Waldram (psychology, U. of Saskatchewan), D. Ann Herring (anthropology, McMaster U.), and T. Kue Young (public health sciences, U. of Toronto) update their 1995 study to take advantage of the notable expansion in research and publication on Canadian Aboriginal health issues and a proliferation of health-oriented Web sites that have made the research and its policy implications much more widely available. Their account is a generalist historical and contemporary review that is national in scope and combines the methodologies and perspectives of epidemiology, history, and anthropology. They reference more specialized works that in turn reference original research. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
