The Technology of Orgasm
By:"Rachel P. Maines"
Published on 2001-03-01 by JHU Press
The author explores hysteria in Western medicine throughout the ages and examines the characterization of female sexuality as a disease requiring treatment. Medical authorities, she writes, were able to defend and justify the clinical production of orgasm in women as necessary to maintain the dominant view of sexuality, which defined sex as penetration to male orgasm - a practice that consistently fails to produce orgasm in a majority of the female population. This male-centered definition of satisfying and healthy coitus shaped not only the development of concepts of female sexual pathology but also the instrumentation designed to cope with them.

Makeover TV
By:"Brenda R. Weber"
Published on 2009-10-30 by Duke University Press
In 2004, roughly 25 makeover-themed reality shows aired on U.S. television. By 2009, there were more than 250, from What Not to Wear and The Biggest Loser to Dog Whisperer and Pimp My Ride. In Makeover TV, Brenda R. Weber argues that whether depicting transformations of bodies, trucks, finances, relationships, kids, or homes, makeover shows posit a self achievable only in the transition from the “Before-body”—the overweight figure, the decrepit jalopy, the cluttered home—to the “After-body,” one filled with confidence, coded with celebrity, and imbued with a renewed faith in the powers of meritocracy. The rationales and tactics invoked to achieve the After-body vary widely, from the patriotic to the market-based, and from talk therapy to feminist empowerment. The genre is unified by its contradictions: to uncover your “true self,” you must be reinvented; to be empowered, you must surrender to experts; to be special, you must look and act like everyone else. Based on her analysis of more than 2,500 hours of makeover TV, Weber argues that the much-desired After-body speaks to and makes legible broader cultural narratives about selfhood, citizenship, celebrity, and Americanness. Although makeovers are directed at both male and female viewers, their gendered logic requires that feminized subjects submit to the controlling expertise wielded by authorities. The genre does not tolerate ambiguity. Conventional (middle-class, white, ethnically anonymous, heterosexual) femininity is the goal of makeovers for women. When subjects are male, makeovers often compensate for perceived challenges to masculine independence by offering men narrative options for resistance or control. Foregoing a binary model of power and subjugation, Weber provides an account of makeover television that is as appreciative as it is critical. She reveals the makeover show as a rich and complicated text that expresses cultural desires and fears through narratives of selfhood.

By:"Annie Burrows","Margaret McPhee","Amanda McCabe"
Published on 2013-02-01 by Harlequin Enterpises AU
Never Trust A Rake by Annie Burrows Rumour has it that the Earl of Deben, the most notorious rake in London — and in need of an heir — has set aside his penchant for married mistresses and turned his skilled hand to seducing innocents! But if he expects Henrietta Gibson to respond to the click of his fingers, he’s got another thing coming. Dicing With The Dangerous Lord by Margaret McPhee Venetia Fox is London’s most sought-after actress, darling of the demi-monde and every nobleman’s desire. But she’s about to face her toughest role yet — seducing a confession from the devilishly handsome and very dangerous Lord Linwood to bring her father’s murderer to justice! The Taming Of The Rogue by Amanda McCabe Anna Barrett is more comfortable filling tankards at the White Heron theatre than shopping for corsets. Her ‘take no prisoners’ attitude has earned her a tough reputation. Where she was once innocent and naïve, now she’s vowed never to be ensnared by a man again. Except Robert Alden is not just any man...

Just Food
By:"James E. McWilliams"
Published on 2009-08-26 by Little, Brown
We suffer today from food anxiety, bombarded as we are with confusing messages about how to eat an ethical diet. Should we eat locally? Is organic really better for the environment? Can genetically modified foods be good for you? JUST FOOD does for fresh food what Fast Food Nation (Houghton Mifflin, 2001) did for fast food, challenging conventional views, and cutting through layers of myth and misinformation. For instance, an imported tomato is more energy-efficient than a local greenhouse-grown tomato. And farm-raised freshwater fish may soon be the most sustainable source of protein. Informative and surprising, JUST FOOD tells us how to decide what to eat, and how our choices can help save the planet and feed the world.
