ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Franklin, Sarah, PUBLISHER: Routledge, New Reproductive Technologies, such as in "vitro fertilization, " have been the subject of intense public discussion and debate worldwide. In addition to difficult ethical, moral, personal and political questions, new technologies of assisted conception also raise novel socio-cultural dilemmas. How are parenthood, kinship and procreation being redefined in the context of new reproductive technologies? Has reproductive choice become part of consumer culture? "Embodied Progress" offers a unique perspective on these and other cultural dimensions of assisted conception techniques. Based on ethnographic research in Britain, this study foregrounds the experiences of women and couples who undergo "IVF, " while also asking how such experiences may be variously understood.

Real Knights: Over 20 True Stories of Battle and Adventure

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gravett, Christopher / James, John, PUBLISHER: Enchanted Lion Books, What do Lancelot, Traistan and Sir Gawain have in common? They were not real knights. But what do El Cid, Arnold of Ardres, Hermann von Salza and Edward the Black Prince share? They were real knights. What were "real knights" really like? Did they resemble their larger-than-life counterparts of fiction and legend? Or were they unscrupulous warriors, often little better than brigands in their pursuit of land and loot? As REAL KNIGHTS shows, one of the reasons knights continue to intrigue us is because they remain contradictory figures, high-minded and chivalrous, as well as ruthless. In REAL KNIGHTS, the careers of 20 celebrated individual knights are examined. The book also provides a context for these individual stories by presenting historical background on early knights, the Crusades, the age of chivalry, the Hundred Years War, and the age of the professional knight. In addition, special sections focus on such topics as armor, weapons and fighting techniques; warfare; tournaments; life in a castle; and clothes, food and entertainment. John James's highly detailed, vivid illustrations stunningly recreate the authentic look of the knights themselves as well as the atmosphere of the age, while the accompanying text allows for an informative and entertaining exploration of the world of chivalry and the careers of knights from many different corners of Europe.

A Bright Soothing Noise

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brown, Peter, PUBLISHER: University of North Texas Press, The title, "A Bright Soothing Noise, "refers to the sound that fire makes, promising not only warmth and light but also violence and destruction. Brown's greatest hero is Frank O'Connor, and like O'Connor's his stories uncover the final bleakness of a national life but in the same moment glow with its promise of love and life and belonging. Brown's Americans will try almost anything to connect. They tend to drink too much, to drive too fast, are a little too violent in their passions and even a little too religious. Too often they believe, they trust--and then again they don't, depending not so much on what's getting proffered as who's proffering. They are always on the verge of something better. They only want a little more, only a little too much, and while we as readers want with all our hearts for them to get it, we also fear they might. "This highly entertaining collection of stories has the scenic intensity and quality of Tennessee Williams's one-act plays. Meet a varied cast of characters in strange settings, and enjoy their provocative and witty company."--Josip Novakovich, author of "April Fool's Day: A Novel" and judge "Number Nine: Katherine Anne Porter Prize in Short Fiction"
