[Aniebiet Abasi Akpan]

Some of the case studies were genius and compelling but most of them were run of the mill design gigs with no evidence shared that they made an impact. Also some of the designer comments about the premise were pretentious but that comes with the territory

Book worth reading if you are interested in pubic health and health promotion. I wish there were additional examples or resources to further myself interest.

Fascinating.
