Originally published in 1969, Comparability in Social Research is a
collection of essays from the British Sociological Association and
Social Science Research Council. The essays are the result of a
working group from the British Sociological Association, and a
response to the need for the development of sociological theory as
a scientific discipline. The essays examine the comparability of
data assembled by research, in several sociological fields. This
edited collection includes essays on the topic of education, family
and household, income and occupation.
Originally published in 1978, Health and the Division of Labour
examines problems and tensions experienced in health work. The
papers analyse inter- and intra-occupational rivalry and consider
the impact of new forms of managerial rationality upon the
traditional divisions of tasks and prestige in health work. The
issues raised here affect public policy in both Britain and the
USA: Americans can profit from British work on the position of
women in medicine, on unionisation and on managerialism, Britons
can learn from Americans work on the political context of both
social science and medicine, in looking at renal dialysis policy
and at the problems of fieldwork in Latin America.

Originally published in 1977, Health Care and Health Knowledge
presents some of the best new work being done in the field of
medical sociology. Developments in the field have been prompted by
both intellectual and social stimuli, and this book addresses the
issue of medicine as an element in the maintenance of social order.
The book studies how in the social context of medicine, health care
is now a substantial element of most countries gross national
product, and states that given this, there are inevitably strong
pressures for state interest and stare intervention to regulate the
allocation of national resources to secure the maximum social and
economic returns. This has drawn the sociologist into studying
medicine both as an institution and as a critical factor in the
development of social policy.
"...It is well-written and well-referenced...this is an important,
innovative, enjoyable textbook which can be highly recommended for
use in undergraduate and postgraduate sociology courses on health
related subjects, and which will be of value in courses on women's
studies and gender. It will also be of interest to inquiring health
care practitioners of whatever persuasion." - Sociology "This book
takes a bold step in pointing new directions for sociological and
social-historical studies of health and health care." - Social
History of Medicine Throughout the book, the division of labour in
health care, especially as it relates to social class and gender
divisions, is taken as central. Its particular characteristic, and
one that distinguishes it from other texts in this field, is that
feminist critiques of health care are considered alongside the
mainstream writing in the social history of medicine, and in
medical sociology. Part I takes an historical approach to the types
of healing knowledge, the modes of treatment, and the organization
of health care found in Europe over the last four hundred years.
Part II is a sociological analysis of contemporary health care
covering concepts of health and illness, the organization of the
National Health Service, the division of labour, the impact of
international capitalism, and the issues at stake in arguments
about human reproduction.
