It will be an essential resource for teaching and research." "I've wanted a handbook like this on my desk for a long time -- one with broad coverage and extensive bibliographies. This is one of those books that you point to when a graduate student asks: i¿½?~How do I get started in ...?' The coverage of the 33 chapters is really impressive: from an exposition on the use of ethnographic case studies to a discussion of the globalization of health care; from a discussion of how people experience illness to a discussion of how best to measure health status and quality of life variable" --H.
