What does health mean to people? 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.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1: What is Health?\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: Dimensions of Health\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3: Models of Health\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4: Determinants of Health\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5: Health as Wellbeing\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6: Health as Happiness\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7: Creating Health\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 8: Health and Our Planet\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Sociology%20\u0026amp;%20anthropology%20%5BJH%5D%22\"\u003eJH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52501152956696,"sku":"9781509556496","price":15.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509556496.jpg?v=1786213030","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/what-is-health-paperback-softback-9781509556496","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
