Media Reviews

"For those specifically engaged in sociological work around gender (and/or masculinities) and health the book provides an excellent collection of recent, high quality, empirical and theoretically informed pieces." (Sociology of Health & Illness, 2011)

"This is, however, a provocative, important resource on men's health for all academic audiences, especially those interested in gender studies and health care." (CHOICE, March 2010)
