Sporting Gender
The Tokyo Olympic Games are likely to feature the first transgender athlete, a topic that will be highly contentious during the competition. But transgender and intersex athletes such as Laurel Hubbard, Tifanny Abreu, and Caster Semenya didn’t just turn up overnight. Both intersex and transgender athletes have been newsworthy stories for decades. In Sporting Gender: The History, Science, and Stories of Transgender and Intersex Athletes, Joanna Harper provides an in-depth examination of why gender diverse athletes are so controversial. She not only delves into the history of these athletes and their personal stories, but also explains in a highly accessible manner the science behind their g...

Attention Deficit
They say love can save you. They never said it could kill you too. Twenty years in the future, a mysterious energy—tention—has rewired the human mind. Now, simply looking at someone transfers power to them. Lose too much, and you die. But if enough people focus on you, you can live forever. Mila has a plan: become a movie star, gather all the tention she needs, and secure her immortality. But fame is fickle, and when her career crumbles, she turns to music—and the city listens. With every performance, her power grows. But something is wrong. A new kind of killer stalks the streets, draining victims dry. And powerful forces are watching her, waiting. Mila is drawn into a battle for control of tention itself, one that could reshape the future—or end it entirely. To survive, she must push beyond the limits of fame, love, and even life itself. Because in a world where attention is everything, the wrong kind of fame can be deadly. If you loved the underground music revolution of Sarah Pinsker’s A Song for a New Day and the high-stakes dystopia of In Time, Attention Deficit will pull you into a future where fame isn’t just power—it’s survival.

All Day Long
Nearly all of us have to work, but how much do we really know about what other people do all day? What is it like to be a fishmonger, a sex worker or an Orthodox rabbi? Or a banker, a research scientist or a carer? How do our jobs affect our lives, beliefs and happiness? And what happens when we don't work? Joanna Biggs has travelled the country to find the answers, talking to interns and bosses, professionals and entrepreneurs, thinkers and doers. She takes us from Westminster to the Outer Hebrides, from a hospital in Wales to the industrial Midlands, introducing us to different worlds of work and the people who inhabit them. Rich with the voices of the wealthy and poor, native and immigrant, women and men of the UK in the twenty-first century, All Day Long shows us who we are through what we do.

Cripping Intersex
Intersex and/as/is/with disability. The connections between intersex and disability deserve nuanced attention if we are to strengthen intersex human rights claims and understand the experiences of intersex people living with the disabling consequences of medical intervention. Cripping Intersex examines three key themes: the medical management of people with intersex characteristics; the mainstream fascination with sport sex-testing policies and procedures; and the eugenic implications of preimplantation genetic diagnosis. Celeste E. Orr investigates how intersex and interphobia intersect with disability and ableism to propose a new approach to intersex studies and activism. The integration of feminist disability studies with intersex studies provides tools to break down the traditional sex dyad and the entrenched cultural mandate against intersex traits. This necessary work offers a radical new understanding of intersex-with-disability, pushing analyses of intersex histories, experience, and embodiment further than feminist or queer theory can do alone.
