Anotace:	Achieving good health is one of the major concerns of contemporary societies. Everyone is now called upon to play his or her part in creating a 'healthier' and more 'ecologically sustainable' environment through attention to lifestyle and involvement in collective efforts to manage risk. These strategies are the mainstay of the so-called 'new public health'.Petersen and Lupton focus critically on the new public health, assessing its implications for the concepts of self, embodiment and citizenship. They argue that the new public health is used as a source of moral regulation and for distinguishing between self and other. They also explore the implications of modernist belief in the power of science and the ability of experts to solve problems through rational administrative means that underpin the strategies and rhetoric of the new public health.
