Organisms reproduce to ensure the continued survival of their respective species. For humans, our ability to produce offspring and contribute to genetic variability in the world is made possible by our body’s reproductive system. In The Reproductive System, Third Edition, learn how the development of the reproductive systems in both males and females depends on the delicate and coordinated balance of genetic makeup, hormones, and the nervous system. Also examined are the reproductive systems of males and females, and how the body develops from conception through puberty and into maturity. Packed with full-color photographs and illustrations, this absorbing book provides students with sufficient background information through references, websites, and a bibliography.

Displacement, Human Rights and Sexual and Reproductive Health Conceptualizing Gender Protection Gaps in Latin America


Free Download Natalia Cintra, "Displacement, Human Rights and Sexual and Reproductive Health: Conceptualizing Gender Protection Gaps in Latin America"
English | ISBN: 1529222796 | 2023 | 214 pages | PDF | 10 MB
Focusing on the flight of women and girls from Venezuela, this book examines the gendered nature of forced displacement and the ways in which the failures of protection regimes to be sensitive to displacement’s gendered character affect women and girls, and their sexual and reproductive health. Highlighting how categorical legal distinctions between ‘refugees’ and ‘migrants’ fail to capture the dynamics of forced migration in Latin America, it investigates how the operation of this categorical divide generates responsibility and protection gaps in relation to female forced migrants which act as determinants of sexual and reproductive health. Drawing on the voices of displaced women, it argues that a robust political ethics of protection of the forcibly displaced must encompass all necessary fleers and be responsive to the gendered character of forced displacement and particularly to effective access to sexual and reproductive health rights.

The Reproductive Body at Work The South African Bioeconomy of Egg Donation


Free Download Verena Namberger, "The Reproductive Body at Work: The South African Bioeconomy of Egg Donation "
English | ISBN: 0367026864 | 2019 | 210 pages | EPUB | 652 KB
The transnational industry surrounding assisted reproductive technology and regenerative medicine is based on the unacknowledged labour of gamete providers, surrogates and research subjects, and benefits from low labour costs in ‘enabling’ sectors such as logistics and transport. This finding calls for a comprehensive analysis of how the contemporary intersection of neoliberal capitalism and the life sciences – in short, the bioeconomy – capitalises on the body and its (re)productive capacities.
