Health and Other Unassailable Values

Meer over het boek

Examining health as a core cultural value, and taking 'health', 'evidence' and 'ethics' as her primary themes, Bell explores the edifice that underpins contemporary conceptions of health and the transformations in how we understand it, assess it and enact it. Although health, evidence and ethics have always been important values, she demonstrates that the grounds upon which they are grasped today are radically different from how they were formulated in the past.
