Making It Better breaks new ground in health promotion. It is an essential tool for researchers, policy makers, and practitioners working to improve the health of their communities. Amid dire warnings of unsustainable demands and spiraling costs in health service delivery, Making It Better is a welcome voice offering a fresh health promotion approach to improving health outcomes. In addition, it is a timely expose of product marketing and advertising, which contributes to so many of our modern-day chronic illnesses. It promises pathways to better health for women, girls, and ultimately for all. -- Kelly Banister, Chief Executive Officer, Australian Women's Health Network This book provides a refreshing and interesting look at health promotion. It brings together the Canadian and Australian contexts, the determinants of health, and feminist theory and ideology, which makes it unique. -- Joyce Engel, Associate Professor of Nursing, Brock University -- 20140827
