Understanding the Sociology of Health by Anne-Marie Barry
A great inroduction to provide students with a sound basis for understanding the sociology of health. The book is easy to understand and informative, without being too full of jargon.
"'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"
