This debate-style reader is designed to introduce students to controversies in health and contemporary society. The readings, which represent the arguments of leading social scientists, health care professionals, and social commentators, reflect a variety of viewpoints and have been selected for their liveliness and substance and because of their value in a debate framework. Each issue is thoughtfully framed with an issue summary, an issue introduction, and a postscript or challenge questions. "Taking Sides" readers feature an annotated listing of selected World Wide Web sites.
