'I read your book and found it easy to understand and informative,
without being too full of jargon. My previous experience of
sociology left me thinking that the social sciences were too
protective of their own information - in that the language used was
often designed to restrict its understanding, so it was a pleasant
surprise to find such "user friendly" language!' - Julie Rankin,
Student. Praise for the First Edition: 'The book is a great
introduction! it gives the students a sound basis, gets them
thinking and gives them the confidence to move on' - Sarah
Nettleton, University of York.'This book was a pleasure to read,
given its clarity and the broad spectrum of topics covered so
succinctly! It delivers a grounded and measured summary of the
sociology of health. Perhaps most importantly however, I feel it
achieves the task of promoting critical thinking and questioning in
relation to the medical model and our understanding of health as
anchored in the social world' - Zoe Hildon, Imperial College
London. The eagerly-awaited new edition of "Understanding the
Sociology of Health: An Introduction" (previously "Understanding
Health: A Sociological Introduction") brings together the best of
current thinking in the sociology of health and illness in a truly
'readable' and concise manner. Extensively revised and drawing on
the latest applied sociological research and new theoretical
insights into health and illness, "Understanding the Sociology of
Health: An Introduction" explores everything from health
inequalities to chronic illness; embodiment to research techniques;
and health care organisation to social theory. Though aimed
primarily at students on health and social care courses and
professions allied to medicine, this textbook provides valuable
insights for anyone interested in the social aspects of health.
