Sex in an Age of Technological Reproduction
Author: Carl Djerassi
Publisher: Univ of Wisconsin Press
ISBN: 9780299227944
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Carl Djerassi is one of "the fathers of the Pill"--he was awarded the National Medal of Science for the first synthesis of a steroid oral contraceptive--and has had a prolific additional career as a writer of fiction, plays, and dialogues about science. In these two plays, ICSI and Taboos, he dramatizes the social transformations and contested viewpoints created by advances in reproductive science and technology. Two of the most startling developments in contemporary science have radically disrupted the historical connection between sex and reproduction: in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)--an assisted reproductive technique that directly injects a single sperm into an egg. The word play ICSI--designed for classroom readings--presents, in the format of a contentious talk-show dialogue, the science of direct-injection fertilization and the ethical issues connected with it. A DVD included in the book provides video of the ICSI injection process as viewed through a microscope, to be used in performances of the ICSI one-act dialogue. Taboos, a full-length play, turns the screws on characters that reflect a polarized America. Two couples--lesbian partners and a conservative husband and wife struggling with infertility--must make choices in a drama that examines the disjunction of sexual reproduction and the physical act of sex.

ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 8859
Book Description
The anthology '60+ Western Novels by Max Brand (Including The Dan Barry Series, The Ronicky Doone Trilogy & The Silvertip Collection)' is a monumental collection that captures the essence and breadth of the American West through the pen of Max Brand, the nom de plume of Frederick Schiller Faust. This collection embodies the diverse landscapes of the Western genre, ranging from the untamed wilderness to the conflict between man and nature, and the quest for justice in a lawless land. The anthology showcases a variety of literary styles from gripping narratives, rich character studies, to intricate plots that intertwine fate and redemption, establishing the profound significance of Brand's work within the Western literary canon. Notably, the inclusion of entire series allows readers to deeply engage with recurring characters and their evolving stories, demonstrating Brand's skill in character development and narrative continuity. The contributing author, Frederick Schiller Faust, under his more famous alias Max Brand, was a prolific figure in early 20th-century literature, whose work significantly shaped the Western genre. His narratives were not merely tales of adventure but were imbued with a keen psychological depth and an exploration of human nature, making them resonate with readers and scholars alike. Faust's prolific output and his ability to capture the spirit of the American frontier have rendered his works an integral part of the literary movement that revered the West as a canvas for storytelling. This collection, therefore, not only celebrates the legacy of a remarkable author but also serves as a critical resource for understanding the evolution of Western literature. '60+ Western Novels by Max Brand' is an indispensable anthology for anyone interested in the development of the Western genre, American literature, or the narratives that have shaped perceptions of the American West. It offers readers a unique opportunity to explore a significant body of work by a single author, presenting a comprehensive view of Max Brands contribution to literature.

On the surface, the Paul family are living the liberal, middle-class Scandinavian dream. Max Paul is a renowned sociologist and his wife Katriina has a well-paid job in the public sector.
