Sixteen essays make a contribution to "cyborg anthropology" and "cyborg feminism." Volume considers human reproduction through the lens of an interrogation of the cyborg metaphor, its power, pleasure, promise, and threat. Section one essays discuss medico-technological interventions in conception and contraception including production of "technosemen." Section two includes essays by Emily Martin, Rayna Rapp and others, examining gestation and the use of medical imaging (ultrasound) and screening (amniocentesis) technologies to produce "normal" and "healthy" fetuses. Section three essays consider technobirth, focusing on the medical monitoring and management of the mother's body. Section four considers childrearing in a digital culture, including essay by Sherry Turkle on cyborg babies in a culture of "simulation." Exceptional introduction by David-Floyd and Dumit provides historical/theoretical overview of cyborg metaphor as quintessential postmodern myth and tool.

I am a licensed family therapist and I recommend this book to all of my clients who are dealing with adult ADD/ADHD issues. A concise overview, the book has clear explanations, a very readable style and a welcome dose of humor! I'm not sure that it shouldn't be required reading for clinicians as well.

For all you Wraith players and storytellers who don't have any spectres in the game-- You have NO IDEA what you are missing! And, if you do have spectres but not this sourcebook, you could be doing a LOT better!

"Dark Reflections: Spectres" is Black Dog's first Wraith book. It does a GREAT job describing the mentality and characteristics of Wraiths who have fallen into their shadow. Storytellers will see how to properly incorporate spectres into the game, and players will learn how to properly play them.

Get this discontinued tome while you still can!

In this book one sentence went straight to my heart "God as the guru, awakens himself as the disciple". With one sentence I managed to understand the philosophy of absolute monism. The book is easy to read but suitable only to sincere truth seekers. Copies of this kind of books are not easy to find; don't buy it unless you are seriously interested in spiritual discovery. Let serious people get this book.

As novice birdwatchers, this book was indispensable for planning our birdwatching trip to SE Arizona. It gave specific locations to visit for birds that you could expect to see there.

A great book and a fine review of the Davis Cup and its history. Several timeless photographs and interesting accounts of the ties as they were played. Any fan of the Davis Cup should own this book.
