Reviews
"'Elizabeth Wheatley's Bodies at Risk is a delight. It takes us to the heart of the experience of heart disease and is a timely advance in our understanding of social aspects of risk, embodied reflexivity and the emotions. These eloquent stories of ""reskilling"" in the face of imponderable risks and threats offer something to us all, as we negotiate risk society in our all too frail bodies.' Robin Bunton, University of Teesside, UK '...this book is not just about heart disease but provides a great resource for researchers and teachers who analyze the social and other determinants of health. Perhaps it should also be compulsory reading for all hospital ethics committees.' Health Sociology Review"
