Annotation	The publication of this volume marks the launch of the International Centre for Health and Society, whose aims are to provide policy-makers and the public at large with a scientific understanding of the social, economic and cultural determinants of a nation's health status. Medical health services and health-damaging behaviour have been the main concerns of public health policy and interventions in recent decades; the strengths and weaknesses of these approaches are examined. Most of the contributions focus on a particular aspect of social organisation and its relationship to health: environment and economic growth; the family and life course; and work and the labour market.
