The authors of this excellent text define social epidemiology as the epidemiologic study of the social distribution and social determinants of states of health, implying that the aim is to identify socio-environmental exposures which may be related to a broad range of physical and mental health outcomes. In the first systematic account of this field, they focus on methodological approaches but draw widely from related disciplines such as sociology, psychology, physiology, and medicine in the effort to develop and evaluate testable hypotheses about the pathways between social conditions and health. The persistent patterns of social inequalities in health make this a timely publication.

This is an excellent compendium about an important topic. Concepts such as "social capital" are clearly explained, and the relevant research cited. Some of the articles are a bit clinical (e.g. depression) but the best of them are masterly reviews of an important field. All chapters have hundreds of references.
The book is also well produced: nice feel, good clean print etc. Well done OUP! (and no, I'm not an employee or shareholder.....)
