  What's sexy about saving the planet? Funny you should ask. Because that is precisely—or, perhaps, broadly—what Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens have spent many years bringing to light in their live art, exhibitions, and films. In 2008, Sprinkle and Stephens married the Earth, which set them on the path to explore the realms of ecosexuality as they became lovers with the Earth and made their mutual pleasure an embodied expression of passion for the environment. Ever since, they have been not just pushing but obliterating the boundaries circumscribing biology and ecology, creating ecosexual art in their performance of an environmentalism that is feminist, queer, sensual, sexual, posthuman, materialist, exuberant, and steeped in humor. 
   
   
   
  Assuming the Ecosexual Position tells of childhood moments that pointed to a future of ecosexuality—for Annie, in her family swimming pool in Los Angeles; for Beth, savoring forbidden tomatoes from the vine on her grandparents' Appalachian farm. The book describes how the two came together as lovers and collaborators, how they took a stand against homophobia and xenophobia, and how this union led to the miraculous conception of the Love Art Laboratory, which involved influential performance artists Linda M. Montano, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, and feminist pornographer Madison Young.

  Coding with Python - Advanced...

  This book will help you learn advanced level coding in Python. The first thing is to install Python. I have used Python IDLE that also is called Python shell for coding. I have also used Python text editor to write and run full programs. You can open an editor. Open the shell first and then open a new file from the file menu on the top bar. The newly opened file will appear different because it is not a shell but a text editor. Once you write a program in the editor, you can run it by clicking f5. The editor will ask you to save the file. Save it and run accordingly to get the results.  
  Python programming, just like all other types of coding, is meant to solve the problems that end-users face. To do that, you need to get additional information from the end-user. For example, if someone needs to check whether he is eligible to qualify for playing in the basketball team or whether he is qualified to vote in the election, you can create a program that can give him the right answer he needs.  
  In this kind of program, we must know the age of the user before we provide an answer, which means that we must build an interface that demands an answer from the user with respect to his or age. The user will enter his or her age in the program with the help of the input() method. Once he or she enters the age, they can know the answer. You can design your program, such as to ask them their names so that you can store their information for future reference.

  Vagina Obscura - An Anatomical...

  A scientific journey to the center of the new female body.The Latin term for the female genitalia, pudendum, means “parts for which you should be ashamed.” Until 1651, ovaries were called female testicles. The fallopian tubes are named for a man. Named, claimed, and shamed: Welcome to the story of the female body, as penned by men.Today, a new generation of (mostly) women scientists is finally redrawing the map. With modern tools and fresh perspectives, they’re looking at the organs traditionally bound up in reproduction, the uterus, ovaries, vagina, and seeing within them a new biology of change and resilience. Through their eyes, journalist Rachel E. Gross takes readers on an anatomical odyssey to the center of this new world?a world where the uterus regrows itself, ovaries pump out fresh eggs, and the clitoris pulses beneath the surface like a shimmering pyramid of nerves. Full of wit and wonder, Vagina Obscura is a celebratory testament to how the landscape of knowledge can be rewritten to better serve everyone.
