    - Displacement, Livelihood and Health in Cyprus
    by Peter Loizos
    £24.99 - 97.49

The author argues for a closer collaboration between anthropology and the life sciences, particularly medicine and social epidemiology, but suggests that qualitative life-history data have an important role to play in the understanding of how people cope with collective stress.
