The inspiring story of how we overcame a history of infectious disease, poisonous environments, and early death and unlocked an explosion in human potential--and a vision for the work ahead to optimize human flourishing in the twenty-first century

"Michelle Williams understands what too many have forgotten: Individual wellness and collective well-being are inseparable."--Arianna Huffington, founder and CEO of Thrive Global

Public health is an unusual discipline--a combination of science, sociology, politics, and logistics--with a simple goal: to create the conditions for human thriving. Despite a century of massive improvements in our health and quality of life, Americans--reeling from our disastrous pandemic response, epidemics of depression and isolation, and a failing healthcare system--are understandably distrustful of public health. But the true history of public health doesn't just reveal one of the greatest feats in human history--our great escape from early death and infectious disease--it points toward a future of even greater improvements. The cure for everything? It's all of us, working together for our collective health.

Michelle A. Williams, one of the country's true innovators in public health, here tells the dramatic hidden history of public health in America: a story of how radicals and renegades--from W.E.B. Du Bois to Alice Hamilton to the activists of ACT UP--and the institutions and infrastructure we built together helped transform our world. As she takes readers through these dramatic stories, she draws out their deeper lessons. In the end, she makes a powerful argument that it is public health that should drive our country's policies and politics--that if our policies fail to increase the health and well-being of everyone, regardless of race or economic status, we have failed as a society.

Here is a dramatic, sweeping history with a galvanizing vision for how we can address new threats and complete the unfinished business of public health.

Great tennis shoes!!
Size: 4.5 Big Kid, Color: Black/Orange
The best shoes my son had this past year. He loves them and has worn them continuously, not only for running and training, but also for daily use. He really likes them and says they are very comfortable.

Size up
Size: 2 Big Kid, Color: Black/Pink
My daughter loves them. However they run a size small so we had to size up. She is anywhere from a 13-1 and we had to get a 2 in these. Overall great show and quality. She also just learned how to tie her shoe (7yo) and they are easy for her to tie. Style is great for running and sports too. Overall great value for the money.

These shoes make a great first impression, but beware of the stingy toe box.
Size: 13.5 Wide Big Kid, Color: Black/Orange
These shoes make a good first impression. They look sharp and appear to be well-made for running shoes. They also get bonus points for having actual laces instead of the common velco/fake laces combo. However, my son struggled to get them on at first due to limited room in the toe box. He has wide feet as well as high arches and the shoes were very snug across the top of his foot initially. Once he got them on, we determined that they were both wide enough (which is a rarity in itself) and the right size – just tight across the top. I actually had to remove the insoles to get them on his feet at first. After a few minutes I tried again with the insoles and he wore them around the house for a few hours, at which point the upper material had relaxed and/or the footbed had started to take on the shape of his foot, in effect creating more wiggle room. By then he didn't want to take them off, so they must have gotten more comfortable after that brief break-in period. If they were still too tight I'm sure he would have complained. I'll update the review if the shoes wear out prematurely or there is anything else noteworthy to report.
