Julian M. Murchison (Author)
This book provides a brief, to-the-point book that is grounded in ethnographic research, written expressly for use in medical anthropology courses—that is, structured to highlight concepts and issues typically examined in such classes and to make overt the connections between ethnographic detail and big concepts.
