Dear Sandra
Welcome to the list (of which I am only a very marginal
member). You might like to have a look at the following
books.
D Blane et al (eds) Health and Social Organisation
R Wilkinson - Unhealthy Societies
F Drever and M Whitehad - Health Inequality
World Health Organisation pamphlet The Solid Facts
Mary Shaw et al - The Widening Gap
L Berkman et al (eds) Social Epidemiology
M Marmot, R Wilkinson (eds) Social Determinants of Health
Ben Amick et al (eds) Society and Health
M Bartley et al (eds) Sociology of Health Inequality
and another book edited by Clyde Hertzman which is
very recent and has a title something like Development
Health and Wealth of Nations
To other colleagues, perhaps you also would like
to add to this list and we can start compiling
a bibliography which will be helpful to people
