Reviews

'A well-crafted account of the work of several contemporary theorists in sociology in relation to their relevance for medical sociology. It has the potential to be highly influential in stimulating new insights and uses of the work of theorists sometimes overlooked in medical sociology' -- William C. Cockerham, Distinguished Professor of Sociology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, USA
