Recenzje

"The third edition of Cockerham's classic text on the social causes of health and illness is most welcome. Notable features of this masterful and comprehensive contribution are the coverage of theory as well as research, its international reach and its erudition. This will be an indispensable volume for teachers, students and practitioners alike." Graham Scambler, Emeritus Professor of Sociology at University College London and a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences "As in the previous editions, Cockerham presents us with a powerful understanding of the social determinants of health. This time, he updates his perspective, weaving in novel dynamic dimensions from life course research and important structural elements from social capital." Bernice A.
