Resumen
The Introduction sets out the key questions to be explored, sum-
marises the main arguments and describes the case-studies used to consider
these issues in depth. What was the place of the public in public health in
post-war Britain? How did this change over time, and why does this matter?
We briefly describe how we go about answering such questions by intro-
ducing the reader to our case-study areas. These are: the changing nature of
health education; the public health survey; the response to heart disease;
and the development of vaccination policy and practice. We also set out
what each chapter will cover and argue.
