Content
Composed entirely of specially commissioned chapters by some of the outstanding scholars in medical sociology, this edition reflects important changes in the study of health and illness. In addition to updated and reconceived chapters on the impacts of gender, race, and inequality on health, this volume has new chapters on topics that include: social networks, neighborhoods, and social capital; disability; dying and "the right to die"; health disparities; the growing influence of the pharmaceutical industry; patient safety; evidence-based medicine and quality of care; health social movements; genetics; religion, spirituality, and health. Chloe E. Bird (editor), Peter Conrad (editor), Allen M. Fremont (editor), Stefan Timmermans (editor)

Book condition
An important factor of a second-hand book is the condition of the book. The buyer may not be surprised. Always mention damages or defects. We use a system with 3 stars:
The book is acceptable: you have used it to study and made notes and markings – but everything is still readable. The cover and pages are in good condition.
The book still looks good: there are a few notes in it and you marked it. There are hardly any signs of use on the cover and pages
The book is (almost) new: you have not written or marked in it. There are no signs of use on the cover and pages
