When Law and Medicine Meet: A Cultural View

"At times difficult scientific and legal concepts are discussed in an entirely clear, accessible way - in an engaging even-paced writing style."

"The O.J. Simpson trial is particularly gripping; going beyond an analysis of assessing scientific methods in a court of law, the authors insightfully discuss ideological interpretations that 'facts' and perceptions engender in terms of race, class, and ethnicity."

"The authors are accomplished professionals who have spent a lifetime studying and practicing the subjects they address and who have reached in surrounding disciplines to take and make connections for all concerned. This is medical anthropology at its most thoughtful and practical."
