Originally presented as papers in the 1991 British Sociological
Association Conference on Health and Society, Locating Health
represents a valuable addition to the 'health inequalities' debate
by extending our gaze beyond the traditional locations to include
place, consumption and lifestyle. It offers reconceptualization of
key theoretical terms, including work, income, and public/private
domains as well as addressing the reciprocal influence of health
and social location, for example early retirement; and highlighting
the health consequences of multiple locations, such as gender and
class, gender and age.
Private Risk and Public Dangers is comprised of a collection of
chapters which were originally papers presented in the 1991 British
Sociological Association Conference on Health and Society, and they
address a range of private risks and public dangers. Issues covered
vary from the response to HIV and AIDS and 'foetal alcohol
syndrome' to the nature of accidents. These seemingly diverse
social situations within which emerges is that we need a more
sociologically informed understanding of the personal shading the
public dangers they are expected to manage.

The book takes a comprehensive approach to the complex process of
Planting Design. It shows how to choose and combine plants for
specific effects: for year-round colour and interest; for drama and
movement; and to overcome site difficulties. From initial vision to
finished planting, the book clearly explains the practical steps,
considerations, opportunities and decisions that need to be taken.
This process can be applied to readers' own gardens, and it will
also allow them to take their skills further into other people's
gardens.
