3.      An Anthropology of Biomedicine

An Anthropology of Biomedicine was the winner of the 2010 Prose Award for Archaeology and Anthropology. The book gives a radical insight into the implications of the application of various biomedicine technologies and its global implications. The authors describe the societal changes which can be brought upon by the application of biomedical technologies. The book is a perfect introduction of biomedicine from an anthropological perspective and explores the merging of material bodies with history, culture, and environment.The authors hypothesize a new anthropological aspect of integrating health and illness with biomedicine. The book has numerous case studies and references to illustrate these aspects and theories.
