It will be of interest to students of philosophy, science and the social sciences, and critical thinking.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sanctioning Pregnancy: A Psychological Perspective on the Paradoxes and Culture of Research
Pregnancy provides a very public, visual confirmation of femininity. It is a time of rapid physical and psychological adjustment for women and is surrounded by stereotyping, taboos and social expectations. This book seeks to examine these popular attitudes towards pregnancy and to consider how they influence women’s experiences of being pregnant.Sanctioning Pregnancy offers a unique critique of sociocultural constructions of pregnancy and the ways in which it is represented in contemporary culture, and examines the common myths which exist about diet, exercise and work in pregnancy, alongside notions of risk and media portrayals of pregnant women. Topics covered include: Do pregnant women change their diet and why? Is memory really impaired in pregnancy? How risky behaviour is defined from exercise to employment The biomedical domination of pregnancy research. Different theoretical standpoints are critically examined, including a medico-scientific model, feminist perspectives and bio-psychosocial and psychodynamic approaches.

Taylor & Francis Ltd English Stage Comedy 1490-1990
First published in 2004. English stage comedy has weathered centuries of social and theatrical change. How did it survive? English Stage Comedy 1490–1990 is a unique and beautifully written study of the comedy of the English stage from the Tudor period to the late twentieth century. Organized thematically, it shows how this remarkably enduring genre has dealt with the tensions of social life, using its conventions as tools for social inquiry. Through an examination of comedy Alexander Leggatt demonstrates that an approach through genre, neglected in recent criticism, can have much to say about our current concerns with the relations between literature and society. English Stage Comedy 1490–1990 surveys five centuries of classic comic drama, focusing on major playwrights such as: Shakespeare, Jonson, Etherege, Wycherley, Congreve, Vanbrugh, Goldsmith, Sheridan, Wilde, Shaw, Coward, Orton, Ayckbourn and many lesser-known figures.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Thomas Chatterton: Early Sources and Responses
The revival of interest in medieval life and literature during the 18th century led to a fanatical search for antiquarian literary treasures - forgers such as James Macpherson, William Henry Ireland and Thomas Chatterton provided them to their willing and eager patrons. Chatterton wrote on scraps of old parchment and posed it as the work of Thomas Rowley and others.The publication of Thomas Tyrwhitt's first collection of Rowley poems in 1777 gave rise to a heated literary controversy regarding their authenticity. This is a collection of the major contemporary contributions to this controversy - all of them extremely rare.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Vortex Structures in a Stratified Fluid: Order from Chaos
A fully systematic treatment of the dynamics of vortex structures and their interactions in a viscous density stratified fluid is provided by this book. The various compact vortex structures such as monopoles, dipoles, quadrupoles, as well as more complex ones are considered theoretically from a physical point of view.Another essential feature of the book is the close combination of theoretical analyses with numerous examples of real flows.The book further provides real physical insight and base for postgraduate students specializing in geophysical and applied fluid dynamics. Among the family of vortex structures considered in the book, the most remarkable are the vortex dipoles. These are fundamental elements of the complex chaotic flows associated with the term 'two-dimensional turbulence'. The appearance of these structures in initially chaotic flows is currently of great interest because of a myriad of geophysical applications. Specific examples include the mushroom-like currents discovered from satellite images of the upper ocean. The book is well illustrated with many original photographs (some in colour) and diagrams.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Feynman Lectures on Computation: Anniversary Edition
The last lecture course that Nobel Prize winner Richard P. Feynman gaveto students at Caltech from 1983 to 1986 was not on physics but on computerscience. The first edition of the Feynman Lectures on Computation, publishedin 1996, provided an overview of standard and not-so-standard topics incomputer science given in Feynman’s inimitable style. Although nowover 20 years old, most of the material is still relevant and interesting, andFeynman’s unique philosophy of learning and discovery shines through.For this new edition, Tony Hey has updated the lectures with an invitedchapter from Professor John Preskill on “Quantum Computing 40 YearsLater”. This contribution captures the progress made toward building aquantum computer since Feynman’s original suggestions in 1981. The last25 years have also seen the “Moore’s law” roadmap for the IT industrycoming to an end. To reflect this transition, John Shalf, Senior Scientistat Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, has contributed a chapteron “The Future of Computing beyond Moore’s Law”. The final updatefor this edition is an attempt to capture Feynman’s interest in artificialintelligence and artificial neural networks. Eric Mjolsness, now a Professorof Computer Science at the University of California Irvine, was a TeachingAssistant for Feynman’s original lecture course and his research interestsare now the application of artificial intelligence and machine learningfor multi-scale science. He has contributed a chapter called “Feynmanon Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning” that captures the earlydiscussions with Feynman and also looks toward future developments.This exciting and important work provides key reading for students andscholars in the fields of computer science and computational physics.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Bringing Up War-Babies: The Wartime Child in Women’s Writing and Psychoanalysis at Mid-Century
The figure of the wartime child in the mid-twentieth century unsettles and disturbs. This book employs a range of material – biographical, literary and historical – to chart some of the surprising and unanticipated crossovers between women’s writing and early psychoanalysis in the years of the Second World War and the decades before and after. This volume includes examples of children’s adventure fiction, as well as works written for adult audiences and important and previously unrecognized similarities are noted.The war was a disruptive influence in the lives of all who lived through it. Although active self-censorship is observed in the behaviour and attitudes of adults at this time, this book demonstrates how fictional children are able to articulate feelings such as anxiety and fear that adults were under pressure to conceal or to repress and at times, the figure of the wartime child becomes a surrogate for the writer herself or her suppressed fears and anxiety. When peace returned, this study finds women writers quick to identify and communicate a discomfiting new ambivalence between parents and children.
