Description

Th book is divided into three sections: Locating Health Care, with essays on homecare, globalization, and a comparison of the Canadian system with the British National Health Service; Locating Evidence, with essays on research in health services, women, and the pharmaceutical industry; and Locating Risk, with essays on work, environmental contamination, and poverty.
