The Body in Late Modern Society
Slutsåld
Nick Crossley has been involved in this area of research for over ten years and was very much involved in the first large wave of interest in British sociology. He has published one book already in the area (The Social Body, 2001), as well as a string of papers and articles, and is contributing a chapter of 'The Sociology of the Body' to a new international handbook of sociology.
