Reviews

No doubt, students, researchers and others interested in critical realism and health will find the insightful discussion of this difficult, yet important, topic very useful. Ebenezer Durojaye, University of the Western Cape This is such an exciting offering for those, like me, who find critical realism intuitively and practically appealing, but also partly opaque and difficult. I look forward to using this book in my research and with my students. Tom Shakespeare, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine This engaging handbook powerfully demonstrates the value of critical realism for health and illness research. Essential reading for social theorists exploring the applicability of critical realism for health and illness researchers searching for a better theoretical foundation. Douglas Porpora, Drexel University
