Epigenetic Landscapes: Drawings as Metaphor
ISBN: 9780822368601 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Devised in the 1940s by the biologist C. H. Waddington, the epigenetic landscape is a metaphor for how gene regulation modulates cellular development. As a scientific model, it fell out of use in the late 1960s but returned at the beginning of the twenty-first century with the advent of big-data genomic research because of its utility among scientists across the life sciences to think more creatively about and discuss genetics. In Epigenetic Landscapes Susan Merrill Squier follows the model's cultural trail, from its first visualization by the artist John Piper to its use beyond...

Liminal Lives: Imagining the Human at the Frontiers of Biomedicine
ISBN: 9780822333661 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Embryo adoptions, stem cells capable of transforming into any cell in the human body, intra- and inter-species organ transplantation these and other biomedical advances have unsettled ideas of what it means to be human, of when life begins and ends.

Indeed, she demonstrates that in many instances fiction...

Virginia Woolf and London: The Sexual Politics of the City
ISBN: 9780807865965 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. To Virginia Woolf, London was a source of creative inspiration, a setting for many of her works, and a symbol of the culture in which she lived and wrote. In a 1928 diary entry, she observed, "London itself perpetually attracts, stimulates, gives me a play & a story & a poem, without any trouble, save that of moving my legs through the streets." The city fascinated Woolf, yet her relationship with it was problematic. In her attempts to resolve her developmental struggles as a woman write in a patriarchal society, Woolf shaped and reshaped the image and meaning of London.

Babies in Bottles
ISBN: 9780813521176 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. There is a forgotten history to our current debates over reproductive technology - one interweaving literature and science, profoundly gendered, filled with choices and struggles. We pay a price when we accept modern reproductive technology as a scientific breakthrough without a past. Babies in Bottles retrieves some of that history by analyzing the literary and popular science writings of Julian Huxley, J.B.S. Haldane, Charlotte Haldane, Aldous Huxley, and Naomi Mitchison - writings that include representations of reproductive technology from babies in bottles to surrogate mothers. It is to...

A pioneering analysis of radio as both a cultural and material production, Communities of the Air explores radio s powerful role in shaping Anglo-American culture and society since the early twentieth century.
