Second Edition of Health and Illness
Kevin White’s text on the sociology of heath and illness is now in its second edition.eSocHealth says that “The overall arguments being made are thoroughly sociological, and the chapters provide great overviews and insights that even those in the field will find useful. The chapters in the text are very stimulating, and White calls on a variety of perspectives to flesh out the arguments he makes. I would certainly recommend the text for introductory courses. The invigorating style should be attractive to students.”
