Cr�ticas:

“This book is 'new' and 'original'. It moves away from traditional thinking in the health communication field. It presents perspectives from countries and societies which are often not covered in ‘mainstream’ collections. It deserves to be read by both scholars and practitioners alike.” (Jan Servaes, UNESCO Chair in Communication for Sustainable Social Change)
