SELECTED AS A NEW SCIENTIST 'BOOKS TO EXPAND YOUR MIND' 'THOUGHTFUL ... EXAMINES THE BOUNDARIES OF MOTHERHOOD THROUGH AN UNUSUAL LENS: ARTIFICIAL WOMBS. ... A SKILLED WRITER WITH A CAREFUL GRASP OF HER SUBJECT AND ITS FASCINATING HISTORY' Angela Saini, Telegraph 'AN ENGROSSING INSIGHT INTO THE FUTURE OF BIRTH THROUGH THE LENSES OF THE MOST PRESSING WOMEN'S HEALTH ISSUES OF OUR ERA' New Statesman Throughout human history, every single one of us has been born from a person. So far. But that is about to change. Scientific research is on the cusp of being able to grow babies outside human bodies, from machines, for the very first time. Claire Horn takes us on a truly radical and urgent deep dive into the most challenging and pertinent questions of our age. Could artificial wombs allow women to redistribute the work of gestating? How do we protect reproductive and abortion rights? And who exactly gets access to this technology, in our vastly unequal world? In this interrogative and fascinating story of modern birth, Eve imagines with eye-opening clarity what all this might mean for the future of humanity.

A Jurisprudence of the Body
This book brings together a range of theoretical perspectives to consider fundamental questions of health law and the place of the body within it. Health, and more recently health law, has long been animated by discussions of particular bodies - whether they are disordered, diseased, or disabled - but each of these classificatory regimes claim some knowledge about the body. This edited collection aims to uncover and challenge the fundamental assumptions that underpin medico-legal knowledge claims about such bodies. This exploration is achieved through a mix of perspectives, but many contributors look towards embodiment as a perspective that understands bodies to be shaped by their institutio...
Labors of Fear
How work and capitalism inspire horror in modern film.
On looking into words (and beyond)
While linguistic theory is in continual flux as progress is made in our ability to understand the structure and function of language, one constant has always been the central role of the word. On looking into words is a wide-ranging volume spanning current research into word-based morphology, morphosyntax, the phonology-morphology interface, and related areas of theoretical and empirical linguistics. The 26 papers that constitute this volume extend morphological and grammatical theory to signed as well as spoken language, to diachronic as well as synchronic evidence, and to birdsong as well as human language.
Biotechnology, Gestation, and the Law
We are all the result of gestation: the process of becoming before birth. The very nature of human gestation, however, has shifted and will continue to shift as a result of technology. Uterus transplantation and ectogestation, and the novel modalities of gestation beyond sex and beyond bodies that they potentially make possible, raise unique conceptual problems that have received little attention. Biotechnology, Gestation and the Law presents the first comprehensive ethico-legal analysis of the nature of gestation and of technologies enabling gestation, offering a concept analysis grounded in ontology, phenomenology, politics, and law. The first three chapters develop a transdisciplinary app...
International Legal and Ethical Perspectives on Uterus Transplantation

Interdisciplinarity in the Scholarly Life Cycle
This open access book illustrates how interdisciplinary research develops over the lifetime of a scholar: not in a single project, but as an attitude that trickles down, or spirals up, into research. This book presents how interdisciplinary work has inspired shifts in how the contributors read, value concepts, critically combine methods, cope with knowledge hierarchies, write in style, and collaborate. Drawing on extensive examples from the humanities and social sciences, the editors and chapter authors show how they started, tried to open up, dealt with inconsistencies, had to adapt, and ultimately learned and grew as researchers. The book offers valuable insights into the conditions and complexities present for interdisciplinary research to be successful in an academic setting. This is an open access book.
But He's Not My Dog
When carefully chosen and set down in the proper order, words have the power to convey ideas and information, and to encourage, support, motivate, excite and amuse. In this collection of essays, Sara Bloom demonstrates mastery over all of those components. From a lovingly conceived essay about her father, to her hot fudge sundae secret to weight loss, and the laugh-out-loud escapades of life in the suburbs with husband, children, job, and animals domestic and wild, Sara Bloom shares her observations, her wit, and her individual view of the world.
Playback and Studies of Animal Communication
Playback is the technique of rebroadcasting natural or synthetic signals to animals and observing their response. The ability to present a putative signal in isolation, without the potential confounding effects of other activities of the signaller, is the main reason for the depth and range of our knowledge of communication systems. To date, playback of sound signals has predominated, but playback of electric signals and even video playback of visual signals suggests that playback will become just as prevalent in studies of communication in other sensory modalities. This book is one of the outcomes of a workshop on playback held at Thombridge Hall in the Peak District National Park, England ...
