Fasting Girls: Their Physiology and Pathology

William A. Hammond

Sinopse

In "Fasting Girls: Their Physiology and Pathology," William A. Hammond meticulously explores the complex interplay between fasting, health, and society through a lens of medical analysis and historical context. Hammond delves into the physiological and psychological impacts of prolonged fasting, drawing upon case studies and anecdotal evidence to illustrate its effects on women, particularly during the Victorian era—a time marked by cultural fascination and concern over female health. Written in a clear yet scholarly tone, the text bridges medical science with sociocultural commentary, providing insights into the intersection of gender, morality, and health practices. Hammond, a prominent neurologist of the late 19th century, was influenced by the prevailing medical thoughts of his time, including the burgeoning interest in psychosomatic disorders. His extensive background in medicine, together with a keen awareness of the societal expectations placed on women, drove his exploration of how fasting became a site of both personal autonomy and societal control. His work reflects a deep concern for women's health and the stigmas associated with their bodily choices, making his insights both relevant and provocative. "Fasting Girls" is an essential read for anyone interested in gender studies, medical history, or the interplay of science and culture. Hammond's rigorous analysis invites readers to reconsider the narratives surrounding female fasting and its implications, making it a valuable addition to both academic libraries and personal collections.

The Shocking Truth about...

Zoey Fraisers

Educational inequity remains one of the most pressing challenges facing modern society. Despite decades of effort to create equal opportunities for all students, disparities persist, especially along lines of race, socioeconomic status, and geography. These inequities are not merely abstract concepts but realities that shape the educational experiences of millions of children worldwide, with long-lasting effects on their futures.
At its core, educational inequity refers to the unequal distribution of resources, opportunities, and outcomes within the education system. It manifests in various forms, such as disparities in school funding, access to qualified teachers, availability of educational materials, and differences in academic performance across different student groups. For example, students from low-income families or rural areas often face additional barriers, including overcrowded classrooms, outdated textbooks, and limited access to extracurricular activities. Meanwhile, students from wealthier backgrounds tend to attend schools with better facilities, more advanced technology, and more specialized support.
The impact of these disparities is profound. Research shows that students who attend underfunded schools are more likely to experience lower academic achievement, higher dropout rates, and limited access to higher education. Additionally, the long-term effects of these inequities extend beyond the classroom, influencing future employment opportunities, income levels, and overall life outcomes. For marginalized communities, the cycle of inequality can be difficult to break, perpetuating systemic disadvantages that span generations.

Copyright - What Everyone Needs...

Neil Weinstock Netanel

Copyright law was once an esoteric backwater, the special province of professional authors, publishers, and media companies. This is no longer the case. In the age of social media and cloud storage, we have become a copying and sharing culture. Much of our everyday communication, work, and entertainment now directly involves copyright law. 
 
 
 
Copyright law and policy are ferociously contested. Record labels, movie studios, book publishers, newspapers, and many authors rage that those who share music, video, text, and images over the Internet are "stealing" their property. By contrast, copyright industry critics celebrate digital technology's potential to make the universe of movies, music, books, and art accessible anytime and anywhere—and to empower individuals the world over to express themselves by sharing and remixing those works. These critics argue that excessive copyright enforcement threatens that promise and stifles creativity. 
 
 
 
In Copyright: What Everyone Needs to Know®, Neil Netanel explains the concepts needed to understand the heated debates about copyright law and policy. He identifies the combatants, unpacks their arguments, and illuminates what is at stake in the debates over copyright's present and future.
