This new text for courses in Medical Anthropology, one of the hottest areas in the discipline as a whole, looks at CULTURAL definitions of health to look at health itself--which means that it is not so much about healing/medicine as it is about the entire social/cultural construct of health. The text attempts to bridge the gap between physical and cultural approaches to medical anthropology.

Research vignettes in every chapter highlight important, current studies being conducted all over the globe and give the book a cutting-edge feel lacking in competing texts.
Chapter-opening outlines, end-of-chapter summaries and review questions, highlighted key terms, and ample photographs and illustrations help to make the material more accessible to students.
Uniquely blended, balanced coverage of BOTH the physical and cultural approaches to medical anthropology.
