Reviews

In this deeply researched and well-argued book, Tracey Adams provides a valuable comparative examination of professions in four Canadian provinces with an eye to testing several key sociological theories. It is historical sociology done well, and the book should be essential reading for anyone examining the history of professions in the Anglo-American world. -- Dan Malleck, Brock University * <em>Social History of Medicine</em> *
