"An accessible and highly readable introduction to the Sociology of
Health and Illness through the inclusion of key theorists,
concepts, and theories, with reference to contemporary health
concerns and recent relevant research." - Kylie Baldwin, De
Montfort University "Guides us through the many reasons for the
centrality of health, showing clearly that health and illness are
the products not just of our biology but of the society into which
we are born...an authoritative analysis of the social nature of
health." - Ray Fitzpatrick, University of Oxford This bestselling
text introduces students to the core principles of the sociology of
health, demonstrating the relationship between social structures
and the production and distribution of health and disease in modern
society. Written with a truly sociological and critical
perspective, the book tackles themes such as class, gender and
ethnicity, and engages with a range of theories and theorists,
including Foucault, Fleck, Parsons, Weber, and Kuhn. The third
edition has been thoroughly updated to include the latest
cutting-edge thinking in the area, with new empirical examples,
updated references, and new sections on 'Thought Styles after
Fleck', and 'Transformations of the Medical Profession.' It also
uses helpful learning features including chapter overviews, case
studies, summaries and further reading suggestions, to provide
stimulating and thought-provoking exercises for students in health,
nursing and sociology schools.
