'This handbook is an ideal reference for those in public heath, health promotion and general practise. The chapters follow through each stage of life, from youth to maturity, allowing readers to quickly find the information that they need." e male, Australian Mens Helath E Bulletin.
'The strength of this work lies in the range of statistics presented and these, along with policy, legal and practical issues, have been collated from three major countries; the UK, US, and Australia. Collectively, this international focus means that few gaps or uncertainties are left in the information contained in the book... I think for nurses or other health professionals that are engaged with the bio-medical aspects of assessing and treating men's physical health concerns, this would provide a useful ready reference guide.'
Steve Robertson, Senior research fellow, University of Central Lancashire, UK
