Reviews

'This is an excellent book which is clearly written, well thought out and makes good use of relevant material to illustrate its central concerns. Each chapter allows the reader to move from basic ideas to a more sophisticated understanding of key aspects of social theory!The book as a whole is very useful for students wanting to get to grips with how various aspects of medical sociology connect to wider themes in sociology and the social sciences.' - Dr Paul Higgs, Professor of the Sociology of Ageing, UCL
