"Hygiene: a manual of personal and public health" by Arthur Newsholme is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work serves as a comprehensive guide to hygiene principles, focusing on the importance of personal and public health practices. It explores the relationships between nutrition, environmental conditions, and health, highlighting preventive measures against diseases to improve health standards. The opening of the book sets the foundation for understanding hygiene by tracing its historical significance and evolution. It draws connections between classical mythology’s figures representing health and early health practices detailed in the Mosaic law. Newsholme discusses the historical prevalence of infectious diseases and poor health conditions among populations due to ignorance of hygiene principles, while emphasizing the significant progress made over the last century in disease prevention and health improvement. As he introduces the key components of hygiene—food, water, and air—Newsholme prepares the reader for a detailed exploration of hygienic practices essential for individual and community health.
