Body Trade exposes myths surrounding the trade in heads, cannibalism, captive white women, the display of indigenous people in fairs and circuses, the stolen generations, the 'comfort' women and the making of the exotic/erotic body. This is a lively and intriguiung comtribution to the study of the postcolonial body.

An exploration of the philosophical and practical implications of practices such as surrogacy and organ harvesting. Wilkinson questions whether such commercial uses of the body need legislation to outlaw such practices.

At first, the hastily conceived plan of a carefree life on the beach seems a dream come true, but when their trusty Rambler breaks down, two young women must change course. Trapped in the jungles of newly independent Belize, they are forced to make impossible decisions in order to survive.

作者在这本论著中首创性地提出了统一的贸易经济学的理论体系。这一理论体系目前共包含约27个理论。统一的贸易经济学将各个层次经济系统的贸易关系的理论统一了起来，使其不仅可以应用于区域经济贸易，国际贸易，还可以推广应用到微观经济系统。统一的贸易经济学也实现了备战学派所主张的对经济现实的可触摸性和可计算性。统一的贸易经济学较为全面地分析了区域经济贸易的各种特性，并建立起较为完整的具有独创性的区域经济贸易评价体系。 这本书中的很多理论和思想都是很崭新的，其中所包含的创新概念或具有创新内容的概念有：贸易系统，贸易主体，贸易客体，本地贸易产品/服务/利润，本地国际化贸易产品/服务/利润，本地国际化贸易回归产品/服务/利润，进口/出口/类别性/双边性/双区分/总体性/跨境性贸易指标，贸易差额强度，贸易差额强度落差，贸易竞争系数，贸易和谐系数，贸易交换系数，贸易相关系数，贸易竞争力指数，贸易成本，贸易收入，贸易效率，贸易利润，贸易利润比率，贸易回头率，贸易召回率，贸易折返率，流通性贸易泡沫总量（总值），流通性贸易泡沫度，社会性经济泡沫度（贸易），社会性经济泡沫量（贸易），贸易参与度，贸易市场需求量，贸易市场需求度，产能缺口，区域外供应能力，贸易能力，贸易能力缺口，贸易能力实现率，过剩贸易能力比率，过剩出口贸易能力比率，进口贸易能力缺口比率，评估指标对，评估指标集合，贸易优势集合/序列，趋势性汇率波动，汇率性贸易成本/收入/利润，汇率性贸易成本比率/收入比率/利润比率，经济势能水平（贸易），经济势能容量（贸易），环境经济代价（贸易），经济绿色势能（贸易），关税收入，关税成本，贸易管理团队规模社会性比率，贸易管理团队规模就业性比率，贸易成果性管理消耗比，贸易成本性管理消耗比，贸易管理团队的人均管理成本，管理团队人均贸易收入，管理团队人均关税收入，贸易指标增速，贸易指标变异度，贸易特性指标序列（贸易结构），贸易集中度，贸易安全特性指标，区域经济贸易双核算体系，区域经济贸易比例指标，贸易经济比重（域外依赖度），等等。统一的贸易经济学必将成为我们共有的航行在太空中的宇宙飞船的国际贸易体系的理论基础。 这本论著对于那些对贸易经济研究，贸易经济管理，贸易财务管理，区域经济等感兴趣的人士应该是一本比较好的开拓思维的读本。对于从事和希望从事贸易经济研究工作，政府工作或经济管理工作的人士也是比较有意义的。

A look inside the world of forensics examines the use of human cadavers in a wide range of endeavors, including research into new surgical procedures, space exploration, and a Tennessee human decay research facility.

This book fills a significant gap in the literature on eighteenth-century social and cultural history. Starting with their production and trade, Sorge-English looks at the intricacies of the staymaker’s craft, the role of gender in the design and manufacture of stays and the changing shape of stays over time.

Cameron Diaz shares her formula for becoming happier, healthier, and stronger in this positive, essential guide grounded in science and inspired by personal experience, now a #1 New York Times bestseller. Throughout her career, Cameron Diaz has been a role model for millions of women. By her own candid admission, though, this fit, glamorous, but down-to-earth star was not always health-conscious. Learning about the inseparable link between nutrition and the body was just one of the life-changing lessons that has fed Cameron’s hunger to educate herself about the best ways to feed, move, and care for her body. In The Body Book, she shares what she has learned and continues to discover about nutrition, exercise, and the mind/body connection. Grounded in science and informed by real life, The Body Book offers a comprehensive overview of the human body and mind, from the cellular level up. From demystifying and debunking the hype around food groups to explaining the value of vitamins and minerals, readers will discover why it’s so important to embrace the instinct of hunger and to satisfy it with whole, nutrient-dense foods. Cameron also explains the essential role of movement, the importance of muscle and bone strength and why we need to sweat a little every day. The Body Book does not set goals to reach in seven days or thirty days or a year. It offers a holistic, long-term approach to making consistent choices and reaching the ultimate goal: a long, strong, happy, healthy life.

Now updated with groundbreaking research, this award-winning classic examines the construction of sexual identity in biology, society, and history. Why do some people prefer heterosexual love while others fancy the same sex? Is sexual identity biologically determined or a product of convention? In this brilliant and provocative book, the acclaimed author of Myths of Gender argues that even the most fundamental knowledge about sex is shaped by the culture in which scientific knowledge is produced. Drawing on astonishing real-life cases and a probing analysis of centuries of scientific research, Fausto-Sterling demonstrates how scientists have historically politicized the body. In lively and impassioned prose, she breaks down three key dualisms -- sex/gender, nature/nurture, and real/constructed -- and asserts that individuals born as mixtures of male and female exist as one of five natural human variants and, as such, should not be forced to compromise their differences to fit a flawed societal definition of normality.

Humans have become much taller and heavier, and experience healthier and longer lives than ever before in human history. However it is only recently that historians, economists, human biologists and demographers have linked the changing size, shape and capability of the human body to economic and demographic change. This fascinating and groundbreaking book presents an accessible introduction to the field of anthropometric history, surveying the causes and consequences of changes in health and mortality, diet and the disease environment in Europe and the United States since 1700. It examines how we define and measure health and nutrition as well as key issues such as whether increased longevity contributes to greater productivity or, instead, imposes burdens on society through the higher costs of healthcare and pensions. The result is a major contribution to economic and social history with important implications for today's developing world and the health trends of the future.
