Recenzii

'The book reviews innovative health technologies and associated everyday practices of health as expressions of social relationships...[it] draws a complex map of relationships that sketches the state of the literature on sociological studies on health and technology today [and] will be particularly appealing to academics with advanced knowledge of the field of sociology of health and illness.' - Sociology
