In Biological Relatives, Sarah Franklin explores how the normalization of IVF has changed how both technology and biology are understood. Drawing on anthropology, feminist theory, and science studies, Franklin charts the evolution of IVF from an experimental research technique into a global technological platform used for a wide variety of applications, including genetic diagnosis, livestock breeding, cloning, and stem cell research. She contends that despite its ubiquity, IVF remains a highly paradoxical technology that confirms the relative and contingent nature of biology while creating new biological relatives.

Using their forensic skills to find traces of poison and other deleterious materials in our food and guiding the Courts and legal profession through complex scientific evidence, it has undersold itself to the public. It is time to tell their story with this collection of memoirs from many practising and retired Public Analysts. Their accounts of samples submitted to them, how they analysed them, and the tales that unfolded, make for a fascinating insight into the field. This is a timely publication, as funding for this area continues to fall, to the concern of many not just in the UK but throughout Europe. Yet, whilst food adulteration may not be as rife as it was 150 years ago, food fraud and adulteration is now on a global scale with improved communications, the fear of adulteration is probably larger than ever. This funding position does not sit well alongside levels of public interest that have never been higher in food, science in general, and forensic science. And yet research is still needed to find future strategies to maintain a vital service to protect the public and it is important to raise the profile of the role of the Public Analyst, now more than ever, This book, which is not intended as a text book but as a light read, will achieve this aim while simply telling the stories of a collection of Public Analysts, things they have found in food and other materials and their memoirs and anecdotes. It will appeal to those who watch programmes such as Crime Scene Investigates and anyone with an interest in forensic science and science in general.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IH PENTZBOOKSELLERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40443448492194,"sku":"","price":150.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/products\/9781847558718.jpg?v=1643981122"},{"product_id":"9780521135870","title":"The Dyslexia Debate by Elliott, Julian G.","description":"\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780521135870\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCambridge University Press | 31 August 2018\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback | 285 pages \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dyslexia Debate examines how we use the term 'dyslexia' and questions its efficacy as a diagnosis.

In this view, non-Western and folk medical systems are regarded as systems of 'belief' and subtly discounted. This is an impoverished perspective for understanding illness and healing across cultures, one that neglects many facets of Western medical practice and obscures its kinship with healing in other traditions. Drawing on his research in several American and Middle Eastern medical settings, in this 1993 book Professor Good develops a critical, anthropological account of medical knowledge and practice. He shows how physicians and healers enter and inhabit distinctive worlds of meaning and experience. He explores how stories or illness narratives are joined with bodily experience in shaping and responding to human suffering and argues that moral and aesthetic considerations are present in routine medical practice as in other forms of healing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IH PENTZ BOOKSELLERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40682564845730,"sku":"","price":364.5,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/products\/9780521425766.jpg?v=1632213685"},{"product_id":"9780521628990","title":"Communication in Medical Care : Interaction between Primary Care Physicians and Patients by Heritage, John","description":"\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780521628990\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCambridge University Pres, \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e19 May 2011 Paperback, 510 pages,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDescription\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 2006 volume provides a comprehensive discussion of communication between doctors and patients in primary care consultations.

Peard explores how this group of obscure clinicians became participants in an international debate as they helped change the scientific framework and practices of doctors in Brazil.\u003cbr\u003e Peard shows how the Tropicalistas adapted Western medicine and challenged the Brazilian medical status quo in order to find new answers to the old question of whether the diseases of warm climates were distinct from those of temperate Europe. They carried out innovative research on parasitology, herpetology, and tropical disorders, providing evidence that countered European assumptions about Brazilian racial and cultural inferiority. In the face of European fatalism about health care in the tropics, the Tropicalistas forged a distinctive medicine based on their beliefs that public health would improve only if large social issues--such as slavery and abolition--were addressed and that the delivery of health care should encompass groups hitherto outside the doctors' sphere, especially women. But the Tropicalistas' agenda, which included biting social critiques and broad demands for the extension of health measures to all of Brazil's people, was not sustained. Race, Place, and Medicine shows how imported models of tropical medicine--constructed by colonial nations for their own needs--downplayed the connection between socioeconomic factors and tropical disorders. \u003cbr\u003e This study of a neglected episode in Latin American history will interest Brazilianists, as well as scholars of Latin American, medical, and scientific history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IH Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41889347207330,"sku":"","price":220.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/products\/9780822323976.jpg?v=1648109086"},{"product_id":"9781405108690","title":"Sociology of Health and Health Care 3e :   by Taylor, Steve","description":"\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9781405108690\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Wiley and Sons Ltd \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e| 27 June \u003c\/span\u003e2003\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e|\u003c\/span\u003e 248 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDescription\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSociology and its applications are key components of the core foundation programme taught to all nursing students on degree and diploma courses.

