How do we make sense of health and experience it? \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e There are no simple answers to these questions. Health is complex, subjective and varied. Drawing on theory, research and contemporary debates, Ruth Cross explores the nature of health in depth and challenges our thinking about it. Moving beyond taken-for-granted assumptions, she gives the meaning of 'health' its due attention, exploring everyday perspectives as well as 'expert' medical, academic and policy understandings and approaches. In doing so, the book brings together different knowledge and expertise on health, also considering the inextricable links between human and planetary health.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book is important for all those working in the health field, or training to do so, seeking a broad understanding about health and all its complexity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ruth Cross\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509556494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509556496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/04\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Ruth Cross","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46747754987775,"sku":"9781509556496","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4f0ca394-7371-4af1-9187-609704fa3a67.jpg?v=1743584641","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-is-health-ruth-cross-9781509556496","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
