`The book is a great introduction… it gives the students a sound basis, gets them thinking and gives them the confidence to move on' - Sarah Nettleton, University of York
`This book was a pleasure to read, given its clarity and the broad spectrum to topics covered so succinctly…it delivers a grounded and measured summary of the sociology of health. Perhaps most importantly however, I feel it achieves the task of promoting critical and questioning in relation to the medical model and our understanding of health as anchored in the social world' - Zoe Hildon, Imperial College London
