    I wish this book had been published earlier so I could have assigned it for a course I'm teaching
  

*by N***M on Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2015*

I wish this book at been available earlier this fall, so that I could have assigned it for my class on state and local government! Dr. Farley's book reads like a fast-paced thriller recounting the health and well-being of New Yorkers. Farley's book is a useful text for understanding the particulars of New York City's most innovative public health solutions, however, more importantly, the book also offers unique insight into the jostling that goes into getting policies through at the local level. Dr. Farley's commentary regarding relations between state, local, and federal government is fascinating and highlights the complexity of associated with addressing public health crises.

*by R***G on Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2016*

A good introduction to what the NYC Department of Health & Mental Hygiene has been doing to improve the health of the city's populations.  Focuses on the battles against smoking, excessive sugar and salt in our food.  Well-written and fast-paced work by a former Commissioner of Health.  Somewhat triumphalist -- the city did succeed in many of these endeavors, but perhaps not quite as much as the author would have us believe, and somewhat hero-worshipping of his predecessor, Tom Frieden, whose leadership was indeed import and but appears exaggerated here.  It also leaves out discussion of some of the more serious arguments and controversies around the DOH policies, politics, and priorities.  A more thorough, more academic account, with a longer historical perspective, is available in James Colgrove, Epidemic City: The Politics of Public Health in New York (New York: Russell Sage Foundation, 2011), a fine book indeed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    It's like a great Vanity Fair article writ large
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2015*

Highly entertaining and informative. I didn't think you could write a book about public health policy and make it a "great read," but Farley has mangers just that. It's gossipy with out being salacious. Fascinating and insightful. It's like a great Vanity Fair article writ large.
