520 "The New Blackwell Companion to Medical Sociology offers
insights into the substantive topics of central interest
in medical and health sociology. Coverage ranges from
standard subjects such as theory, health and social class,
racial and gender stratification, stress and health
professions, to relatively new and engaging topics like
bioethics, genetics and society, newly emerging infectious
diseases, and links to neuroscience."--Jacket
