      abstract = {This book is a study of disciplines and their  specialities. It poses sociological questions about the  formation of intellectual fields and their social  relations, and offers an in-depth, historical study of one  of the largest specialities of the discipline of sociology  - the sociology of health and medicine - across three  countries: the United States of America, Britain and  Australia. Employing a radical new theory of disciplines,  this book reveals unexpected connections between the ideas  of sociologists and the context they work within. It  answers questions about where they work, who they cite and  collaborate with, and highlights distinct differences in  the practice of sociology from one country to the next. In  doing so, this book offers evidence of the effects of  sweeping changes to the university sector and the global  publishing industry on the working lives of sociologists,  not least the impact of commercial research sponsorship on  the knowledge they produce.},
