`An intelligent and informed account of medical sociology. Simon Williams has produced an original and comprehensive sociological statement of the centrality of the body to an understanding of medicine, health and illness. His scope is impressive, including among other topics sleep, childhood, disability and ageing. It will shape future teaching and research in the field of health and illness' - Bryan S Turner, Professor of Sociology, University of Cambridge
I don’t think I would use this book for further or higher education level study. It is very factual and evidenced based, which is great if that is what you are after. However, it is very word heavy with no pictures – overall not what I was looking for and it requires a lot of intense studying. The content of the textbook is good, with relevant evidence and references to back up studies that were conducted.
