Review This book will challenge the approach and deepen the understanding of health communication under the holistic model where politics, propaganda, and public health are connected. The chapters provide an in-depth analysis of the complexities that exist in commercial enterprise and the balance between products, profits, politics, and social benefits. The book represents an enormous step forward in commercializing social awareness and social marketing fully into the field of health communication implementation. Its insights into practice of social cognition theory in Merck's campaign are invaluable for any serious reader of behavioral economics in this contemporary society. The centrality of addressing the public trust and influence of corporate interests in campaign messages makes this publication an essential contribution to the capacity building of public health and health communication as well.
