Reviews

Prize: Professor Cecil Helman was the winner of the 2008 George Abercrombie Award, one of the highest awards given by the Royal College of General Practitioners and awarded to 'the person who has made an outstanding contribution to the literature of general practice'. 'Some very distinguished and oft-cited contributors have been included alongside some less well-known but nevertheless interesting and accomplished scholars and practitioners, making the book well-rounded and accessible to many audiences. As medical anthropology is an eclectic and multidisciplinary area of study, the editor is to be commended for aiming to make it relevant to as wide a readership as is possible.' Health Sociology Review 'There is a good deal of material of interest in this volume...' Health and History
