Taylor & Francis Ltd Phobic Geographies The Phenomenology and
Book SynopsisDespite recent estimates that there are currently 10 million people in the UK suffering from phobias, there is a substantial and conspicuous gap in existing academic literature and research on this topic. This book addresses this gap in relation to geography literature, but also extending beyond this field to connect with a wide range of academics, health professionals and phobic ''others'' whose ideas are (re)formed by fear. In doing so, it provides non-clinical, specifically geographical insights into phobia, of relevance for its sufferers and expands human geographical understandings of the relations between gender, embodiment, space and mental health, via a study of agoraphobia. This book argues that a critical geographic perspective is better placed to take account of the importance of wider social contexts and relations, and can give a fully spatialised account of the disorder more faithful to the way sufferers actually describe their experiences. By drawing attention to some Trade Review'Joyce Davidson provides a powerful and highly original interpretation of phobias, and at the same time helps all of us to think afresh about ordinary, everyday experiences at the boundaries between our selves and our environments. By exploring phobic experiences, Davidson sheds new light on what it means to be a gendered, embodied and situated subject.' Professor Liz Bondi, The University of Edinburgh, UK 'This book does a wonderful job in weaving together a sophisticated theoretical framework with the voices and experiences of women. Each enriches the other in ways that will surely make a creative contribution to the work of a wide range of readers.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Contemporary PhysicianAuthors
Book SynopsisThis book examines the phenomenon of physician-authors. Focusing on the books that contemporary doctors write--the stories that they tell--with contributors critically engaging their work. A selection of original chapters from leading scholars in medical and health humanities analyze the literary output of doctors, including Oliver Sacks, Danielle Ofri, Atul Gawande, Louise Aronson, Siddhartha Mukherjee, and Abraham Verghese. Discussing issues of moral meaning in the works of contemporary doctor-writers, from memoir to poetry, this collection reflects some of the diversity of medicine today. A key reference for all students and scholars of medical and health humanities, the book will be especially useful for those interested in the relationship between literature and practising medicine.Trade Review"Contemporary Physicians-Authors demonstrates that most of today's writers speak in a self-aware, reflective voice that keeps them close to the ground, while they also retain the flexibility to take a more bird's-eye view to comment, report, and advocate. The book's primary audience is academic (e.g., students and professors of medical humanities), but anyone who has read a few or more of these authors is likely to find something of interest and perhaps discover a brand-new author to investigate."-Jack Coulehan, Journal of Medical HumanitiesTable of ContentsIntroduction.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Embodied Progress
Book SynopsisThis new edition of Sarah Franklin's classic monograph on the development of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) includes two entirely new chapters reflecting on the relevance of the book's findings in the context of the past two decades and providing a state-of-the-art' review of the field today.Over the past 25 years, both the assisted conception industry and the academic field of reproductive studies have grown enormously. IVF, in particular, is belatedly becoming recognised as one of the most influential technologies of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, with a far-reaching set of implications that have to date been underestimated, understudied and under-reported. This pioneering text was the first to explore the emergence of commercial IVF in the United Kingdom, where the technique was originally developed. During the 1980s, the British Parliament devised a unique system of comprehensive national regulation of assisted reproduction amidst fractious public and media Table of ContentsIntroduction to the 1st edition. Introduction to the second edition. 1.Conception among the anthropologists. 2.Contested conceptions in the enterprise culture. 3.The ‘obstacle course’: the reproductive work of IVF. 4.‘It just takes over’: IVF as a ‘way of life’. 5.Hhaving to try ‘and ‘having to choose’: how IVF ‘makes sense’. 6.The embodiment of progress.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Curriculum of the Body and the School as
Book SynopsisThis collection brings together cutting-edge research on the history of embodiment, health and schooling in an international context. The book distinguishes a set of educational technologies, schooling practices and school-based public health programmes that organise and influence the bodies of children and young people, defining the curriculum of the body.Taking a historical approach, with a focus on the period in which mass schooling became an international phenomenon, the book is organised according to four major themes. The first positions the school as a modern clinical space, followed by the second that explores programmes and curricula which influence the discipline of and care for the body. The third section examines the role of the built environment on the organisation and experience of children's bodies, and the final section outlines the pedagogies, rules and routines that determine how the body is treated and experienced in school.International and multidisTable of ContentsIntroduction: Bodies, health and schoolingKellie Burns and Helen ProctorPart 1: Clinical practices1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The 14 Day Rule and Human Embryo Research
Book SynopsisThis assessment of Britain's influential 14 day rule governing embryo research explores how and why it became the de facto global standard for research into human fertilisation and embryology, arguing that its influence and stability offers valuable lessons for successful biological translation.One of the most important features of the 14 day rule, the authors claim, is its reliance on sociological as well as ethical, legislative, regulatory and scientific principles. The careful integration of social expectations and perceptions, as well as sociological definitions of the law and morality, into the development of a robust legislative infrastructure of human fertilisation and embryology', enabled what has come to be known as the Warnock Consensus a solid and enduring public acceptance that has enabled successive parliamentary approval for controversial areas of scientific research in the UK, such as stem cell research and mitochondrial donation, for
