Recenzje

If there is only one more one reads on social inequalities, this should be the one. It takes and all-encompassing focus moving from the biomedical to the psycho-social to the political and macro-economic model. The text is to a high standard and readable. ... Grounded in research, it takes a multi-faceted approach to inequalities and covers these numerous themes well in less than 250 pages. I really liked the way it drew on established theory and linked it well with the empirical research. ... The chapters are well-referenced and include very up-to-date references.
