The first volume of a two-volume reader concerned with the findings of leading social scientists and medical researchers around the world. Contributors to this survey of the connections between social structures and public health, reveal that life expectancy, illness and other health factors are closely related to the structure of a given society, and that variations in health within a population are primarily related to socio-structural factors, including income inequality, educational differences, lack of opportunity and racism.
