    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.

    Zoology is the scientific study of animals, their biology, behavior, and interactions with their environment. As one of the core branches of biology, zoology seeks to understand the vast diversity of animal life on Earth, ranging from the simplest invertebrates to the most complex mammals. It encompasses a wide array of topics, including animal anatomy, physiology, behavior, ecology, and evolution, offering insights into the very essence of life itself. 
    The importance of studying zoology is far-reaching. Animals are not only a key part of the planet’s biodiversity but also play vital roles in ecosystems that support life on Earth. They are integral to food webs, pollination, seed dispersal, and maintaining the balance of natural systems. By understanding animals, zoologists can contribute to the conservation and preservation of species and habitats, ensuring the survival of both the creatures themselves and the ecosystems they support. 
    Zoology, as a discipline, has evolved significantly over centuries. From the earliest observations of animal behavior and anatomy by ancient civilizations to the development of modern scientific techniques, the field has grown to encompass various specialized subfields. Among the many branches of zoology, some focus on specific groups of animals, such as entomology (study of insects), ornithology (study of birds), and ichthyology (study of fish). Other areas, such as ethology, examine animal behavior, while ecology explores the interactions between animals and their environments. 
    An essential part of zoology is the understanding of animal classification. The diverse array of species that inhabit our planet is categorized based on shared characteristics.

    “This culinary cosmic outing is as creative as it is informative.” — STARRED review, Publishers Weekly
    		 
    From Impossible Burgers to lab-made sushi, two witty, plugged-in food scientists explore leading-edge AgTech for the answer to feeding a settlement on Mars — and nine billion Earthlings too
    		 
    Feeding a Martian is one of the greatest challenges in the history of agriculture. Will a Red Planet menu involve cheese and ice cream made from vats of fermented yeast? Will medicine cabinets overflow with pharmaceuticals created from engineered barley grown using geothermal energy? Will the protein of choice feature a chicken breast grown in a lab? Weird, wonderful, and sometimes disgusting, figuring out “what’s for dinner on Mars” is far from trivial. If we can figure out how to sustain ourselves on Mars, we will know how to do it on Earth too. In Dinner on Mars, authors Fraser and Newman show how setting the table off-planet will supercharge efforts to produce food sustainably here at home.   
    		 
    For futurists, sci-fi geeks, tech nuts, business leaders, and anyone interested in the future of food, Dinner on Mars puts sustainability and adaptability on the menu in the face of our climate crisis.
