Readers will develop a clear understanding of what sociology is and why it is essential to practice, gain deeper awareness of social issues such as gender, ethnicity, class and the life course, and become more familiar with the social contexts of health policy and nursing as a profession. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith updates in every chapter, the third edition includes a new chapter on research methods, a reorganized collection of chapters on health policy, extended coverage of long-term illness and disability, as well as contemporary case studies on topical healthcare issues such as dementia, the ‘obesity epidemic’ and recent attempts to integrate health and social care. In addition, the book provides clearly defined learning aims, a useful glossary of sociological concepts, structured activities and questions for discussion, and annotated suggestions for further reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe editors and contributing authors to the book have a wealth of experience teaching sociology to nurses at diploma and degree pre-registration and post-registration levels. Their book will continue to spark interest and debate among all student nurses, particularly those approaching sociology for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease visit the accompanying website at: \u003cb\u003ehttp:\/\/www.politybooks.com\/sociologyfornurses\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eElaine Denny\u003c\/b\u003e is Emeritus Professor of Health Sociology at Birmingham City University \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSarah Earle\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in Health \u0026amp; Social Care at The Open University \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlistair Hewison\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer of Nursing at the University of Birmingham\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e05 July 2016\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolity Press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781509505418\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e384\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44380390817932,"sku":"9781509505418","price":44.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781509505418_b94725fc-0cb9-4807-ad45-e4c1eaddaf4a.jpg?v=1780201153","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781509505418","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
