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 use
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.