Medicine and the Politics of Knowledge situates South Africa in the context of other cases of contention and contestation in other significant nations-including the history of South Africa's stances and political formations around HIV\/AIDS-in the broader context of questions relating to science, medicine, human experimentation, and structural violence, all of which shape the cases in the book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IH Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41889350877346,"sku":"","price":240.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/products\/9780796923929.jpg?v=1648546039"},{"product_id":"9780857259912","title":"Performance Coaching Skills for Social Work  by Holroyd, Jane","description":"\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780857259912\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSAGE Publication Ltd | 06 July 2012\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback | 160 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDescription \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin health and social care settings, high levels of sustained performance from individuals, teams, organisations and multi-agency collaborations are required.

Short multiplication time and high variability allow pathogens to evolve very rapidly. It is therefore imperative to incorporate evolutionary considerations into longer-term health management plans. The evolution of infectious disease is also an ideal test-bed for theories of evolutionary dynamics. This book combines both threads, taking stock of our current knowledge on the evolutionary ecology of infectious diseases, and setting out the goals for the management of virulent pathogens. Throughout the book, the fundamental concepts and techniques underlying the modelling are carefully explained in a unique series of integrated boxes. The book ends with an overview of novel options for virulence management in humans, farm animals, plants, wildlife populations and biological control schemes. Written for graduate students and researchers, Adaptive Dynamics of Infectious Diseases provides an integrated treatment of mathematical evolutionary modelling and disease management. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42125634732194,"sku":"","price":150.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/products\/9780521022132.jpg?v=1652179665"},{"product_id":"9781107037656","title":"Parasite Diversity and Diversification by Morand, Serge","description":"\u003cp\u003eISBN:\"9781107037656\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCambridge University Press,01 January 2015\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardback488 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe development of molecular tools has dramatically increased our knowledge of parasite diversity and the vectors that transmit them. From viruses and protists to arthropods and helminths, each branch of the Tree of Life offers an insight into significant, yet cryptic, biodiversity. Alongside this, the studies of host-parasite interactions and parasitism have influenced many scientific disciplines, such as biogeography and evolutionary ecology, by using comparative methods based on phylogenetic information to unravel shared evolutionary histories. Parasite Diversity and Diversification brings together two active fields of research, phylogenetics and evolutionary ecology, to reveal and explain the patterns of parasite diversity and the diversification of their hosts.

During the same period, nearly 25 million died of AIDS and more than 32 million were newly infected with HIV. In this book for students of political economy and public policy in Africa, as well as global health, Kim Yi Dionne tries to understand why AIDS interventions in Africa often fail. The fight against AIDS requires the coordination of multiple actors across borders and levels of governance in highly affected countries, and these actors can be the primary sources of the problem. Dionne observes misaligned priorities along the global chain of actors, and argues this misalignment can create multiple opportunities for failure. Analyzing foreign aid flows and public opinion polls, Dionne shows that while the international community highly prioritizes AIDS, ordinary Africans view AIDS as but one of the many problems they face daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEditorial Reviews\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReview\u003cbr\u003e 'In this sophisticated and insightful book, Kim Yi Dionne illuminates the challenges to global intervention against AIDS in Africa. With multi-method research and rich data, Dionne convincingly shows the disconnect between the priorities of international donors and the intended beneficiaries of aid and she argues that global intervention is undermined when donor priorities are privileged over citizens' priorities.' Dominika Koter, Colgate University, New York\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Dionne uses fascinating cases across a number of sub-Saharan African countries to demonstrate how the mismatch between donor and citizen priorities limits the effectiveness of HIV programming, as does the sheer number of actors involved at multiple levels of governance. One of the book's key contributions is its attention to AIDS interventions at the subnational level, particularly the role of village headmen, which Dionne situates with rich detail in what she aptly calls the global supply chain of AIDS interventions.'

Building off more than a decade of research, Kim Yi Dionne fill this gap by demonstrating how the priorities of global health donors are oftentimes misaligned with those who benefit from these programs (citizens) and those who are often engaged implement these programs (communities). She demonstrates how misalignments of priorities have contributed to poor program outcomes and likely poor health outcomes. Notably, her book shines an important light on the little understood role of village headmen in Malawi in the fight against HIV\/AIDS. The implications of her work are clear and apply to all global health programs, donors need to invest more to better understand the needs of citizens to make better use of stagnating global health aid.'
