As anyone who has watched television in recent years can attest, we live in the age of Viagra. From Bob Dole to Mike Ditka to late-night comedians, our culture has been engaged in one long, frank, and very public talk about impotence--and our newfound pharmaceutical solutions. But as Angus McLaren shows us in Impotence, the first cultural history of the subject, the failure of men to rise to the occasion has been a recurrent topic since the dawn of human culture.

ISBN: 9780226560694 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Modernity in interwar Europe frequently took the form of a preoccupation with mechanizing the natural; fears and fantasies revolved around the notion that the boundaries between people and machines were collapsing.

In "Reproduction by Design," McLaren draws on novels, plays, science fiction, and films of the 1920s and '30s, as well as the work of...

History of Contraception : From Antiquity to the Present Day
ISBN: 9780631187295 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book, the first history of contraception for almost fifty years, provides a scholarly and highly readable account of procreation and attempts to prevent it from ancient Greece to the late twentieth century. The story, as the author shows, is not one of unalleviated progress, and anything but a simple passage from ignorance to enlightenment. Marshalling evidence from demography, medicine, literature, religious, family and women's history, he shows both that the idea of limiting progeny is ever present in human history and that many contraceptive practices have endured for at least two and...

Sexual Blackmail: A Modern History
ISBN: 9780674009240 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Sexual blackmail first reached public notice in the late 18th century when laws against sodomy were exploited by the unscrupulous to extort money from those they could entrap. Angus McLaren chronicles this parasitic crime, tracing its expansion in England and the United States through the Victorian era and into the first half of the 20th century. The labelling of certain sexual acts as disreputable, if not actually criminal - abortion, infidelity, prostitution, and homosexuality - armed would-be blackmailers and led to a crescendo of court cases and public scandals in the 1920s and 1930s. As...

ISBN: 9781442659643 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Was Canada immune to the racist currents of thought that swept central Europe in the 1920's and 1930's? In this landmark book Angus McLaren, co-author of The Bedroom and the State, examines the pervasiveness in Canada of the eugenic notion of "race betterment" and demonstrates that many Canadians believed that radical measures were justified to protect the community from the "degenerate." The sterilization of the feeble-minded in Alberta and British Columbia was merely the most dramatic attempt to limit the numbers of the "unfit." But in the decades prior to World War Two, eugenic...
