A Sensory Education takes a close look at how sensory awareness is
learned and taught in expert and everyday settings around the
world. Anna Harris shows that our sensing is not innate or
acquired, but in fact evolves through learning that is shaped by
social and material relations. The chapters feature diverse sources
of sensory education, including field manuals, mannequins,
cookbooks and flavour charts. The examples range from medical
training and forest bathing to culinary and perfumery classes.
Offering a valuable guide to the uncanny and taken-for-granted ways
in which adults are trained to improve their senses, this book will
be of interest to disciplines including anthropology and sociology
as well as food studies and sensory studies. The Open Access

Online genetic testing services are increasingly being offered to
consumers who are becoming exposed to, and knowledgeable about, new
kinds of genetic technologies, as the launch of a 23andme genetic
testing product in the UK testifies. Genetic research
breakthroughs, cheek swabbing forensic pathologists and celebrities
discovering their ancestral roots are littered throughout the North
American, European and Australasian media landscapes. Genetic
testing is now capturing the attention, and imagination, of
hundreds of thousands of people who can not only buy genetic tests
online, but can also go online to find relatives, share their
results with strangers, sign up for personal DNA-based musical
scores, and take part in research. This book critically examines
this market of direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing from a
social science perspective, asking, what happens when genetics goes
online? With a focus on genetic testing for disease, the book is
about the new social arrangements which emerge when a traditionally
clinical practice (genetic testing) is taken into new spaces (the
internet). It examines the intersections of new genetics and new
media by drawing from three different fields: internet studies; the
sociology of health; and science and technology studies. While
there has been a surge of research activity concerning DTC genetic
testing, particularly in sociology, ethics and law, this is the
first scholarly monograph on the topic, and the first book which
brings together the social study of genetics and the social study
of digital technologies. This book thus not only offers a new
overview of this field, but also offers a unique contribution by
attending to the digital, and by drawing upon empirical examples
from our own research of DTC genetic testing websites (using online
methods) and in-depth interviews in the United Kingdom with people
using healthcare services.

This book explores the colourful past, present and future of an
instrument that is, quite literally, close to our hearts. The
stethoscope has become the symbol of medicine itself, but how did
this come to be? What makes the stethoscope such a familiar and yet
charismatic object? Drawing from a range of fields including
history, anthropology, science, technology and sound studies, the
book illustrates the variety of roles the stethoscope has played
over time. It shows that the stethoscope is not, and has never
been, a single entity. It is used to a variety of ends, serves a
number of purposes and is open to many interpretations. This is the
key to the stethoscope's enduring presence in the medical and
popular imagination.
Medical knowledge manifests in materials, and materials are
integral to the reproduction of medical knowledge. From the novice
student to the expert practitioner, those who study and work in and
around medicine rely on material guidance in their everyday
practice and as they seek to further their craft. Students, just as
experts, pore over textbooks, photographs and films. They put up
and copy down chalkboard illustrations, manipulate plastic models
and inspect organic specimens fixed in formalin. They pass through
grand university libraries and try not to contaminate anything in
cramped surgical theatres. Students, just as experts, learn within
an expansive material culture of medicine, they learn from
explicitly educative materials, from the workaday tools used for
diagnosis and in treatment, they learn in everyday spaces and as
part of sprawling infrastructures. While the specific constellation
of material varies across time and space, many materials have
remained constant, key actors in the spread of medical practices
and in the steady, global expansion of biomedical frameworks of
health and disease. This collection focuses on the materials,
objects, tools and technologies which facilitate the reproduction
of medical knowledge and often reify understandings of medical
science. The training of doctors is changing rapidly in response to
technological development as well to the evolving needs and
expectations of patients. Medical schools are beginning to respond
to these challenges through curricula redesign and the purchase or
endorsement of new teaching aids, simulations and pedagogies.
Often, this means that medical schools are embracing the digital at
the expense of older teaching materials. Medical education is at a
critical juncture and there is momentum to radically rethink its
approaches. This collection offers a reflection on these challenges
by presenting an innovative and expansive overview of the role of
materiality in the training of doctors and in the social
reproduction of medicine in general. Experimental in form, and with
ethnographic, museological and historical cases, and traces from
around the world, this edited volume is the first to fully explore
the matter of medical education in the modern world. Supported by
the European Research Council under the European Union's Horizon
2020 research and innovation programme. An academic text, it will
be most relevant to academics and graduate students in the fields
of health and material culture, but will also have a wider
readership with those working on medical education and knowledge
and medical history
Eve Hoffman, an innocent young woman still in high school and
recovering from the loss of her father, meets bad boy Shannon
Stevens and falls in love. Little do they know that their new found
love has sparked the jealousy of one man who will do anything in
his power to possess the beautiful Eve. Eve soon finds herself
caught up in a dangerous love triangle which will have dire
consequences not only for Eve, but for all those who love her. Eve
must learn her darkest lesson, that sometimes beauty has a price...
