Society and Medicine - Essays in Honor of Renee C.Fox (Hardcover)

The essays in this volume pay tribute to the achievements of Renee C. Fox in the fields of medicine and sociology. Many of the contributors are Fox's colleagues and current and former students from medicine, sociology, nursing, and bioethics. The title -- Society and Medicine -- reflects the leitmotif in Fox's work: her studies of and teaching about the nature of medicine and medical research; the training and work of their practitioners; the interrelationships between medicine and the societies and cultures of which it is a part; and, above all, the moral and spiritual dimensions of the healing arts. The essays reflect the influence of her scholarship and teaching upon their authors, each of whom is a colleague or has studied with her, but this book is not a "festschrift" in the conventional sense. That is, although the essays recognize, and in many cases pay tribute to, her work, Society and Medicine is not a collection about the corpus of Renee Fox's writings and their influence. Rather, the topics addressed are connected, in various ways, to themes Fox has explored over the years in her own journeys in to the field, or the journeys she has inspired others to make.
