Health, Illness, and the Social Body by Peter Es Freund
For undergraduate courses in Sociology of Health and Illness, Medical Sociology, Medical Anthropology, Urban Studies, Social Medicine, and Nursing, this text presents a critical, holistic interpretation of health, illness, and human bodies that emphasizes power as a key social-structural factor in health and in societal responses to illness.
Peter Freund was born and raised in Romania. During his student days, he was arrested by the notorious Securitate and placed in front of a firing squad. Obviously they did not fire. He managed to leave for the West and has been a professor of Physics at the University of Chicago since 1965. Beyond his scientific papers, Peter Freund has published fiction in Exquisite Corpse and other literary magazines. His A Passion for Discovery addresses a general audience. He is the author of two short story collections: West of West End and Tales in a Minor Key.
