| Annotation | This book aims to bridge the subfields of sociology of science and technology and sociology of medicine, and to increase dialogue between sociologists researching science and technology related to health from different perspectives. Drawing on research from the United Kingdom (UK), Europe, Australia, Japan and North America, it examines the relationship between science and clinical practice, and the development, assessment and regulation of pharmaceutical products and health care technologies. Other topics covered include the implications of the 'new genetics', and the public understanding of science and medicine in the context of chronic disease, such as musculoskeletal disorders. |
