A host of international scientists and activists present their research and analysis of the world-wide issue of child circumcision from medical, ethical, and legal points of view. The authors are all particularly concerned, not strictly with the physical ramifications of circumcision, but with the human rights violations they see in the removal of healthy tissue from a person unable to give consent for these actions. Articles include discussions of the physiology of the genital tissue, religious and cultural considerations, psychological ramifications, and legal and ethical issues. Several articles deal with the process of foreskin restoration of circumcised males, and another section details the work of the campaign to end genital mutilation. Annotation c.

The museum 'La Specola' in Florence hosts a celebrated collection of eighteenth- century anatomical models in wax – lifelike body parts and bodies in vivid poses, reminiscent of famous works of art and anatomical illustration. Based on a detailed study of rich archival sources, Model Experts explores practices of model production and display, and reveals the often invisible labours of the co-operating artisans, anatomists, and administrators. The book shows that the models were central to a remarkable political experiment: 'La Specola' opened in 1775 as the Royal Museum of Physics and Natural History, one of the first public science museums in Europe. As a venue for public enlightenment, the museum displayed model anatomies to create the model citizen. The study also moves beyond the... Less

It was a confrontation twenty years in the making and it marked a turning point in the history of hockey.On December 31, 1975, the Montreal Canadiens, the most successful franchise in the NHL, hosted the touring Central Red Army, the dominant team in the Soviet Union.

Political scientist James H. Lebovic establishes that the size, strength, flexibility, and adaptability of the U.S. military cannot ensure victory in asymmetrical conflicts.In The Limits of U.S. Military Capability, Lebovic shows how political and psychological factors trumped U.S. military superiority in Vietnam and Iraq, where inappropriate strategies, low stakes, and unrealistic goals mired the United States military in protracted, no-win conflicts. Lebovic contends that the United States is at a particular disadvantage when fighting a counterinsurgency without the full support of the host government; when leveraging various third parties (the adversary's foreign allies, societal leaders, and indigenous populations); when attempting to build coalitions and nations while involved in...

Radio show host/doctor Eden and speech writer/journalist Clarke mince no words but plenty of the French as they take on their inclinations toward American culture, perverted pop music, and general ingratitude, suspicion, and rudeness. The authors cover literature, philosophy and other high-brow French aberrations but also examine aspects of everyday life, including not curbing dogs and taking credit for others' ideas but denying responsibility for many of their own, such as anti-Semitism. You might as well read this on the plane to Paris, or better yet on the way back as you lick your wounds. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

    The famous football season of 1942 was a thrilling final fling—the Badger players, their opponents, and indeed most young men their age would soon be in other uniforms, serving during World War II. Wisconsin had a host of star players, including Pat "Hit ’Em Again" Harder, Elroy "Crazylegs" Hirsch, and two-time All-American Dave Schreiner, and they were coached by Harry Stuhldreher (one of Notre Dame’s legendary "Four Horsemen"). They won one version of the national championship, awarded by the Helms Foundation. Author Terry Frei captures the excitement of that 1942 season but also tells the story of how these young men then served their country in Okinawa, at the Battle of the Bulge, in aerial dogfights, and in POW camps. Not all of them came home.    Frei is the son of 1942 Badger... Less

This second edition of the book provides answers to many questions which could not be answered in the first edition, and accordingly all the chapters have been extensively rewritten and edited. The findings summarized in this edition show that grafted tissue can survive and thrive in a host mammal, occasionally replace some lost function and re-establish a semblance of sophisticated and complex circuitries. These new insights are... Less

The societal burden of cancer is one of the major public health challenges of our time, yet that burden is not equally shared by all. Troubling disparities have been documented not only by racial/ethnic group but also by social class, insurance status, geography, and a host of other factors. Furthermore, such disparities represent the end result of a constellation of forces stemming from both within the health care system and outside of it. Many currently existing cancer disparities are preventable.To date, few publications capture the breadth and depth of the dimensions of cancer disparities from both the clinical and public health perspective. In this volume, we will broaden concepts of disparities beyond traditional race/ethnicity discussions to explore a more systematic analysis of... Less
