"A great text: revised and updated for students of health, whatever
their discipline or background. Changes in science, technology and
our understanding of the body are among the many important topics
covered. Mildred Blaxter writes in a lucid style and has a command
of her material that is second to none. Highly recommended."

"Updated and with new material, this book provides a fascinating
insight into the phenomenon of health and how it is defined,
constructed, expressed and experienced. Written in a clear and
engaging style, it is an indispensable resource for students and
researchers in the health and social sciences."
Ellen Annandale, University of Leicester
"This fine book takes sociological perspectives of health as a
point of departure, while at the same time increasing our
understanding of illness. Students and professionals alike will
benefit from Blaxter's clear and succinct presentation."
Peter Conrad, Brandeis University
