The Routledge International Handbook of Critical Issues in Health
and Illness is a multidisciplinary reference book that brings
together cutting-edge health and illness topics from around the
globe. It offers a range of theoretical and critical perspectives
to provide contemporary insights into complex health issues that
can offer ways to address inequitable patterns of illness and ill
health. This collection, written by an international pool of expert
academics from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, is unique in
providing theoretical and critical analyses on key health topics,
considering power and broader social structures that influence
health and illness outcomes. The chapters are organised in three
parts. The first covers medical contexts; here, chapters provide
commentary and critical analysis of the history of medicine,
medicalisation, pharmaceuticalisation, services and care, medical
technology, diagnosis, screening, personalised medicine, and
complementary and alternative medicine. The second part covers life
contexts; chapters include a range of life contexts that have
implications for health, including gender, sexuality, reproduction,
disability, ethnicity, indigeneity, inequality, ageing, and dying.
The third part covers shifting contextual domains; chapters
consider contemporary areas of life that are rapidly changing,
including bioethics, digital health, migration, medical travel,
geography and "place", commercialisation, globalisation, and
climate change. The Routledge International Handbook of Critical
Issues in Health and Illness is a key contemporary reference text
for scholars, students, researchers, and professionals across
disciplines, including sociology, psychology, anthropology,
geography, medicine, public health, and health science.

Social media has helped boost the culture of intoxication, a
central aspect of young people's social lives in many Western
countries. Initial research suggests that these technologies enable
highly-nuanced, targeted marketing and innovations - creating new
virtual spaces that alter the dynamics and consequences of drinking
cultures in significant ways. Youth Drinking Cultures in a Digital
World focuses on how pervasive social networking technologies
contribute to drinking cultures. It brings together international
contributions from leading researchers in this emerging field to
explore how new technologies are reconfiguring the key themes,
traditional interests, practices and concerns of alcohol-related
research with young people. It is particularly concerned with three
important areas, namely: identities, social relations and power
alcohol marketing and commercialisation public health and
regulating alcohol promotion. This innovative book includes
original research and commentary and is a must-read for academics
and researchers in the areas of public health, psychology,
sociology, media studies, youth studies and alcohol studies.
