Textbook
Good book!
by Jonathan C. Anthony
Must Have Text for Social Disparities In Illness
I have to believe that this is the number one text in studying the field of Medical Sociology that exists in the market. It gives a comprehensive and thorough view of the health care system, with particular reference to the USA. It’s viewpoint is that disease, a biological condition, and illness, how society reacts to disease is a social construction. This book takes aim at how society as a whole victimizes and discriminates against the disabled and ill, based upon subjective prejudices. It pays close attention to gender, race, age, and socio-economic status and how those interweaved factors, play into the fate of an indivduals health over a life time. Very easy to read, and the authors knowledge on the topic is superb. I would recommend this text to anyone in the health care industry.

Sociology
Just what I expected
by Nichole Sheppard
Front cover cut and beat up looks used but was sold as new
I bought the new book listed but it looks like I was given the used book for the ânewâprice. The used was showing 34.00 so I opted for the new at 68.00 but instead I got ripped off for about $40.
