“It really covers all the points you wish to address in an undergraduate medical
sociology class.”
-William Haas, University of North Carolina at Asheville
“Effective in demonstrating the richness of the field of medical sociology in
addressing important social and organizational issues in health care.” “The
chapters are very well-organized, typically beginning with the basic descriptions of the
issues and of fundamental concepts before moving to more detailed descriptions.”
-Eldon Wegner, University of Hawaii at Manoa
“Solid theoretical grounding in sociological theory generally and medical sociology
in particular. This is a high quality accomplishment.” “The authors succeed in
providing a broad overview of seminal and current sociological research within medical
sociology.” -Diane Shinberg, University of Memphis

Globalization
And Health (International Studies in Sociology and Social Anthropology) - Book by
Richard L. Harris, MELINDA SEID
International contributors to a dozen essays treat these public health issues via
theoretical and pragmatic frameworks. A World Health Organization-sponsored paper
concludes that, for developing countries, comparative case studies may be more useful than
traditional health measures due to unreliable data.
