Reproductive Books

lublin scrunches feminist theory into several smart, neat chapters while commenting on reproductive politics. i enjoyed reading it--especially the footnotes. very meaty footnotes.

A well written, nicely illustrated, quite comprehensive book on the female genital tract pathology.

The main plus are the clear illustrations all of which are in colour so it serves as an atlas as well as a textbook (versus the black and white photos of the Blaustein, which in my opinion is a better text).

This is quite recent and so up to date (this ed. was published late 2001/2002).

A book that deals with sexual disorders in a very professional and sober way. Medics here take all the problems that a man might have and detail them into very long explanations for each sexual problem. A great book for medics and people that like hard facts, [...]

I was first introduced to this book in a philosophy of science class. Judging by its cover and its then decade old copyright, I was expecting a book full of fluffy, consciousness raising complaints about science's treatment of women -- and I couldn't have been more wrong.

Hubbard first skewers the notion that science should be held as a neutral presentation of facts and data, and instead invites the reader to appreciate that nothing -- no study, no theory, no scientist -- is completely free of its societal setting and bias. The rest of the book builds on this initial idea and expands out a concept of feminist science, both in practice, in in reflection on previous scientific discoveries. She deals with politics behind how certain endevors are funded or deemed important, speaks about faulty scientific methods and fields (eugenics) and about the systematic shut out of women and their accomplishments in the various scientific fields.

Thoughtful, insightful, and highly readable, this is a highly recommended book.

Although the price is a little high for approximately 175 pages of text, this book warrants a read for anyone curious about the problem of hell. Furthermore, though written predominately from a Christian perspective this book will be useful to any religion which contains a doctrine of hell.

Kvanvig begins with what he calls the "Strong View" of hell. This Strong View contains four different points: (1) Some people are cosigned to hell; (2) Hell is a place where people exist if cosigned there; (3) Once cosigned to hell, one cannot leave; and (4) the justification for hell is retributive in nature. Kvanvig argues that one should not adopt this view for moral reasons. For on the Strong View every person in hell receives the same punishment and that punishment in infinite in nature. This seems to be unfair (not everyone is equally guilty) and unjust (no sin, if any, deserves infinite punishment). Kvanvig also thinks that the Strong View suffers from being arbitrary. Why did God choose this type of punishment out of all the open ones to him? Why must hell be "constructed" this way?

After objection to the Strong View, Kvanvig moves on to what he calls "simple solutions" which simply deny one of the four aforementioned points. He then critiques annihilation views of hell and "second chance theories" of hell. He spills much ink over attempting to show the universalism position is also faulty. Though I think his argument fails against universalism because I do not agree with his version of possible world actualization.

Eventually, Kvanvig presents his finally critique of the Strong View of hell and the simple solutions--it focuses upon God's justice instead of his love. According to Kvanvig the primary characteristic of God's nature is his love. Yet talk of justice dominates discussions upon hell. So Kvanvig crafts his own interesting and unique view of hell with an attempt to focus it around the love of God, not simply his justice. (I won't spoil the details.)

Personally, I was not entirely convinced by Kvanvig's case and question his understand of what divine love is. That being said, Kvanvig does raise very good arguments and needs to be engaged by anyone holding onto a Strong View of hell. I also felt as if his own view was a little under developed. Perhaps I am wrong and other readers will disagree with me.

Certainly worth reading.

as all the works by Barrie Jamieson, this book is a real mine of data. I recommend it to all persons interested not only in reproductive biology, but also in biodiversity studies

This book helped my husband and I understand what we needed to know about raising our child as a person, starting from before we decided to conceive into the early years of infancy. This isn't a practical book about eating right or when to purchase baby furniture--it's much more than that. Although our son doesn't follow the religion that is associated with the wisdom in this book, the results of the knowledge we applied is evident even 17 years later. This book is a must for people who are looking for information on how to raise conscious beings--the implications are enormous.
