Sinossi

Mimosa Leaf Response explores the fascinating leaf-folding mechanism of the Mimosa pudica, or sensitive plant. This rapid response to touch is driven by intricate plant physiology, involving turgor pressure changes within specialized motor organs called pulvinus. These changes are triggered by action potentials, electrical signals akin to nerve impulses, showcasing sophisticated plant signaling. The book details how the initial touch stimulus sets off a cascade of events, leading to water expulsion from pulvinus cells and subsequent leaf collapse. It examines the roles of ion channels and calcium signaling in this process.

 
Progressing from general plant physiology to specific touch-induced responses, the book analyzes hydraulic mechanisms and the adaptive significance of this unique defense strategy against herbivores and reducing water loss, integrating molecular mechanisms with ecological consequences. This book uniquely combines electrophysiological recordings, microscopic imaging, and experimental studies. It provides a comprehensive overview suitable for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the remarkable abilities of plants, highlighting bio-inspired engineering applications and connections to plant neurobiology.

    An eye-opening exploration of the medical origins of gender in modern US history.  
     
    Today, a world without “gender” is hard to imagine. Gender is at the center of contentious political and social debates, shapes policy decisions, and informs our everyday lives. Its formulation, however, is lesser known: Gender was first used in clinical practice. This book tells the story of the invention of gender in American medicine, detailing how it was shaped by mid-twentieth-century American notions of culture, personality, and social engineering.  
     
    Sandra Eder shows how the concept of gender transformed from a pragmatic tool in the sex assignment of children with intersex traits in the 1950s to an essential category in clinics for transgender individuals in the 1960s. Following gender outside the clinic, she reconstructs the variable ways feminists integrated gender into their theories and practices in the 1970s. The process by which ideas about gender became medicalized, enforced, and popularized was messy, and the route by which gender came to be understood and applied through the treatment of patients with intersex traits was fraught and contested. In historicizing the emergence of the sex/gender binary, Eder reveals the role of medical practice in developing a transformative idea and the interdependence between practice and wider social norms that inform the attitudes of physicians and researchers. She shows that ideas like gender can take on a life of their own and may be used to question the normative perceptions they were based on. Illuminating and deeply researched, the book closes a notable gap in the history of gender and will inspire current debates on the relationship between social norms and medical practice.
