The collection conveys a keen purview of the representation of health and illness through sociological, clinical, cultural, and historical lenses of understanding and interpretation. Teachers, scholars, and clinicians, as well as anyone working in the health sciences seeking to understand how humanistic inquiry contributes to understanding health writ large, will find this volume enormously valuable. --L.
