  Feminism in the Wild - How Human...

  In Feminism in the Wild, Ambika Kamath and Melina Packer reveal how scientists studying animal behavior have long projected human norms and values onto animals while seeking to understand them. When scientific studies conclude that these norms and values are natural in animals, it makes it easier to think of them as natural in humans too. And because scientists, historically and to this day, largely belong to elite, powerful segments of society, the norms and values embedded into animal behavior science match those of the already powerful. How can animal behavior science escape this trap of naturalizing dominant culture? 
   
   
   
  Drawing from decades of feminist, antiracist, queer, disability justice, and Marxist contributions—including those of biologists—Kamath and Packer break down persistent assumptions in the status quo of animal behavior science and offer a multitude of alternative approaches. Core concepts in animal behavior science and evolutionary biology are carefully contextualized and critically reexamined. This unique collaboration between an animal behavior scientist and a feminist science studies scholar is an illuminating and hopeful book for anyone who is curious about how animals behave, and anyone who wants to break free from scientific approaches that perpetuate systems of oppression.

  Metal Detecting - Tips...

  Metal detecting involves using a metal detector, an electronic device designed to find metal objects nearby. These devices vary in form, from handheld wands to large industrial machines. The main components of a metal detector include the control box, which houses the electronic circuitry, controls, and batteries; the search coil, also known as the antenna, which senses metal objects; the shaft, which connects the search coil to the control box and is often adjustable for comfort; and sometimes a stabilizer to keep the unit steady during use. 
    
  The search coil generates an electromagnetic field, and when this field encounters a metal object, it creates a disturbance. The control box processes this disturbance and sends a signal to the user, typically an audible beep or a visual display. Metal detecting is used for various purposes, including treasure hunting, where individuals search for coins, jewelry, relics, and other valuable items lost or buried; archaeology, to locate historical artifacts at dig sites; security, for scanning individuals or luggage for concealed weapons or contraband; and construction, to detect metal pipes or rebar in walls, floors, or underground. It is also a popular hobby for enthusiasts who explore parks, beaches, and other areas for interesting finds.

These include everything from harassment, dismissive behavior, and lack of credit for their contributions, to pay inequity, extra hurdles to advancement, and more. And while many organizations are looking to address these issues with top-down initiatives, there's also an important role for individuals to play in creating a more inclusive culture via everyday acts of allyship. 
  In this new book, inclusive workplace expert Karen Catlin brings her popular Better Allies® approach to healthcare workplaces.
