"This book on the theory, methodology and application of ethnography is a timely, important and scholarly contribution to the contemporary turn to the study of real-world experience in healthcare research. (Trisha Greenhalgh, Professor of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford, UK)"Taking up the idea that ethnography is not simply a method, but an overall research orientation, this exciting collection demonstrates the value of situating things in their local context, and revealing connections across diverse aspects of social life. Whilst this is now an approach adopted by a range of disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, science & technology studies and geography, this volume highlights the value of researching health practices through the interrogation of apparently mundane and routine features. It reveals how seemingly inconsequential details shape ideas about what health is, and how health can be done. As a result, this book compellingly demonstrates how ethnography itself can serve as a highly productive intervention that has the potential to reframe key matters relating to health, illness and lived experience. (Simon Cohn, Professor of Medical Anthropology, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK)"Many of the pioneers of contemporary ethnography studied settings of health care, and the ethnographic tradition flourishes today. The contributors to this volume all bear testimony to the diversity and significance of ethnographic work. Together they demonstrate the value of close attention to the institutional and interpersonal processes within which health work is embedded. (Paul Atkinson, Distinguished Research Professor in Sociology, Cardiff University, UK).
