Eggonomics
What happens when people are reduced to products? By pulling back the clinical curtain on the multi-billion-dollar per year global egg industry, that is the central question Eggonomics seeks to address. Tracing the emotional and physical journeys egg donors embark upon as suppliers of valuable commodities, this book reveals uncomfortable realities at the heart of the industry. Donors — and the eggs they provide — are absolutely essential to helping others create the families of their dreams. But not all clinics treat their donors as well as their paying patients, and many donors suffer as a result. Technological innovations allow the egg donation industry to expand, fueling the private e...
Introduccion a la antropología social y cultural
Este volumen va dirigido tanto al alumno indeciso que reflexiona seriamente sobre si revestirse del traje antropológico como a aquel que lo acaba de decidir. en él encontrarán ambos una guía preparatoria para iniciarse en la disciplina. De la mano de reputados expertos el lector entrará en el complejo mundo de la variedad social y la diferencia cultural, en todo un universo de imaginación y conocimiento plural. De esta manera, observando el arco de la humana posibilidad, según lo exhiben culturas distintas y distantes en tiempo y espacio, podremos ofrecer aportaciones iluminadoras para examinarnos a nosotros mismos. Esta invitación a la antropología presenta en cada capítulo tanto ...
Educación y salud en grupos vulnerables
El libro Educación y salud en grupos vulnerables nace del interés de profesionales e investigadores de la salud y la educación por radiografiar la situación de los principales grupos vulnerables en materia educativa y sanitaria, permitiendo, a través de esa interacción, conectar espacios de pensamiento y actuación en torno a las urgencias sociales del momento. Esta cartografía de la vulnerabilidad en los ámbitos socioeducativo y sanitario es especialmente acuciante en un contexto marcado por la crisis social, económica y migratoria, así como por los procesos de precarización a los que asisten los sectores menos privilegiados. La velocidad a la que se producen los cambios sociales y culturales, en un mundo globalizado, requiere de análisis y estrategias adaptación certeras. En ese sentido, el manual ofrece una compilación de aportaciones que buscan facilitar la actualización de las y los profesionales.
Romancing the Sperm
In this book Tober explores the intersections between sperm donation and the broader social and political environment in which "modern families" are created and regulated. The book provides information on family and kinship, genetics and eugenics, and how ever-expanding assisted reproductive technologies continue to redefine what it means to be human.

De la resistencia a la reacción
¿Qué definía a las derechas españolas de los años treinta? ¿Qué papel desempeñaron en la vida política de la Segunda República? ¿Qué sectores sociales les dieron su apoyo? Estas son algunas de las cuestiones planteadas en el presente estudio, que se centra en el análisis de los partidos y formaciones derechistas de la entonces provincia de Santander durante el período republicano, hasta el estallido de la Guerra Civil.
Advances in Understanding Engineered Clay Barriers
The use of clay barriers for waste-isolating purposes has gained increasing attention in the geotechnical engineering community. Practical interest is linked to fundamental research, which includes examination of the behaviour of compacted materials and expansive clays. The interaction between the barrier, waste and the surrounding ground may involve several thermo-hydro-mechanical and chemical-coupled processes that have been analyzed by means of 'in situ' tests, laboratory experiments and numerical modelling. Large-scale field tests have been developed in recent years by European Agencies dealing with the management of radioactive waste. These experiments have provided an opportunity to calibrate and to validate research models and offer benefits in terms of experience of instrumentation and installation techniques. The book includes about sixty papers presented in a symposium held in Spain in 2003. The four main topics of the book are: field emplacement and instrumentation techniques; fundamental research, material behaviour (i.e. bentonite), and laboratory testing; barrier behaviour and THM modelling; and chemical effects, HC and THMC modelling.
