Description: | Select Guide Rating Third edition of Bryan Turner's seminal text on the body and social theory. One of the biggest authors in the field today. "This truly deserves to be considered a classic and I strongly encourage my students to read it from cover to cover. Turner''s work on the body needs to be considered in its own right within courses on the sociology of the body." "Remains the foundational text for courses in the sociology of the body, replete with insights and a depth of analysis that has largely inspired an entire new area of studies across the social sciences." Assured and innovative, this book provides the most authoritative statement of work on the sociology of the body by one of the leading writers in the field. |
