FINDING EINSTEIN’S BRAINFrederick E. Lepore“With this original book, [Lepore] gives

Einstein’s brain a second life and offers the

reader a rare opportunity to discover the

distinctive features of a genius’s brain, while

insisting on the explanatory gap that still

exists between brain and mind.”

—Science Magazine

“Finding Einstein’s Brain isn’t just about

neuroanatomy....It also contains wonderful discussions about

relativity, other aspects of physics, and the personalities of the

physicists Einstein hung out with. Lepore’s writing combines

erudition, unexpected asides to the reader and occasional

interjections of humour.”

—Brain Journal

Albert Einstein remains the quintessential icon of modern

genius. Like Newton and many others, his seminal work in

physics includes the General Theory of Relativity, the Absolute

Nature of Light, and perhaps the most famous equation of all

time: E=mc2.

Following his death in 1955, Einstein’s brain was removed and

preserved, but has never been fully or systematically studied.

In fact, the sections are not even all in one place, and some are

mysteriously unaccounted for! In this compelling tale, Frederick

E. Lepore delves into the strange, elusive afterlife of Einstein’s

brain, the controversy surrounding its use, and what its study

represents for brain and/or intelligence studies.

Carefully reacting to the skepticism of 21st century

neuroscience, Lepore more broadly examines the

philosophical, medical, and scientific implications of brain-

examination. Is the brain simply a computer? If so, how close

are we to artificially creating a human brain? Could scientists

create a second Einstein? This “biography of a brain” attempts

to answer these questions, exploring what made Einstein’s

brain anatomy exceptional, and how “found” photographs—

discovered more than a half a century after his death—may

begin to uncover the nature of genius.

some of which deal with classic medical

humanities topics, such as the notions of

health and disease and the theory of the

body. The majority of the book centers

on more contemporary—some would say

postmodern—issues, such as gender and

sexuality, disability, and aging. Recommended.”

—Choice

“This is a landmark volume that sets the standard for any

future collection in medical/health humanities. It is by turns

authoritative, funny, edgy, creative and personal—sometimes

all in one piece.”

—Thomas R. Cole, University of Texas-Houston Medical

School

“It’s about time! The field of medical humanities has been

waiting for a reader, and this one is it. With an excellent array

of essays in appropriate topics by top people in the field,

this book should set the standard for the next ten years. It

will prove fascinating to undergraduates, graduate students

in both the humanities and the health sciences, and to the

general public and particularly those who are or will be

patients—which of course is everyone.”

—Lennard J. Davis, editor of The Disability Studies Reader

“This bold, intelligent, and vitally comprehensive collection

is a truly interdisciplinary achievement and an indispensible

resource.Through twelve judiciously selected thematic

clusters, Rutgers’s Health Humanities Reader consolidates

WEIGHTY PROBLEMS Embodied Inequality at a Children’s Weight Loss CampLaura Backstorm“Weighty Problems is an engaging and

well-written exploration of the ways in which

current cultural framings of childhood obesity

are experienced by children. In focusing on

how children navigate the cultural meanings

of fatness, Backstrom shows that the

internalization of these messages carries over

into adulthood.”

ROMANCING THE SPERMShifting Biopolitics and the Making of Modern Families Diane Tober“An exceptional ethnography of modern

reproduction, Romancing the Sperm centers

lesbian couples and single women as they

engage with sperm donors and banks in a

quest to become pregnant. Tober’s extensive

research spans decades, from the 1990s to

the present, documenting critical shifts over

time in sperm banking institutional and modern

family formation practices. An accessible read, the book makes

a tremendously valuable contribution to feminist writing on

reproductive technologies and politics.”

BLOOD ON THEIR HANDSHow Greedy Companies, Inept Bureaucracy, and Bad Science Killed Thousands of HemophiliacsEric Weinberg, Donna Shaw“An impressively informative, thoughtful

and thought-provoking expose of one of the

American medical system’s most shameful

debacles in living memory, Blood on Their

Hands is a vivid example that through

perseverance and the American justice

systems, the victims of pharmaceutical corporate greed, corrupt

or incompetent politicians, uninformed and negligent physicians

can achieve deserved recompense for themselves and those they

love. Exceptionally well written, organized and presented study...

Blood on Their Hands is an especially recommended addition to

both community and academic library collections”

DIET AND THE DISEASE OF CIVILIZATIONAdrienne Rose Bitar“Diet and the Disease of Civilization is a

timely and beautifully executed piece of work,

providing a distinctly new perspective on the

histories of food, the politics of fitness, and the

development of popular self-help guides.”

Taming Sleep Created our Restless World
