Debating biology

de Simon J. Williams, Lynda I. A. Birke, Gillian Bendelow

Takes a fresh look at the relationship between biology and society as it is played out in the arena of health and medicine. Bringing together contributors from both biologists and sociologists, the book is divided into five themed sections: theorizing biology, structuring biology, embodying biology, technologizing biology, ans reclaiming biology. This book should appeal to a wide audience within and beyond the social sciences, including students, lecturers and researchers in health and related domains.
