        Birth controlled

        Selective reproduction and neoliberal eugenics in South Africa and India

        by Amrita Pande, Srila Roy, Nicky Falkof

        Birth controlled analyses the world of selective reproduction - the politics of who gets to legitimately reproduce the future - through a cross-cultural analysis of three modes of 'controlling' birth: contraception, reproductive violence and repro-genetic technologies. It argues that as fertility rates decline worldwide, the fervour to control fertility, and fertile bodies, does not dissipate; what evolves is the preferred mode of control. Although new technologies like those that assist conception or allow genetic selection may appear to be an antithesis of other violent versions of population control, this book demonstrates that both are part of the same continuum. All population control policies target and vilify women (Black women in particular), and coerce them into subjecting their bodies to state and medical surveillance; Birth controlled argues that assisted reproductive technologies and repro-genetic technologies employ a similar and stratified burden of blame and responsibility based on gender, race, class and caste. To empirically and historically ground the analysis, the book includes contributions from two postcolonial nations, South Africa and India, examining interactions between the history of colonialism and the economics of neoliberal markets and their influence on the technologies and politics of selective reproduction. The book provides a critical, interdisciplinary and cutting-edge dialogue around the interconnected issues that shape reproductive politics in an ostensibly 'post-population control' era. The contributions draw on a breadth of disciplines ranging from gender studies, sociology, medical anthropology, politics and science and technology studies to theology, public health and epidemiology, facilitating an interdisciplinary dialogue around the interconnected modes of controlling birth and practices of neo-eugenics.

        L’embryon et son âme dans les sources grecques (VIe s. av. J.-C.-Ve s. apr. J.-C.)

        by Marie-Hélène CONGOURDEAU

        Comment l’âme vient-elle à l’embryon? Quel rapport le corps entretient-il avec son âme? Cet ouvrage explore les théories des tenants d’une épopée de l’âme tombée du ciel, attelée à un corps et cherchant à regagner le monde des esprits purs, et celles des irréductibles de l’âme non séparable pour qui l’âme ne peut se concevoir indépendamment du corps qu’elle anime. D’où vient l’âme? Quand s’unit-elle au corps en gestation? L’enquête montre que c’est sur ces fondations que se bâtira la réflexion médiévale, avec ses retombées juridiques et éthiques.

        Twin Stars and a Mother from Mars

        Heartache and joy in an IVF world

        by Tru Spencer

        In the beginning, there were two. Somewhere in the middle, she felt like she was the only one on the planet. In the end, was her heart complete? [] Once you’re on, it’s difficult to get off, and when Tru Spencer found herself on the IVF merry-go-round it seemed as though life had temporarily come to a grinding halt. The conflict between lonely isolation and excited hope was exhausting, and the up and down range of emotions she was willing to endure astonished even her. When her wildest dream was confirmed she thought she could relax, but the nature of that dream meant the battle was only half-won. Her reserves of strength were needed right until the end – would her twin stars finally shine?

        75 Ways to Stay Happy

        Illustrated With One Liners On Each Page For A Quick Read

        by Aishwarya Kalyan

        V&S Publishers, with a view to help people in their need to save time and yet read to learn, has put forth, 75 popular quotes, anecdotes or sayings in this one of a kind unique book 75 Ways to Stay Happy, in which every Tip/Hack on each page is supported by a caricature type illustration. The concept behind making this out-of-the-box book is– “A picture is worth a thousand words”, which is a well-known adage meaning that a number of different ideas can be conveyed by a single image more effectively than a verbal description. People instead of reading a text, opt for videos or images on social media for learning and leisure reading. We, at V&S Publishers, have already embraced this philosophy in this book knowing well that static pictures leave a larger impact on readers than text. Instead of using old school definitions and textual descriptions, the book uses a one liner with an illustration on each page similar to posts or memes on social media to convey the idea. This book is a part of a series having 10 books with each dedicated to a different idea like happiness, riches, health etc. This book, in the shortest way possible, provides ‘75 Ways to Stay Happy’ for the common man. The book is suitable for all age groups and is a simple fun read.
