Zusatztext 'Be prepared for a robust account of ways in which society causes sickness! misery! and death in reading Peter Morrall's book Sociology and Health. He not only outlines how society makes people unhealthy! but encourages the reader (with examples) to take what he calls 'moral action' to make social conditions healthier - and then e-mail him about it.
