Taylor & Francis Ltd Understanding the Politics of Pandemic
Book SynopsisThis book reviews the political significance of COVID-19 in the context of earlier pandemic encounters and scares to understand the ways in which it challenges the existing individual health, domestic order, international health governance actors, and, more fundamentally, the circulation-based modus operandi of the present world order. It argues that contagious diseases should be regarded as complex open-ended phenomena with various features and are not reducible merely to biology and epidemiology. They are, as such, fundamentally politosomatic, namely that they disrupt, agitate, and trigger large-scale processes because individual somatic-level anxieties stem from individuals' sensing immediate danger through the networks of their local and global connectedness. The author further argues that pandemics have somatic effects in political expressions that transform the epidemic into national security dramas which should not, for the sake of efficient health governance, be treatTrade Review"Mika Aaltola has made a highly important contribution to the understanding of how pandemics impact geopolitics. He shows how the COVID-19 pandemic has done so in ways similar to previous — and probably future — pandemics."Mark N. Katz, Professor, George Mason University Schar School of Policy and Government, USA; Chairperson, Scientific Advisory Council, Finnish Institute of International Affairs."Thinking back to 2012 about the impact of major pandemics on global politics was a visionary act. Revisited in the light of COVID-19, this book vindicates all the research hypotheses put forward by the author ten years ago.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Alcohol Crime and Public Health
Book SynopsisAlcohol, Crime and Public Health explores the issue of drinking in the criminal justice system, providing an overview of the topic from both a criminal justice and a public health perspective. The majority of prisoners in the UK (70%) have an alcohol use disorder, and evidence tells us that risky drinking is high amongst those in contact with all areas of the criminal justice system. Uniquely, this book brings both a criminal justice and a public health perspective to the topic. The book opens by exploring the levels of crime attributed to alcohol, the policy context of alcohol and crime, and the prevalence of risky alcohol consumption in the criminal justice system. The following chapters examine risky drinking amongst men, women and young people in the criminal justice system. The final chapters look at the efficacy of psychosocial interventions for risky drinking in the criminal justice system, and look forward to how researchers and practitioners can work together to prTable of ContentsCHAPTER 1 - What do we mean by public health, criminal justice and alcohol use disorders?CHAPTER 2 - The policy context of alcohol and crimeCHAPTER 3 - Prevalence of risky alcohol consumption amongst adults in the criminal justice CHAPTER 4 - Risky drinking amongst men in the criminal justice systemCHAPTER 5 - Risky drinking amongst women in the criminal justice systemCHAPTER 6 - Risky drinking and brief interventions for young people in the criminal justice systemCHAPTER 7 - The efficacy of psychosocial brief alcohol interventions for risky drinkers in the criminal justice systemCHAPTER 8 - The way forward: researchers and practitioners working in a co-productive way to produce research in the criminal justice system

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Body in Everyday Life The New Sociology
Book SynopsisWe all have a body, but how does it impact upon our day to day life? This book sets out to explore how ordinary women, men and children talk about their bodies, through four central themes:-* physical and emotional bodies* illness and disability* gender* ageing.A coherent collection of such empirical research, The Body in Everyday Life provides an accessible introduction to the sociology of the body, a field previously dominated by theoretical or philosophical accounts.Trade Review'A fascinating and wide-ranging collection that is bound to engage the reader with new ideas and understandings.' - Laura Potts, Health Matters Issue 36 Spring 1999'A significant contribution to research relating to the embodied self as experienced in daily life and real world situations.

Taylor & Francis Womens Health and Social Change
Book SynopsisShortlisted for the BSA Sociology of Health and Illness Book Prize 2009Traditional distinctions between the experiences of women and men are breaking down and being reconfigured in new, more complex ways. The long-established life expectancy gap between men and women appears to be closing in many affluent societies. Many men appear to be far more âbody and health consciousâ than they ever were in the past and there are perceptible changes in womenâs âhealth behavioursâ, such as increases in cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption.Ellen Annandale provides a comprehensive and persuasive analysis of the contemporary social relations of gender and womenâs health, arguing that the once all important sex/gender distinction fosters an undue separation between the social and the biological whereas it is their interaction and flexibility that is important in the production of health and illness. New theoretical tools are needed in a world where the meaning anTrade Review"...include(s) nuanced and thought-provoking investigations of the body-versus-body-politic debate, the glorification of natural childbirth by 1970s-era radical feminists, the limitations of gender difference research, the deleterious impact of late capitalism on biomedicine, the pitfalls of postfeminism and the "body project," amd the weakening of health-oriented women's activism caused by identity politics and extreme individualism."-- Choice, July 2009'' Ellen Annandale’s book on women’s health and social change is a landmark text'' ''A beautifully written book, with flowing prose and some nice pieces of visual imagery that help bring the arguments expressed to life. Each of the seven chapters is well crafted as both a standalone piece of writing and as a building block for the book as a whole. The key points made and the arguments advanced in each chapter are well drawn out and summarised.'' ''This book will be equally rewarding for both those new to the area of gender and health, and those who have worked in it for some time. It represents both an excellent overview of work in this area and insightful analysis that contributes to long-running debates and suggests potentially fruitful directions for new work.''-- Sociology of Health & Illness, 2010Table of ContentsIntroduction 1. Recovering gender and health in history 2. Making connections: feminism, sociology and health 3. Two traditions of research on gender and health 4. Women, health and reproduction 5.
