The feel-good place to buy books
The Sociology of Health and Illness by Sarah Nettleton
Provides an introduction to debates within the sociology of health and illness. This book includes discussions of the genetics, food and eating, e-health, the MMR debate, embryo stem cell research, recent approaches to health inequalities, and the health implications of the information age.
In The Sociology of Health and Illness, Sarah Nettleton provides a lively, balanced, up-to-date introduction to medical sociologyWhile drawing extensively on British literature and experience, it ought to be widely adopted in the United States, where there is a need for the new perspectives being developed by our British colleagues. I would recommend it as a textbook for undergraduate sociology: it also discusses issues of interest to health economists, health services researchers, and health care policy-makers.
