The Milbank Memorial Fund and the University of California Press jointly sponsor the California/Milbank Books on Health and the Public. The books in this series place in historical and contemporary context significant policy issues in health care and public/population health.  The audience for these books includes researchers and advanced students in public health and health policy as well as decision makers.  The most recent books in the series examine collaboration in making and implementing policy to improve health in low-income countries; the experience of William Foege, a leader in global health; the legislative process leading to the passage of the Affordable Care Act; and the politics of policymaking for research and regulation of pharmaceutical drugs during the past half century.
