Description:
Mammography is a routine health screening performed 40 million times each year in the United States, yet it remains one of the most deeply contested topics in medicine. In Mammography Wars, sociologist Asia Friedman uses the sociology of attention to map the cognitive structure of the "mammography wars."
Review Quotes:
"Friedman is a thorough researcher with a clear, engaging style. Her focus on patterns of attention as the organizing analytical framework is fresh and unusual: a fascinating read."
--Kelly Joyce "professor of sociology, Drexel University"
