Reviews / Votes
"The book will be useful to medical anthropologists, public health workers, and other health care providers...Recommended." * Choice"Challenging the notion that some diseases are non-communicable, [this book] offers an original and coherent argument for rethinking the relations between the biological and the social, but also for thinking through the communicability of conditions through the social, using concepts such as contagion and contamination, configuration and conflagration." * Ruth Jane Prince, University of Oslo

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
