Best books lists are the ultimate opinion pieces. In this editorial, this journal's editorial team go out on a big science limb together and proclaim the 25 books relating to the health promotion profession that we consider "must reads." While several of our selections are standard bearer textbooks that have informed the training of graduates from Schools of Public Health for several decades, many of our best books finalists are best-selling books that have garnered tremendous accolades in the popular press. This best books list for health promotion professionals has been published on publicly accessible blog sites and I invite readers to visit those sites and weigh in with their reactions and recommendations for books that they believe should be included in future lists.
最佳书籍清单是最具主观意见的。在这篇社论中,本刊的编辑团队大胆地一起发表了 25 本与健康促进专业相关的书籍,我们认为这些书籍是“必读之选”。虽然我们的一些选择是标准的教科书,几十年来一直为公共卫生学院的毕业生提供培训,但我们的许多最佳书籍入围者都是畅销书,在大众媒体中获得了极高的赞誉。这份健康促进专业人员的最佳书籍清单已经发布在公共访问的博客网站上,我邀请读者访问这些网站,对他们认为应该包含在未来清单中的书籍发表意见和推荐。
