Testimonials

"Health is the only thing that really matters"
Steve Kerr, Head Coach, Golden State Warriors

"Prevention Diaries is Larry Cohen's intensely personal and introspective account of why stopping health problems before they start makes sense for individuals and for societies - and is possible. His stories of how advocates have successfully intervened to prevent problems caused by unhealthy eating, cigarettes, automobiles, guns, violence, and system inequalities should inspire everyone interested in public health to get involved in prevention."
Marion Nestle, City University of New York Medical School

"In Prevention Diaries Larry Cohen has done something unprecedented: he has made prevention come alive and put it in its economic, social, and environmental context. This book does not preach - it illuminates, citing real pioneering individuals, real communities, real problems, and real change. It should be read not only by every health professional of every discipline but also by all those community leaders who strive to mobilize their neighbors to confront the multiple forms of injustice that cause suffering and disease."
H. Jack Geiger, City University of New York Medical School

More Testimonials

"Prevention Diaries is wonderful- accessible to anyone with half a brain and an interest in health. And what an amazingly rich trove of stories and historical accounts of Cohen's work in public health. This has been clearly a labor of pain and love, and a legacy work."
Jack Champlin, Retired National Transportation Policy and Injury Prevention Leader

"When the most affordable food is the healthiest, when pleasing places are the routine, and when the easiest route is the safest, then prevention imperceptibly brings us to health. Larry Cohen's Prevention Diaries captures this, the sensible vision, for the 21st century.
Richard J. Jackson, University of California, Los Angeles

"This most wonderful collection of inspiring stories gives me hope for the future! Larry Cohen dips into a lifetime's experience nurturing community-wide solutions - many of which have grown into state, federal, and even global policies with a powerful and enduring influence on all our lives. This is truly a must-read book for anyone interested in human health - and happiness!"
Patti Rundall, Baby Milk Action and International Baby Food Action Network
