I am very pleased to announce that there are a
number books in production as well proposals for books that have been accepted,
and work on them is under way. Furthermore, several authors of current
products will be available to sign their books at the fall APHA Annual Meeting
in Washington, D.C.
APHA members of all sections are encouraged to
using existing, new and emerging products in their academic courses. These
resources are also very relevant to policy, prevention, advocacy and client
care initiatives. Please encourage your colleagues to use these timely and
evidence-based resources. Go to the APHA website to find out more: www.aphabookstore.org
We are also looking for new proposals for books. If
you have an idea for a book, please send a few paragraphs describing the idea,
intended audience and your qualifications to Nina Tristani, Director of
Publications, APHA, nina.tristani@apha.org
Thank you for supporting APHA Books and promoting
these products.
