“Comprehensive coverage of all necessary topics.”
-Dr. Robert D. Ruth, Davidson College

-Eldon Wegner, University of Hawaii at Manoa

Sociology of Health, Healing, and Illness,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Sociology of Health, Healing, and Illness (6th Edition) (Paperback)
The book came quickly--it arrived 1 week after I placed the order. The book was in good condition as the seller had stated. Only the cover was slightly bent--everything else was (and is) in great condition.
