Locating Health Care, with essays on homecare, globalization, and a
comparison of the Canadian system with the British National Health
Service; Locating Evidence, with essays on research in health services,
women, and the pharmaceutical industry; and Locating Risk, with essays on
work, environmental contamination, and poverty.
