Recenzii

"I think the audience for this book would be very wide from interested lay persons to medical anthropologists/sociologists.  Also this is an important topic for medical professionals and public health scholars.  It does offer a critical perspective as well – which does not dominate the book - but is very important for many scholars.  I also think it is highly readable and would be of interest to students – upper level undergraduates to graduate students (for example I would use this book in my Medical anthropology course - 300 level)."  Michael J. Oldani, Anthropology, University of Wisconsin, Whitewater
