Enough Because We Can Stop Cervical Cancer
Medicine
About
9781009412650 Hardback AUD $37.95 / NZD $40.95 Available January 2024 Dr Linda Eckert, University of Washington
Cervical cancer kills almost 350,000 women each year. What’s more horrifying, is that millions have died of this disease that’s nearly 100% preventable. It’s no secret that healthcare is full of inequities, with a severe lack of accessible screening programs. But women’s health care is also impeded by cultural, gender, and political barriers, issues that have combined to create devastating consequences. A leading expert in cervical cancer prevention, Dr Linda Eckert takes her years of experience and weaves it together with the voices of the courageous women who use their own experience of cervical cancer to advocate for change. This heart-breaking, yet hopeful, book takes you through the world of cervical cancer with evidence-based information, personal stories and actionable outcomes. Society flourishes when women have access to safe and affordable healthcare. Together we can make this need a reality and eliminate the world’s most preventable cancer.

Written by Dr Linda Eckert, an expert in gynecology, immunization and cervical cancer, the book is grounded in her decades of experience working with women around the world. Information is evidence-based but accessible as she explores the reasons for such a persistently high death toll and the barriers to changing it Stories told by survivors or patients’ families paint a picture of the impact this deadly disease has on women and their communities. These powerful tales are both heartbreaking in their portrayal of loss, as well as passionate and optimistic in their advocacy for change
Advance praise ‘Beautifully written, Enough is a searing call to arms, for too many women are dying of cervical cancer when we have the tools to save their lives.

The Trojan Horse and Other Stories Ten Ancient Creatures That Make Us Human Classical studies
About
9781009411387 Hardback AUD $47.95 / NZD $51.95 Available February 2024 Julia Kindt, University of Sydney
What makes us human? What, if anything, sets us apart from all other creatures? Ever since Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, the answer to these questions has pointed to our own intrinsic animal nature. This grippingly written and provocative book boldly reveals how the ancient world mobilised concepts of ‘the animal’ and ‘animality’ to conceive of the human in a variety of illuminating ways. Through ten stories about marvelous mythical beings – from the Trojan Horse to the Cyclops, and from Androcles’ lion to the Minotaur – Julia Kindt unlocks fresh ways of thinking about humanity that extend from antiquity to the present and that ultimately challenge our understanding of who we really are.

Advance praise ‘Julia Kindt has found a miraculous new lens through which to scrutinise our oldest, most loved stories and find in them colours, shapes and qualities that we have never really seen before. Humankind’s relationship with animals has been examined through archaeology, history and art, but never before, to my knowledge, through myth, legend and story. The insights that this absorbing and imaginative approach reveal are enthralling and profound. The stories are told with wit, imagination and sparkle; the animals who star in them brought wondrously to life.’ Stephen Fry

Drugs, Money, and Secret Handshakes The Unstoppable Growth of Prescription Drug Prices Law
About
9781009432948 New in Paperback AUD $30.95 / NZD $33.95 Available November 2023 Robin Feldman
In the warped world of prescription drug pricing, generic drugs can cost more than branded ones, old drugs can be relaunched at astronomical prices, and low-cost options are shut out of the market. In Drugs, Money and Secret Handshakes, Robin Feldman shines a light into the dark corners of the pharmaceutical industry to expose a web of shadowy deals in which higher-priced drugs receive favorable treatment and patients are channeled toward the most expensive medicines. At the center of this web are the highly secretive middle players who establish coverage levels for patients and negotiate with drug companies. By offering lucrative payments to these middle players (as well as to doctors and hospitals), drug companies ensure that inexpensive drugs never gain traction. This system of perverse incentives has delivered the kind of exorbitant drug prices - and profits - that everyone loves except for those who pay the bills.

About
9781009218214 Paperback AUD $28.95 / NZD $31.95 Available February 2024 Stanley Ulijaszek, University of Oxford
Most people have some dissatisfaction or concern about body weight, fatness, or obesity, either personally or professionally. This book shows how the popular understanding of obesity is often at odds with scientific understandings, and how misunderstandings about people with obesity can further contribute to the problem. It describes, in an approachable way, interconnected debates about obesity in public policy, medicine and public health, and how media and social media engage people in everyday life in those debates. In chapters considering body fat and fatness, genetics, metabolism, food and eating, inequality, blame and stigma, and physical activity, this book brings separate domains of obesity research into the field of complexity. By doing so, it aids navigation through the minefield of misunderstandings about body weight, fatness, and obesity that exist today, after decades of mostly failed policies and interventions.

