Extremely useful for learning DA

Yes, it is a lot for a small book, but if you need a DA book that is fairly simple, names the key players in the history of DA, and is concentrated on using critical DA for healthcare research especially, very useful. Also helps find other resources for further research. Has a full length example of a DA as well, which is also helpful. Overall pretty good if you are looking for a down and dirty look at critical discourse analysis for healthcare research.
