It draws together a range of empirical work on different themes, each taking the body and its study as its central problematic. It creatively combines contributions on disability, illness, scars, sleep, complementary medicine, and running, as well as the lifecourse themes of childhood, youth and death. The different approaches to reaching the body examined through these contributions include autobiography, case studies, interviews, and participant observation.Cunningham-Burley, Sarah is the author of 'Exploring the Body' with ISBN 9780333775950 and ISBN 0333775953.