Covers a wealth of unexpected phenomena in the domain of sex and reproduction, discussing a number of issues that have previously been overlooked Features examples from across the tree of life, providing arguments to go beyond the narrow popular perspectives on sex and reproduction Identifies issues across the amazing disparity of reproductive phenomena, which are concisely explained and illustrated by examples from all the main branches of the tree of life
Our understanding of reproduction and reproductive processes is often biased towards the behaviour of organisms most familiar to us. As such, the amazing disparity of the phenomena of reproduction and sex is often overlooked. Understanding Reproduction addresses all the main facets of this large chapter of the life sciences, including discussions of asexual reproduction, parthenogenesis, sex determination, reproductive effort, and much more. The book features an abundance of examples from across the tree of life, including animals, plants, fungi, protists and bacteria. Written in an accessible and easy to digest style, overcoming the intimidating diversity of the technical terminology, this book will appeal to interested general readers, biologists, science educators, philosophers and medical doctors.
About the Authors Giuseppe Fusco Giuseppe Fusco is Associate Professor of Zoology at the Department of Biology of the University of Padova. His research is in the area of evolutionary biology, with a focus on the variation produced in each generation through reproduction and development, the ‘raw material’ on which natural selection and other mechanisms of evolutionary change operate. Alessandro Minelli Alessandro Minelli was Professor of Zoology at the University of Padova until his retirement in 2011. He previously served as the Speciality Chief Editor for evolutionary developmental biology for the journal, Frontiers in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. He was previously Vice-President of the European Society for Evolutionary Biology.
Advance praise ‘Fusco and Minelli provide a very clear and accessible overview of the strange and wonderful diversity of reproductive strategies and mechanisms in animals, plants and other organisms. They explain key concepts, define important terms, and place reproductive modes within an ecological and evolutionary context. This book will be a useful reference for biologists, students and even curious non-specialists.’ Russell Bonduriansky, University of New South Wales

Byron: A Life in Ten Letters
English literature
About
9781009200165 Hardback AUD $47.95 / NZD $51.95 Available February 2024 Andrew Stauffer, University of Virginia
Lord Byron was the most celebrated of all the Romantic poets. Troubled, handsome, sexually fluid, disabled, and transgressive, he wrote his way to international fame – and scandal – before finding a kind of redemption in the Greek Revolution. He also left behind the vast trove of thrilling letters (to friends, relatives, lovers, and more) that form the core of this remarkable biography. Published to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Byron’s death, and adopting a fresh approach, it explores his life and work through some of his best, most resonant correspondence. Each chapter opens with Byron’s own voice – as if we have opened a letter from the poet himself – followed by a vivid account of the emotions and experiences that missive touches. This gripping life traces the meteoric trajectory of a poet whose brilliance shook the world and whose legacy continues to shape art and culture to this day.

Gripping: Lord Byron is arguably the most perennially alluring of all the Romantic poets Satisfying: a book that gives its readers a rich sense of Byron’s whole life, and his continuing importance, studded as it is with anecdotes and quotations, all in a fresh and compact form Immersive: affords to its readers the singular pleasure of looking over the poet’s shoulder and of imagining their own way into his life as one of his correspondents
Andrew Stauffer is Professor of English at the University of Virginia and the President of the Byron Society of America. He is the author of Anger, Revolution, and Romanticism (Cambridge University Press, 2005) and of Book Traces: Nineteenth-Century Readers and the Future of the Library (2020), which was the first recipient in 2021 of the inaugural Marilyn Gaull Book Award of the Wordsworth-Coleridge Association. He is in addition the co-editor of Lord Byron: Selected Writings (2023).
Advance praise ‘This is the best short introduction to Byron available. Stauffer steers us through a tumultuous life with poise and expert authority. The letters provide vivid snapshots of Byron at key moments across three decades and the biography that emerges is deeply absorbing.’ Jane Stabler, Professor of Romantic Literature, University of St Andrews ‘Compelling, charming, and pleasingly scandal-packed – this is Byron, brilliantly distilled.’ Emily Brand, Author of The Fall of the House of Byron
