'This timely book fills a significant gap. It is the first truly interdisciplinary textbook on business and human rights. Written by one of the world's leading authorities in the field, it offers a rich and engaging account of one of the most vibrant fields contemporary national and international law and policy. Tracing the field from its historical roots in the 1990s it takes the reader masterfully through the main conceptual issues and significant legal and policy developments, offering throughout a strong analytical and critical eye on the subject. I recommend Prof. Wettstein's book unreservedly.' Peter Muchlinski, Professor of International Commercial Law, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London

'The Cult of Youth is an excellent study of how medical sciences and commercial activities intersect and interact, and how these encounters both shape, and were shaped by, public attitudes about health, vitality, and aging. By framing rejuvenation as a social movement and medical practice, this study clearly demonstrates the im-portance of rethinking the value of pseudomedical and paramedical spaces where health discourses occurred.' Jaipreet Virdi, Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences
