have made an outstanding contribution to the
sociology of health and illness?
The BSA Medical Sociology Group wishes to

2002 conference to the author/s or editor/s of
the book judged to have made the most
significant contribution to the sub-discipline
and having been published in the 3 years
preceding January 2002. We welcome
nominations from colleagues who are BSA
members and who have not been involved in
editorship or authorship of the book that they
nominate. There is no restriction on the
nationality of the authors, editors or publishers
of the book and no restrictions on the topic,
style or genre of the book, although it must be
in English. Nominations can be made on the
attached form and must arrive by 31st
January 2002.

committee is supplied with four copies for
distribution to members of the prize
committee (BSA Medical Sociology Group
convenor, 2 other committee members and a
co-opted senior sociologist of health and
illness) who will draw up a short-list of 3 books
in April 2002. Summaries of the three books
will appear in the summer edition of Medical
Sociology News.
