Mind and Body Spaces Reviews

This book provides a significant contribution to the ever widening horizons of: disability and health geographies, (post)-medical geographies and geographies of mental ill health.Overall the book is very thought provoking and may herald the future direction for disability geographies. It will provide stimulating reading for both students and academics with an interest in this subject area - Louise Holt, University of Loughborough, 2002

In my opinion, this book is an extremely valuable addition to human geography, and the wider social sciences. - Louise Holt, University of Loughborough, 2002
