American Pediatrics - The Social Dynamics of Professionalism, 1880-1980

"A first rate book. . . . It is such a pleasure to read a historical work by a sociologist who goes to the primary sources."—Gert H. Brieger, M.D., The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

 

"Halpern has chosen a strategic research site, and has exploited it with theoretical precision, with a good sense of empirical strategy, and with exceptionally clear writing. We have learned a good deal about pediatrics, a good deal about specialization, and a great deal about the strategy of study of the origins of institutions."—Arthur L Stinchcombe, Northwestern University
