This book has and will continue to be essential introductory reading for students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels in the social and health sciences and those in professional training who have an interest in the sociology of health and illness. It is comprehensive in its scope addressing a broad range of key sociological concepts which relate to the analysis of health, illness and health policy. This third edition contains accessible, updated entries on many of the concepts addressed in previous editions but also introduces much needed analysis of salient concepts such as on pandemics and epidemics, sexuality, intersectionality, the environment, medical tourism and digital health.
