The Social Construction of Disease (Routledge Studies in the History of Science, Technology
Posted on 2010-04-28

Author: Kim
Publisher: Routledge (2006) Binding: Hardcover, 253 pages pricer: $170.00 ISBN-10: 041536051X editorialreviews A historical exploration of scientific disputes on the causation of so-called 'prion diseases', this fascinating book covers diseases including Scrapie, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), and Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). Firstly tracing the twentieth-century history of disease research and biomedicine, the text then focuses on the relations between scientific practice and wider social transformations, before finally building upon the sociologically informed methodological framework. Incisive and thought-provoking, "The Social Construction of Disease" provides a valuable contribution to that well-established tradition of social history of science, which refers primarily to the theoretical works of the sociology of scientific knowledge.
