Civics and Health

"Civics and Health" by William H. Allen argues that a community's health is everyone's job, not just something individuals should worry about because the book examines how health and civic duty go hand in hand. In particular, it points out how schools often fail to properly teach kids about health and that even when there are rules about hygiene, they aren't always followed or supported by the community. The book emphasizes learning by doing, not just knowing the ideas. Giving real examples of what happens when health is ignored, especially for children. The author pushes people to take charge and fight for better health in their community. The book sets the stage for a conversation about what people need to do to stay healthy.
