Gender Studies WWW.UBCPRESS.CA/GENDERSTUDIES Who’s Having This Baby? Perspectives on Birthing Helen M. Sterk, Carla Hay, Alice Kehoe, Krista Radcliffe, and Leona Vande Vusse Five authors use multidisciplinary approaches to examine verbal birthing narratives. They present a variety of perspectives: that of a rhetorician, interested in power relations among all people involved in the birthing process; a historian, who exposes the history of how women’s bodies have been viewed and scripted according to the logic of an assembly line; a literary scholar, who explores the cultural losses caused by women’s silence on what it means to give birth; a scholar, who discusses the colonization practised on Native American women’s bodies when their birthing practices are divorced from their culture; and finally, a midwife, who discusses how incorporating women as partners rather than patients in the birthing process leads to significantly better outcomes for women during the birth experience. Helen M. Sterk is at Calvin College. The other authors are all at Marquette University. MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS May 224 pages, 6 x 9” ISBN 0-87013-615-1 paper, $38.95 CRO Rethinking Gender and Therapy The Changing Identities of Women Edited by Susannah Izzard and Nicola Barden This book brings together psychoanalytic theory and sociological analysis to explore the interrelationship between the inner and outer worlds that impact on a woman’s identity. How a woman’s experience is depicted and perceived by the society of which she is part profoundly affects how she experiences herself. This book explores that dynamic by examining key life stages such as infancy, adolescence, and old age, and key issues such as relationships, work, and family. Susannah Izzard teaches at the University of Birmingham. Nicola Barden is Head of Counselling at the University of Portsmouth. OPEN UNIVERSITY PRESS January 224 pages, 6 x 9” ISBN 0-335-20606-9 paper, $41.95 CRO At Home on This Earth Two Centuries of U.S. Women’s Nature Writing Edited by Lorraine Anderson and Thomas S.

UNIVERSITY PRESS OF NEW ENGLAND April 454 pages, 6 x 9” ISBN 1-58465-193-8 paper, $49.95 CRO Masculinities and Culture John Beynon Masculinities and Culture explores how “masculinities,” or ways of “being a man,” are anchored in time and place, the products of sociohistorical and cultural circumstances. It examines the emergence of a masculinity fit for the Empire in the mid-to-late nineteenth century, and, by way of contrast, the more recent media-driven, commercial new Man, before examining some of the media discourses shaping masculinities today. Beynon considers the formation of particular masculinities in specific settings, such as prisons, hospitals, and schools, which both define and are defined by strongly held concepts of acceptable masculine behaviour. This is a comprehensive introduction to contemporary debates concerning masculinities as gendered constructions. John Beynon is Head of Media and Cultural Studies, University of Glamorgan. OPEN UNIVERSITY PRESS April 192 pages, 6 3/4 x 9" ISBN 0-335-19988-7 paper, $36.95 CRO Seeing Her Sex Medical Archives and the Female Body Roberta McGrath Through a detailed analysis of visual images of the female body, this book examines the relationship between human reproduction and cultural representation from 1750-1910. With examples drawn from medical archives covering engraving, photography, radiography, and microscopy, this interdisciplinary book employs feminist theory, the history of medicine, and philosophy of science, as well as the history of photography. It argues that these historical images – shocking, erroneous, provocative – are crucial in understanding how the subject of human generation has now become the corporate and government-funded science of reproductive biotechnology. Roberta McGrath is Associate Lecturer in Photographic Theory and Criticism at Napier University, Edinburgh.

Craig and Richard King See page 38 for complete listing Awe for the Tiger, Love for the Lamb A Chronicle of Sensibility to Animals Rod Preece In our modern world, where human will routinely presides over the natural world, it is easy to imagine that sensibility to animals has been merely a matter of peripheral concern in human history. Rod Preece, in this impressively researched volume, demonstrates that, on the contrary, respect for animals has always been a part of human consciousness. Awe for the Tiger, Love for the Lamb brings together the most significant statements of sensibility to animals in the history of thought. Each chapter begins with an introduction that explains the significance of the passages, and relates them to each other culturally, historically, and philosophically. Myth, religion, literature, philosophy, and parliamentary debates are all represented in this compendium whose time frame stretches from the early days of recorded human history to the beginning of the twentieth century. This unique book will be welcomed by scholars interested in animal studies and the history of ideas, as well as those with a concern for animal life. Rod Preece is Professor of Political Science at Wilfrid Laurier University.
