Eligible books for the 2014 prize will have been published after the 1st January 2011 and before December 2013.
Last year's FSHI Book Prize was awarded to Michael, J. Montoya for his book Making the Mexican Diabetic http://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520267312 , so if you have someone in mind who you feel is deserving of the £1,000 award and the accolade, please make your nomination soon - as the nomination deadline is the 28th March, 2014. Nominations should be accompanied by a short piece (100-500 words maximum) giving the
reasons why the book has been nominated.
Nominations must be submitted using the FSHI Nomination Form http://www.britsoc.co.uk/medical-sociology/medsoc-sociology-of-health-and-illness-book-of-the-year.aspx . We also require three copies of the nominated books, so please either contact the publisher of your favourite book directly, or state on the form that you require the BSA to contact the publisher for you. Either way, we need to receive 3 copies of the book and the nomination form in the BSA Office http://www.britsoc.co.uk/about/Contact.aspx by Friday, 28 March 2014.
