Do Less Harm - - Bog - Johns Hopkins University Press - Plusbog.dk

Offers reflections, provocative questions, and practical strategies for ethical, responsible approaches to health history. In Do Less Harm, editors Courtney E. Thompson and Kylie M. Smith bring together a group of leading historians and scholars to confront one of the most pressing questions in health history: How can we ethically approach stories of medicine and health without perpetuating harm? This thought-provoking collection invites readers into a crucial conversation about the responsibilities of historians when documenting the past. Through carefully curated essays, the contributors explore the ethical dilemmas that arise in researching, teaching, and writing about the history of health care. From patient privacy to the politics of archives, the essays cover how health histories have often overlooked, misunderstood, or misrepresented the people and communities most affected by medical practices. The contributors challenge the assumptions of the field, offering a more thoughtful approach to historical research—one that emphasizes empathy, accountability, and inclusivity. The book raises provocative questions and proposes practical strategies for historians and scholars to do less harm in their work and is organized around key themes such as research, teaching, writing, and public engagement, making it an indispensable resource for anyone working in the history of health care, ethics, or the health humanities. With its engaging style and accessible insights, Do Less Harm offers a fresh and timely perspective for academics, students, and readers interested in the ethical challenges of representing the past.

Do I Know You? - Sharrona Pearl - Bog - Johns Hopkins University Press - Plusbog.dk

Do I Know You? - Sharrona Pearl - Bog - Johns Hopkins University Press - Plusbog.dk

A fascinating history of how we recognize faces—or fail to recognize them. In Do I Know You? Sharrona Pearl explores the fascinating category of face recognition and the "the face recognition spectrum," which ranges from face blindness at one end to super recognition at the other. Super recognizers can recall faces from only the briefest exposure, while face blind people lack the capacity to recognize faces at all, including those of their closest loved ones. Informed by archival research, the latest neurological studies, and testimonials from people at both ends of the spectrum, Pearl tells a nuanced story of how we relate to each other through our faces. The category of face recognition is relatively new despite the importance of faces in how we build relationships and understand our own humanity. Pearl shows how this most tacit of knowledge came to enter the scientific and diagnostic field despite difficulties with identifying it. She offers a grounded framework for how we evaluate others and draw conclusions about them, with significant implications for race, gender, class, and disability. Pearl explores the shifting ideas around the face-recognition spectrum, explaining the effects of these diagnoses on real people alongside implications for how facial recognition is studied and understood. Face blindness is framed as a disability, while super recognition is framed as a superpower with no meaningful disadvantages. This superhero rhetoric is tied to the use of super recognizers in criminal detection, prosecution, and other forms of state surveillance. Do I Know You? demonstrates a humanistic approach to the study of the brain, one that offers an entirely new method for examining this fundamental aspect of human interaction. The combination of personal narratives, scientific and medical research, and high-profile advocates like Oliver Sacks helped to establish face recognition as a category and a spectrum in both diagnostic and experiential realms. Building on an interdisciplinary foundation that includes the history of medicine, science, and technology, disability studies, media and communication, artificial intelligence ethics, and the health humanities, Pearl challenges the binary nature of spectrum thinking in general and provides a fascinating case study in the treatment of this new scientific category.

What Do Bees Think About? - Mathieu Lihoreau - Bog - Johns Hopkins University Press - Plusbog.dk

What Do Bees Think About? - Mathieu Lihoreau - Bog - Johns Hopkins University Press - Plusbog.dk

Explore the mind of a bee and learn what drives its behavior. Have you ever observed a bee up close and wondered what was going on inside its head? Like ours, insects'' brains take up most of the space in their heads, but their brains are smaller than a grain of rice, only 0.0002% as large as ours. But what purpose does the insect brain serve, and how does that drive their creativity, morality, and emotions? Bees in particular exhibit unexpected and fascinating cognitive skills. In What Do Bees Think About? animal cognition researcher Mathieu Lihoreau examines a century of research into insect evolution and behavior. He explains recent scientific discoveries, recounts researchers'' anecdotes, and reflects on the cognition of these fascinating creatures. Lihoreau''s and others scientist''s research on insects reinforces the importance of protecting and preserving insects such as bees: after all, our survival on the planet is deeply dependent on theirs. This book provides an eye-opening window into the world of insect cognition and echoes an important ecological message about bees—they are intelligent creatures sharing the same fragile ecosystem as us.

The Novel and the Blank - Matthew P. Brown - Bog - Johns Hopkins University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Novel and the Blank - Matthew P. Brown - Bog - Johns Hopkins University Press - Plusbog.dk

Explores American colonial print culture's diverse output and how these texts shaped public life and modernity. In The Novel and the Blank, Matthew P. Brown uncovers the vibrant, overlooked world of the eighteenth-century British American print shop. Printing more than just novels and pamphlets, these workshops produced a kaleidoscope of printed materials—from legal blanks and almanacs to runaway slave ads and chapbooks—that reflected the complexities of colonial life. Brown paints a rich cultural history of the time, identifying and describing the steady sellers that stabilized the trade and the print surges ignited by religious revivals of the 1730s-1740s and political upheavals of the revolutionary era. He explores the connections among commercial caution, literary expression, and oppressive structures like the slave trade. The book advances our knowledge of early modern culture in several ways: by providing a rounded portrait of colonial and early national literary culture; by examining a steadily popular canon rarely read by modern scholars; and by depicting the lived religion of readers, writers, and printers who participated in this literary culture. With a sharp focus on everyday texts and readers—rather than on the canon of works constructed by modern scholars—Brown reimagines the public sphere of the eighteenth century as a vivifying experience. Through an innovative blend of historical rigor and cultural insight, The Novel and the Blank reveals how ordinary print shaped extraordinary shifts in religion, secularism, and the ways we understand modernity itself.
