Description
The Body is a multidisciplinary collection of essays from a number of world-renowned experts on the topic of the body arising from the 14th annual Darwin College lecture series. It deals with our understanding of the modern body from a number of different standpoints. The opening essays deal with topics of developmental biology of the body, the human genome project, and in vitro fertilisation and the possibility of human clones. Other essays explore the subject of bodies and the criminal mind, dead bodies and human rights, science and the politics of incarnation, bodies at the boundaries of pornography and art and the body in archeology.
