  New Zealand’s relatively recent decriminalisation of sex work and its unusual success in combatting COVID-19 have both attracted international media interest. This accessibly written book uses the lens of news media coverage to consider the pandemic’s impacts on both sex workers and public perceptions of the industry. Analysing the stigmatisation of sex work in both short- and long-term contexts, the book addresses the impacts of intersectional oppressions or marginalisations on sex workers, and the ways sex work advocacy relates to other social justice movements. It unpicks how New Zealand’s decriminalisation approach functions under stress, offering valuable information for advocates, activists and scholars.

  Traditional family structures are adapting to make room for children conceived in previously unimaginable ways. Whole industries and internet-enabled communities are being built around reproductive technologies. And there's more change coming as science continues to move forward. Combining intimate personal stories with cutting-edge research, Reconceptions invites listeners to reconsider their own ideas about parenthood and embrace a new vision of the meaning of family. 
   
   
   
  In 2012, Rachel Lehmann-Haupt, an award-winning journalist, chose to begin a family on her own as a single mother by choice. In the years since her son was born, Rachel's interest in collaborative reproduction has only grown—leading her to search for pioneers in reproductive science and the different permutations of families that this science is making possible. In Reconceptions, she shares intimate stories from the bleeding edge of society's redefinition of family—including her own experience of creating a new kind of tribe with her son's donor siblings, and their parents. 
   
   
   
  Reconceptions offers a compelling vision of what advances in reproductive science mean for the definition of family in the twenty-first century and beyond and imparts a modern story for anyone looking to better understand their own familial relationships—no matter what their family looks like.

  The Shocking Truth about Weight...

  The weight loss industry has grown into a multi-billion-dollar business, promising rapid results and easy solutions for shedding unwanted pounds. From trendy diets to expensive supplements, people are constantly bombarded with advertisements claiming to have the "secret" to effortless weight loss. However, beneath the glossy marketing and celebrity endorsements lies a harsh reality—many of these programs are ineffective, unsustainable, and even dangerous.  
    
  Over the years, people have been conditioned to believe that weight loss is as simple as following a strict diet or taking a pill. Yet, despite the rise of countless weight loss programs, obesity rates continue to climb, leaving many to wonder: do these programs actually work? The truth is, while some approaches may provide temporary results, most fail to deliver long-term success. Many weight loss programs are built on unrealistic expectations, misleading claims, and a fundamental misunderstanding of how the human body works.  
    
  One of the biggest problems with commercial weight loss programs is the focus on quick fixes rather than sustainable lifestyle changes. Crash diets that drastically cut calories may lead to rapid weight loss, but they are often followed by an inevitable rebound once normal eating resumes. Similarly, weight loss supplements and detox teas are marketed as miracle solutions, yet they often lack scientific backing and can pose serious health risks.
