Description

Putting Health into Place draws together original works that collectively argue for a reinvention of medical geography.

There is a growing interest worldwide in relationships between human health and the experience of place, an interest driven both by developments in sociocultural theory and observed health concerns.

Thisbook is a resource for those wishing to explore or to teach beyond the frontiers of conventional medical geography.

As the first word of the book's title suggests, this is an active volume, one that contributes to situating health in the simultaneously tangible, negotiated, and experienced realities of place.

Robin A. Kearns and WilbertM. Gesler argue that medical issues are a necessary but insufficient focus in developing geographies of health and healing.

This contention is supported by the authors of the thirteen substantive chapters who convey research findings from the Americas, Britain, and the Pacific.

This book represents a collective commitment to exploring links between social and cultural theory, ideas about place, and discourses on health that will be of interest to readers across the social and health sciences.
