Is Work Good for Your Health and Well-being? Gordon Waddell, A Kim Burton. 2006. Increasing employment and supporting people into work are key elements of the Government's public health and welfare reform agendas. This independent review, 'Is Work Good for Your Health and Well-being?', commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions, examines scientific evidence on the health benefits of work, focusing on adults of working age and the common health problems that account for two-thirds of sickness absence and long-term incapacity. The study finds that there is a strong evidence base showing that work is generally good for physical and mental health and well-being, taking into account the nature and quality of work and its social context, and that worklessness is associated with poorer physical and mental health. Work can be therapeutic and can reverse the adverse health effects of unemployment, in relation to healthy people of working age, for many disabled people, for most people with common health problems, and for social security beneficiaries. paperback, 246 pp. ISBN 0117036943. $50.00

Concepts of Rehabilitation for the Management of Common Health Problems. :Gordon Waddell, A. Kim Burton.  Jun 2004. There is now broad agreement on the importance of rehabilitation and the need for better occupational health and vocational rehabilitation services in the UK1. The responses to the Green Paper Pathways to work were generally supportive across the political spectrum (DWP 2003b). The key features of early intervention, easier access to more skilled support to seek and move into work, the development of new work-focused rehabilitation programmes, and engagement of key stakeholders - particularly employers and family doctors - were welcomed by a wide range of organisations. However, there is considerable uncertainty about what 'rehabilitation' is, and about its (cost)-effectiveness, particularly for the common health problems that cause most sickness absence and long-term incapacity. Key Features: Aims to develop a theoretical and conceptual basis for rehabilitation of common health problems, with the goals of job retention, return to work and reintegration; To consider the implications for: healthcare and clinical management; employers, trade unions and insurers and occupational health; rehabilitation policy. 98 pp. paperback.

Birth Counts.
Statistics of Pregnancy and Childbirth.
Alison Macfarlane. 2000.
Controversies and concerns about maternity care continue to create a demand for statistics but many people involved in these debates are still unaware of the vast range of information collected by government departments and the National Health Service (NHS). This publication brings together and reviews statistics about pregnancy, childbirth and newborn babies, the health services provided for them, and the social, economic and environmental factors which can affect the outcome of pregnancy. The first volume is a critical guide to the statistics, showing how some of their limitations result from the historical context in which the collection of data developed. Data from many sources is included in the second volume, which consists of over 350 tables on subjects such as geographical variations, social class differences and time trends in births and infant mortality, place of birth, staffing of maternity services and the costs of having a baby. Most of the data is for recent years, but some data for earlier periods is included, along with historical time series. Paperback, 2 volumes, Vol. I: xxvi + 447 pp., Vol. II: xxx + 673 pp.

Cancer Trends in England and Wales 1950-1999.
Mike Quinn et al. 2001.
This book brings together into one comprehensive reference source information of the cancer burden in England and Wales, making this report essential reading for cancer specialists, researchers and medical librarians. The report provides both summary and more detailed information on trends in cancer incidence, mortality, prevalence and survival at the national and regional levels during the second half of the last century. For example, "Between 1950 and 1999, the proportion of deaths due to cancer rose from 15 to 27 per cent for males and from 16 to 23 per cent for females." The summary chapter ensures that readers who only require an overview can quickly access information on the incidence of and mortality from all malignant cancers for nine of the most important individual cancer sites, the prevalence of major cancers, and details of survival trends by age, sex and socio-economic deprivation. Researchers will then benefit from the report detailed results on incidence, mortality, prevalence and survival which are presented in 20 separate chapters for each of the main cancer sites which together constitute almost 90% of all malignancies in both males and females. Each chapter also includes a brief description of the epidemiology of the particular cancer, its global significance, known or suspected causes, risk factors and treatment. It also features a chapter on several types of childhood cancer which together constitute 82% of all childhood cancers.

The Challenge of Hospital Acquired Infection.
The National Audit Office (NAO). 2001.
This title considers the combating of infections caught by patients while being treated in hospital. It highlights the issues of which all NHS employees must be aware in the fight to reduce the severity of this problem. NAO Director Karen Taylor, principal author of the book, says: 'Hospital acquired infections are a serious issue for patients and staff. Our report last year had a marked impact in raising the profile of this problem which, according to estimates, each year costs the NHS some £1 billion and leads to the deaths of as many as 5,000 patients. This book reviews the findings and the numerous departmental initiatives taken since then. In the light of these, it examines the information and resources needed by infection control teams and clinicians. And it details the actions which those who work in hospitals can and should take to help prevent and control these infections.' Providing an overview of developments since the NAO report published 18 months ago, this title also highlights the recommendations of the Public Accounts Committee in November 2000 and the Government's response in February 2001 which contained new NHS initiatives. The book also presents material from the NAO's June 2000 conference on hospital acquired infection, at which the Government launched its UK Antimicrobial Resistance Strategy and Action Plan.

Children in the New Millennium.
Environmental Impact on Health.
United Nations Environment Programme, UNICEF & World Health Organization. June 2002.
Children throughout the world continue to be exposed to a series of environmental threats to their health, physical and mental development, and even their survival. Preliminary estimates suggest that up to one-third of the global burden of disease can be contributed to negative environmental indicators, such as polluted water and air. This book from the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) concludes that prevention is the only sustainable solution, and that a healthy future for children around the world can only be ensured by safeguarding the environment they live in.

Comparative Study on Borderline Products and Borderline Situations.
Council of Europe Publishing. 2001.
The main purpose of the survey is to clarify the situation in various European countries as regards the classification of certain categories of products, known as “borderline” or “fringe”, and to establish whether the latter should be classified as cosmetic products or as pharmaceuticals, medical devices, biocidal products, foodstuffs or general consumer products. The national delegations which took part in this exercise considered it important to obtain a clearer picture of the “classification situation” of these categories in Europe. This has a bearing on the responsibilities of their national authorities in ensuring at all times that their legislation sufficiently protects the consumer’s health when using different kinds of products.

Cosmetlex.
The Rules Governing Cosmetic Products in the European Union.
European Commission. 2000.
In the early 1970’s, the  Member States of the EU decided to harmonize their national cosmetic regulations in order to enable the free circulation of cosmetic products within the community. As a result of numerous discussions between experts from all member states, Council Directive 76/76/EEC was adopted. The principles laid down in the Cosmetics Directive take into account the needs of the consumer while encouraging commercial exchange and eliminating barriers to trade. For example, if a product is to move freely with in the EU, the same labeling, packaging and safety regulations must apply. Paperback, 3 volumes: Vol I: 74 pp, Vol. II: 187 pp, Vol. III: 74 pp.
