Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are

keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the

imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made

This book aims to examine the controversial approach to addiction,
providing in the process a unique approach to literature on illicit
drugs
It has become something of a cliche that Western culture is
obsessed with celebrity, glamour, and the opportunities ordinary
people are now given (reality television, social networking sites,
blogging) to become famous. These new engagements between fame and
obscurity have been accompanied by energetic debates about the
self, image and vanity. Similar debates are also underway in a
domain apparently quite different from this digital realm - the
corporeal domain of health, fitness, beauty and anti-ageing.
Vanity, it seems, can account for both our least and most bodily
modes of making the self. Despite these growing areas of debate,
little or no sociological or cultural studies research on vanity
has been conducted to date. This book sets out to remedy this.
Exploring a range of sites of social and cultural production - from
Helen Mirren's red bikini to The Biggest Loser reality weight loss
show, from suffragists to Viagra, from anti-ageing medicine to
Facebook - the book takes an engaging, sophisticated and
wide-ranging look at new ideas and practices of vanity. How are
contemporary subjects to cope with concurrent pressures both
towards self-absorption and away from it? Taking an explicitly
gendered approach to these questions, Vanity: 21st Century Selves
conducts a broad analysis of a key concept shaping contemporary
Western societies and their ways of understanding the self.
What is 'addiction'? What does it say about us, our social
arrangements and our political preoccupations? Where is it going as
an idea and what is at stake in its ongoing production? Drawing on
ethnographic research, interviews and media and policy texts, this
book traces the remaking of addiction in contemporary Western
societies.

Cats are one of the most popular pets in the world and cat owners
want advanced veterinary care. There is a growing interest in
purebred cats which requires the highest quality reproductive care
from the general veterinary practitioners. In Feline Reproduction,
all aspects of reproduction in the queen and the tom are presented
by a global author team. Beginning with basic anatomy and normal
reproduction, this book reviews practical knowledge about feline
pregnancy, neonatal care, breeding soundness exams, and semen
cryopreservation. This book also provides the most current and
comprehensive information about abnormal conditions affecting
feline reproduction, such as infertility, spontaneous abortion and
contraception. Covering both pets and nondomestic species, this
feline reproduction book will prove to be essential for the general
veterinary practitioner, veterinary student, animal scientist, and
experienced cat breeder.
Through its representation, cosmetic surgery impacts on us all, not just those who go "under the knife." Women's magazines teem with its promises and horror stories; feminists ardently debate its status as harmful or heroic; surgeons and regulators compete to define which procedures can be offered and how. This book investigates the ways in which cosmetic surgery is shaping gender, and in the process, it questions contemporary cultural studies assumptions about how we read the media.
The documents adopted by the United Nations World Conference on
Women during the Decade for Women (1975-1985) set forth a policy
agenda for national and local governments, international
institutions, and women's groups worldwide. The dialogue among
women at the nongovernmental forums held in tandem with these
conferences served to identify, refine, and reassess the issues
addressed in the official documents. In this volume, Dr. Fraser has
condensed the four major documents of the Decade, retaining much of
the original language, and describes the context in which agendas
for policies, programs, and research were developed. The opening
chapters offer a historical perspective on the establishment of
International Women's Year, the Decade for Women, and the U.N.
Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination
Against Women. Throughout the book the author analyzes the
influence of Third World women on the formulation of the agenda and
discusses the interaction between the official and NGO conferences.
She concludes by assessing the results in policy and programmatic
terms and by exploring their implications for the future.
