Encyclopaedia of Health Safety Science, Technology and Engineering

Encyclopaedia of Health Safety Science, Technology and Engineering divided into Three Volumes with thirty six chapters deals with the Nature, Scope, Role of health care administration and its relationship with socio-economic development. It analyses the challenges of Health and Hospital care administration in the context of the developing countries. The Encyclopaedia aims to provide readers with comprehensive overview of health research as an integrated, problem- solving process. The layout takes the reader logically through the stages of research; planning, design data collection and statistics, directed by a clear contents and index. Each chapter is neatly composed. Early chapter focus is purely on scientific method, research design, planning data collection, with later chapters dealing with interpretation of data (descriptive) statistics, inferential statistics and dissemination and critical evaluation of research). This book may not be of great interest to the general practitioner who is not involved with research, but will certainly be of use to undergraduates studying their statistics module, and hospital staff involved in research. In summary this book is well written and concise the text can be difficult to digest in places but this reflects more the subject matter than the manner of writing. One criticism would be the limited referral to referencing within the test. this would help the Academicians, National Health Officials, Public Health Administrators, Medical Research Workers and the Policy Makeres and Planners in the proper understanding of Health Care Delivery System.
