'Place is an important element in understanding health and health care disparities.
More that merely a geographic location, place is a socio-ecological force with detectable
effects on social life, independent well-being, and health. Despite the general enthusiasm
for the study of place and the potential it could have for a better understanding
of the distribution of health in different communities, research is at a difficult
crossroads because of disagreements in how the construct should be conceptualized
and measured. This edited volume incorporates an cross-disciplinary approach to the
study of place, in order to come up with a comprehensive and useful definition of
place. Topics covered include: Social Inequalities, Historical Definitions of Place,
Biology and Place, Rural vs. Urban Places, Racialization of a Place, Migration, Sacred
Places, Technological Innovations An understanding of place is essential for health
care professionals, as interventions often do not have the same effects in the clinic
as they do in varied, naturalistic social settings.'--Provided by publisher
