The 62 articles in this reader represent the varied and controversial perspectives of the contributors - including academic researchers in the natural and social sciences and health-care professionals. The book also includes extracts from several "classic" texts written on this subject in the 20th century, five specially-commissioned articles and many articles which are not easily accessible elsewhere. The editors have grouped the articles under seven headings: concepts of health, disease and healing; experiencing health and disease; influences on health and disease; the role of medicine; the social context of health care; health work; and prospects and speculations. Each section has a short introduction, which draws the reader's attention to common themes and sharp discontinuities.

"It is hard to know where to begin to praise this new edition of Health and Disease...The second edition,I believe, is even better than its predecessor. The 62 papers are an excellent blend of the historical 'seminal' paper and some of the mostinfluential new works published recently related to health and disease...It is inconceivable that any reader could fail to find something of interest in this book, and most who thumb through it in the library,will return to it so often that they will rapidly want to acquire their own copy. This is a 24-carat goldmine of a book - Nursing Times "...an excellent collection."- New Zealand Medical Journal
