"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
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."
