This authoritative volume is a rich source of information and penetrating analyses regarding the diverse pathways by which society influences health. Widely recognized scholars from North America and Europe discuss the immediate social environments of family, workplace, and community and the more pervasive effects of race and gender relations, social class, culture and the political economy.
What is presented here, in an unusually coherent uniting theme for an edited collection, is the 'society and health perspective' on epidemiology and public health ... this volume may well prove to have been an important landmark in the debate on the relationship between society and health. * Mel Bartley, City University, London, Social History of Medicine, Vol. 9, No. 3, 1996 *
