The readings have been carefully selected, introduced, and interpreted for an introductory or graduate student readership by a distinguished medical sociology team. While some of the early science was inaccurate, lacking sufficient data, or otherwise incomplete, the author team has selected the most important and reliable early work for teachers and students in courses on medical sociology, public health, nursing, infectious diseases, epidemiology, anthropology of medicine, sociology of health and illness, social aspects of medicine, comparative health systems, health policy and management, health behaviors, and community health. Global in scope, the book tells the story of what happened and how Covid-19 was dealt with. Much of this material is in clinical journals normally not considered in the social sciences that are nonetheless informative and authoritative for student and faculty readers. Their selection and interpretation for students makes this concise reader an essential teaching source about Covid-19. An accompanying online resource on the book’s Routledge web page will update and evolve by providing links to new readings as the science develops. "-- ER -
