""This welcome third edition offers a critically updated conceptual, practical and historically informed guide to why work on describing, causally analysing and changing health inequities must tackle embodiment, class, gender and racialization as well as the political, economic and commercial determinants of health."" Nancy Krieger, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health ""Social inequalities in health are a major challenge in all countries. This wonderfully clear book achieves something special: it provides insight both for people coming fresh to the topic and for those already steeped in it. Much to be recommended."" Michael Marmot, UCL Institute of Health Equity
