5.0 out of 5 stars
Making sense makes sense,
This review is from: Making Sense of Illness: Science, Society and Disease (Cambridge Studies in the History of Medicine) (Paperback)
This is a clearly thought out and clearly written discourse on how the forces that define and sanction "disease" are strong and operative within social, economic, and historical contexts. Taking such diseases as polio and lyme disease Aronowitz nicely traces these forces at work. His section on caridiology and the evolution of risk factors and Type A personality as similar social constructions and their impact is truly exquisite. Sensibility and perspective without hype or shallow ridicule.
