Having children is probably as old as the first successful organism. It is often done thoughtlessly. This book is an argument for giving procreating some serious thought, and a theory of how, when, and why procreation may be permissible. Rivka Weinberg begins with an analysis of the kind of act procreativity is and why we might be justifiably motivated to engage in it. She then proceeds to argue that, by virtue of our ownership and control of the hazardous material that is our gametes, we are parentally responsible for the risks we take with our gametes and for the persons that develop when we engage in activity that allows our gametes to unite with others and develop into persons. Further argument establishes that when done respectfully, and in cases where the child's chances of leading a life of human flourishing are high, procreation may be permissible. Along the way, Weinberg argues that the non-identity problem is a curiously common mistake. Arguments intending to show that procreation is impermissible because life is bad for people and imposed on them without their consent are shown to have serious flaws. Yet because they leave us with lingering concerns, Weinberg argues that although procreation is permissible under certain conditions, it is not only a welfare risk but also a moral risk. Still, it is a risk that is often permissible for us to take and impose, given our high level of legitimate interest in procreativity. In order to ascertain when the procreative risk is permissible to impose, contractualist principles are proposed to fairly attend to the interests prospective parents have in procreating and the interests future people have in a life of human flourishing. The principles are assessed on their own merits and in comparison with rival principles. They are then applied to a wide variety of procreative cases. Choice Outstanding Titles for Philosophy "Weinberg's The Risk of a Lifetime treats underappreciated ethical issues of procreation with philosophical intelligence, insight, and flair." -Stephen Darwall, Andrew Downey Orrick Professor of Philosophy, Yale University "...a well-argued, insightful, and lively discussion of the issues surrounding this underappreciated topic." -Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online "Weinberg's The Risk of a Lifetime is a must-read for anyone interested in procreative ethics generally or in understanding how a contractualist approach might be applied in the context of procreative ethics. Moreover, I can't think of a recent book that would be more valuable, more fun, or more engaging for students-or their instructors-in any mid-or upper-level course or seminar or in any graduate course in applied or normative ethics or in population ethics." -Ethics

Problematic sexual behavior in children can be challenging to understand, difficult to talk about, and hard to manage in school and community settings. Without a systemic approach for addressing these behaviors, communities run the risk of exposing their children to harm and their organizations to liability. In Problematic Sexual Behavior in Schools, Wilson Kenney lays out a comprehensive school and community-based model for identifying and addressing problematic sexual behavior in children that is based on best-practice models for threat assessment. The reader will find practical and fiscally sensitive recommendations regarding school and community supervision, ideas for accessing consultation, information about Title IX, and advice regarding how best to approach these topics with families. Additionally, this book contains all the necessary paperwork and guidance needed to establish a formal school-based process for addressing problematic sexual behavior in children, regardless of the size of one's community. It is a comprehensive how-to guidebook for keeping both schools and communities safe.

Alfred C. Kinsey was perhaps the most controversial figure in the US during the 1950s. His books on sexual behavior in the human male and female made best-seller lists and were translated into thirteen languages. Kinsey was denounced by journalists, clergymen, members of Congress, educators, and even housewives, yet upon his death, the New York Times called him In Kinsey: A Biography, Cornelia V. Christenson, an assistant to Dr. Kinsey, discloses the man behind the myth. She reveals how this dedicated family man and lover of the great outdoors began his journey as a scientist and ended up studying sexuality. And as Christenson points out, perhaps Kinsey's greatest accomplishment during his long struggle for academic freedom was protecting the freedom of the scientist to explore and analyze any field of inquiry.

A radical reappraisal of homosexuality in Ancient Greece, by a young historian described as 'the best thing to happen to ancient history for decades' (Andrew Roberts, MAIL ON SUNDAY) Kenneth Dover's 1978 GREEK HOMOSEXUALITY remains the most recent single-volume treatment of the subject as a whole. Drawing on fifteen years of ensuing research, James Davidson rejects Dover's excessively theoretical approach, using a wide variety of sources unknown to him - court cases, romantic novels, satirical plays and poems - to present a view of the subject that, in contrast to Dover and to Foucault, stresses the humanity of the ancient Greeks, and how they lived their loves and pleasures, rather than their moral codes and the theorising of philosophers. Homosexuality in Ancient Greece remains a central area of debate in the classics, in ancient history and lesbian and gay studies. Greek civilisation centrally underpins our own, providing a basis of so much of the west's culture and philosophy, yet the Greeks were more tolerant of homosexuality than virtually any other culture, certainly than the western civilisations that followed. The extent to which Greek attitudes to sexuality and in particular their privileging of 'Greek Love' were comparable and different to our own underlies the continuing debate over the formation of sexuality and the much wider question of the roles of nature and nurture in the formation of human behaviour and personality.

'Every day, thousands of women enter acting classes where most of them will receive some variation on the Stanislavsky-based training that has now been taught in the U.S. for nearly ninety years. Yet relatively little feminist consideration has been given to the experience of the student actress: What happens to women in Method actor training?'

An Actress Prepares is the first book to interrogate Method acting from a specifically feminist perspective. Rose Malague addresses "the Method" not only with much-needed critical distance, but also the crucial insider's view of a trained actor. Case studies examine the preeminent American teachers who popularized and transformed elements of Stanislavsky s System within the U.S. Strasberg, Adler, Meisner, and Hagen by analyzing and comparing their related but distinctly different approaches.

This book confronts the sexism that still exists in actor training and exposes the gender biases embedded within the Method itself. Its in-depth examination of these Stanislavskian techniques seeks to reclaim Method acting from its patriarchal practices and to empower women who act.

'I've been waiting for someone to write this book for years: a thorough-going analysis and reconsideration of American approaches to Stanislavsky from a feminist perspective ... lively, intelligent, and engaging.' Phillip Zarrilli, University of Exeter

'Theatre people of any gender will be transformed by Rose Malague s eye-opening study An Actress Prepares... This book will be useful to all scholars and practitioners determined to make gender equity central to how they hone their craft and their thinking.' Jill Dolan, Princeton University

Intersex and/as/is/with disability. The connections between intersex and disability deserve nuanced attention if we are to strengthen intersex human rights claims and understand the experiences of intersex people living with the disabling consequences of medical intervention. Cripping Intersex explores three key themes: the medical management of people with intersex characteristics; the mainstream fascination with sport sex-testing policies; and the eugenic implications of preimplantation genetic diagnosis. This necessary work offers radical new understandings of intersex-with-disability by investigating how intersex and interphobia intersect with disability and ableism, and pushes analyses of intersex experience further than feminist or queer theory can do alone.

Sex scholarship has a long history in anthropology, from the studies of voyeuristic Victorian gentlemen ethnographers, to more recent analyses of gay sex, transsexualism, and the newly visible forms of contemporary sexuality in the West. The Anthropology of Sex draws on the comparative field research of anthropologists to examine the relationship between sex as identity, practice and experience. Sexual cultures vary enormously and, while often the topic of tabloid titillation, they are more rarely subjected to strict cultural analysis. The Anthropology of Sex is the first work to critically synthesise over a century of comparative expertise, knowledge and understanding of diverse sexual forms. . Explores sexuality from diversity to perversity and asks how diverse sexual practices are linked. . Probes the cultural and comparative context of contemporary sexual practice and belief. . Examines the shaping of sex by global and globalizing forces. The Anthropology of Sex will be key reading for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in anthropology and related disciplines.
