  "Essential reading for lovers of the Great outdoors" —Roger Cox, Scotsman magazine 
   
   
   
  Longlisted for the 2022 Highland Book Prize 
   
   
   
  In 2019, Jenna Watt took part in the stalking of a hind on the vast Highland estate of Corrour: part of an immersive attempt to understand the ideas that lie behind 'rewilding', and what it means emotionally and physically to participate in Scotland's deer cull. Piece by piece and chapter by chapter she unravels the story of that one day spent hunting the hind, interlaced with her discovery that her ancestors were deer stalkers, game keepers, and ghillies on a Highland estate, who once took part in increasingly controversial land practices like muirburn and species persecution. 
   
   
   
  This exploration leads her into the complex and often conflict-ridden world of the rewilding movement. 
   
   
   
  In the process, Jenna comes to better understand the meaning of 'wildness', the shifting baselines of 'rewilding', and, in a world beset by climate change and species extinction, how to cope, both as an individual and as a society, with the concept of ecological grief.

  Every year, millions of baby boys are circumcised, either for purported health benefits, or for religious reasons. This book provides a comprehensive and clear explanation of the risks and rewards of that practice, which has significant effects on sexuality, psychology, and overall health. 
  Drawing on 869 research references and firsthand accounts, Dr. Lipman sheds light on the disparity between traditional views and contemporary medical perspectives. 
  Whether you're a parent contemplating the procedure for your child or an academic in search of an in-depth analysis, Circumcision provides a balanced and factual perspective on this widely performed yet increasingly debated surgery. 
  In this groundbreaking, meticulously rendered book, you will learn: 
  • Why circumcision does not improve a baby's health 
  • Why circumcision does not reduce the incidence of AIDS or urinary tract infections, as is often claimed 
  • The deep financial incentives behind the six billion-dollar circumcision industry 
  • That the pain of circumcision is equivalent to torture, and why anesthesia is rarely used 
  • Circumcision's significant physical and mental health risks, including death 
  • Why both men and women enjoy sex more if the man is uncircumcised 
  • That adherents to Judaism or Islam may not be required to ritually circumcise their child, as is often thought 
  • The history of circumcision 
  • The ethics and legality of circumcision 
  • Why America is the only country in the world with a high rate of medical circumcision
