Abortion and the Private Practice of Medicine
ISBN: 9781412864213 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Originally published in 1986, Abortion and the Private Practice of Medicine was the first book to look at abortion from the perspective of physicians in private practice. Jonathan B. Imber spent two years observing and interviewing all twenty-six of the obstetrician-gynecologists in "Daleton," a city that did not have an abortion clinic.

ISBN: 9780691168142 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

Taboo Topics
ISBN: 9781412852814 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 171 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Why is it so hard to investigate taboo topics? A myriad of forces shape and fashion human action, reaction, thought, and feeling, and these are not always well understood. Norman L. Farberow argues that culture itself provides structure for its members, developing in a well-defined way the rules to which they will conform. Such rules find expression not only in written laws and regulations but include, and most often stem from, unwritten folkways, customs, and especially taboos, the subject of this book. The researchers reporting in this volume take no position on the nature of a taboo...
