Peterson A, Lupton D. The New Public Health: Health and Self in the Age of Risk. St Leonards, NSW: Allen and Unwin, 1996. I would recommend this provocative book. A "Richard M.

Basically, I am looking for fairly recent papers that provide a critical evaluation of the translation of social science concepts into public health research and practice. I know this discussion has emerged (often) in the social capital and health literature, but I am unaware of any work that examines this issue in a more general manner. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please reply directly to me using the e-mail address below unless you think it may benefit the entire list. Thanks!
