The best, most comprehensive guide to infertility, and the only
user guide to IVF treatment available. This is an outstanding book.
Originally published in 1997, and now updated to cover all the
latest developments and changes, it really is the best and most
comprehensive guide to IVF treatment available. Easy to read, Your
Essential IVF Companion is a mine of information: How the
reproductive system works. * The different causes of fertility
problems. * The drug and treatment options available. * How will
the treatments make me feel? * The medical technology - how does it
work? * Self-help and complementary medicine to help with fertility
- and during IVF. * IVF, infertility and your relationship as a
couple. * The alternatives - adoption and fostering. This is also
the ONLY book which provides a guide to every UK clinic and
hospital offering IVF. The clinics do differ - both in their
criteria for selecting IVF couples and in the sorts of experience
couples can expect to have once they begin treatment.

Souls by Roy Williams A challenging and culturally diverse
collection of new plays by some of the UK's foremost writers.
dealing with topics such as domestic violence, eating disorders,
mother/daughter relationships and sibling rivalry, written by some
of Britain's foremost writers. Beautifully written and tested in
performance, these plays which deal with topics such as domestic
violence, eating disorders, mother/daughter relationships and
sibling rivalry, will become essential texts for theatres, schools,
colleges and youth centres.
Academic interest in hysteria has burgeoned in recent decades. The
topic has been probed by feminist theorists, cultural studies
specialists, literary scholars, anthropologists, sociologists,
psychologists, medical and art historians, as well as novelists.
The hysteric is construed as a powerless, voiceless subject,
marginalised by the forces of the patriarchy that have been the
root cause of their distress, dissembling, and disablement. In
Performing Nerves, Anna Furse interweaves her artistic and academic
practice, drawing on her own performance texts to explore four
different versions of debilitating hysteric suffering. Each text is
extensively annotated, revealing the dramaturgical logic and, in
turn, the historical, medical, and cultural contexts behind their
protagonists' illnesses, which are argued as environmentally caused
in each case. This unique, reflective insight into a playwright and
director's craft offers not only an account of how mental suffering
can manifest in different contexts and times, from the 19th century
to today, but also a breadth of access to the ideas that can
motivate creative research. This book is an invaluable resource for
scholars of theatre studies, performance studies, dramaturgy,
20th-century history, gender studies, and medical humanities.

This book explores new developments in the dialogues between
science and theatre and offers an introduction to a fast-expanding
area of research and practice.The cognitive revolution in the
humanities is creating new insights into the audience experience,
performance processes and training. Scientists are collaborating
with artists to investigate how our brains and bodies engage with
performance to create new understanding of perception, emotion,
imagination and empathy. Divided into four parts, each introduced
by an expert editorial from leading researchers in the field, this
edited volume offers readers an understanding of some of the main
areas of collaboration and research: 1. Dances with Science 2.
Touching Texts and Embodied Performance 3. The Multimodal Actor 4.
Affecting Audiences Throughout its history theatre has provided
exciting and accessible stagings of science, while contemporary
practitioners are increasingly working with scientific and medical
material. As Honour Bayes reported in the Guardian in 2011, the
relationships between theatre, science and performance are
'exciting, explosive and unexpected'. Affective Performance and
Cognitive Science charts new directions in the relations between
disciplines, exploring how science and theatre can impact upon each
other with reference to training, drama texts, performance and
spectatorship. The book assesses the current state of play in this
interdisciplinary field, facilitating cross disciplinary exchange
and preparing the way for future studies.
