air quality) can promote both personal well-being and wider welfare. It draws on historical examples of infectious disease outbreaks to show how public health has improved across time as a result of increased hygiene and cleanliness.
