The Handbook of Social Studies in Health and Medicine is to be published by
Sage Publications in the Summer of 1999. It reflects a distinctive collaboration between
the disciplines of sociology and social anthropology and is the product of scholars from
North America, Europe and Australasia all of whom responded to a challenge posed by the
editors who invited a distinguished group of social scientists to provide authoritative
overviews of their fields of expertise together with 'horizon scanning' of where they felt
the field was going. To give shape to the book an international editorial board was
identified and consulted about topics and potential authors. They were also involved in
providing review and feedback to authors as chapters appeared. The final product comprises
32 chapters and some 370,000 words of text intended to be an essential resource for
courses in the sociology and anthropology of health and illness and for researchers
involved in promoting the health of populations via the contribution of social science and
understanding of the social significance of health and health care at the turn of the
millennium.-
