John Mirowsky
-Mirowsky and Ross have done the population health community a
splendid service by presenting a compelling and complex story for
the relationship between social status and health and identifying
many important contentious issues for future theoretical debate and
empirical exploration. I highly recommend [Education, Social
Status, and Health] to all health researchers interested in the
social and economic determinants of health and well-being.- --Gerry
Veenstra, Canadian Journal of Sociology Online -John Mirowsky and
Catherine Ross have made important contributions to this field,
especially to our understanding of the relationship between
educational attainment and health. . . . In this book, they
summarize their prior research and venture some further personal
thoughts on the connection between education and health. The result
is a provocative review of the research and opinions of two leading
figures in the field.- --James S. House and Brian Goesling,
Contemporary Sociology -It is a systematic and comprehensive study
of empirical research from two very productive sociologists.-
