The First World War mangled faces, blew away limbs, and ruined nerves. Ten million dead, twenty million severe casualties, and eight million people with permanent disabilities - modern war inflicted pain and suffering with unsparing, mechanical efficiency. However, such horror was not the entire story. People also rebuilt their lives, their communities, and their bodies. From the ashes of war rose beauty, eroticism, and the promise of utopia. Ana Carden-Coyne investigates the cultures of resilience and the institutions of reconstruction in Britain, Australia, and the United States. Immersed in efforts to heal the consequences of violence and triumph over adversity, reconstruction inspired politicians, professionals, and individuals to transform themselves and their societies. Bodies were not to remain locked away as tortured memories. Instead, they became the subjects of outspoken debate, the objects of rehabilitation, and commodities of desire in global industries. Governments, physicians, beauty and body therapists, monument designers and visual artists looked to classicism and modernism as the tools for rebuilding civilization and its citizens. What better response to loss of life, limb, and mind than a body reconstructed?

This two volume set has been published to mark 30 years of the history of biomaterials. Volume 1- Implants in Surgery is a re-printing of the first ever textbook on biomaterials published in 1973. Now a collectors item this book comprehensively covers the principles of materials science that controlled the performance of biomaterial in the first generation of implants, the characteristic features of biocompatibility and the design and clinical uses of implants in the 1970's. Volume 2 -- Biomaterials and Tissues Engineering for the 21st Century. This is a critical appraisal of the evolution of biomaterials, medical devices and tissue engineering, an assessment of current technologies and a personal view of future developments. In particular the volume details the changes that have taken place during the 25 years with respect to materials, technology, the deeper understanding of biocompatability and the regulatory, societal, legal and ethical constraints. This volume also looks forward to future generations of medical devices and tissue engineered products on the basis of the clinical opportunities offered and the interaction of materials science and cell and molecular biology.

Women are popularly portrayed in the media and in academic literature as being dissatisfied with their bodies (Garner, 1997). This prompted me to ask, given the dominance of the discourse of the 'problem' body, how 'problematic' is this dissatisfaction in the daily life of the average woman? I conducted life-history interviews with 20 women between the ages of 22 and 59. They revealed three ideal types of women, which I present as three groups. First, the "butterflies" focused their life stories on what they identified as a significant positive change in their overall perception of their bodies. Second, the "yo-yos" focused their narratives on their overall body dissatisfaction. Finally, the "holistics" shared narratives of overall body satisfaction and appreciation. Health, the 'problem' body, and aging were the dominant topics in the narratives of all the women, regardless of age or group. The interviews revealed that while some of the women were critical and dissatisfied with aspects of their bodies, all of the women reported at least minimal body satisfaction. What this means is that while the 'problem' body is real and present in the lives of these women, they are not spending their lives focused on their bodies, and in most cases body concerns take up little of their time.

Alexander the Great led one of the most successful armies in history and conquered nearly the entirety of the known world while wearing armor made of cloth. How is that possible? This title provides the answer. It presents a thorough investigation of the linothorax, linen armor worn by Greeks, Macedonians, and other ancient Mediterranean warriors.

South Korea represents one of the world's most enthusiastic markets for plastic surgery. The growth of this market is particularly fascinating as access to medical care and surgery arose only recently with economic growth since the 1980s. Reconstructing Bodies traces the development of a medical infrastructure in the Republic of Korea (ROK) from 1945 to the present, arguing that the plastic surgery craze and the related development of biotech ambitions is deeply rooted in historical experience. Tracking the ROK's transition and independence from Japan, John P. DiMoia explains how the South Korean government mobilized biomedical resources and technologies to consolidate its desired image of a modern and progressive nation. Offering in-depth accounts of illustrative transformations, DiMoia narrates South Korean biomedical practice, including Seoul National University Hospital's emergence as an international biomedical site, state-directed family planning and anti-parasite campaigns, and the emerging market for aesthetic and plastic surgery, reflecting how South Koreans have appropriated medicine and surgery for themselves as individuals, increasingly prioritizing private forms of health care.

A thorough and original study of the linothorax, the linen armor worn by Alexander the Great. Alexander the Great led one of the most successful armies in history and conquered nearly the entirety of the known world while wearing armor made of cloth. How is that possible? In Reconstructing Ancient Linen Body Armor, Gregory S. Aldrete, Scott Bartell, and Alicia Aldrete provide the answer. An extensive multiyear project in experimental archaeology, this pioneering study presents a thorough investigation of the linothorax, linen armor worn by the Greeks, Macedonians, and other ancient Mediterranean warriors. Because the linothorax was made of cloth, no examples of it have survived. As a result, even though there are dozens of references to the linothorax in ancient literature and nearly a thousand images of it in ancient art, this linen armor remains relatively ignored and misunderstood by scholars. Combining traditional textual and archaeological analysis with hands-on reconstruction and experimentation, the authors unravel the mysteries surrounding the linothorax. They have collected and examined all of the literary, visual, historical, and archaeological evidence for the armor and detail their efforts to replicate the armor using materials and techniques that are as close as possible to those employed in antiquity. By reconstructing actual examples using authentic materials, the authors were able to scientifically assess the true qualities of linen armor for the first time in 1,500 years. The tests reveal that the linothorax provided surprisingly effective protection for ancient warriors, that it had several advantages over bronze armor, and that it even shared qualities with modern-day Kevlar. Previously featured in documentaries on the Discovery Channel and the Canadian History Channel, as well as in U.S. News and World Report, MSNBC Online, and other international venues, this groundbreaking work will be a landmark in the study of ancient warfare.

Bringing together an international range of case studies and interviews with individuals who have had genital re/construction, Body, Migration, Re/constructive Surgeries explores the socio-cultural meanings of clitoral re/construction following female genital cutting (FGC), hymen reconstruction, trans and intersex bodily interventions; and cosmetic surgery. Drawing critical attention to how decisions around such surgeries are affected by social, economic and regulatory contexts that change over time and across spaces, it raises questions such as: How are bodies genderized through surgical interventions? How do such interventions express cultural context? How do women who have experienced female genital cutting respond to opportunities for clitoral reconstruction? How do female-to-male (FtM) trans people decide on how and where to undertake body modifications? What roles do cultural expectations and official regulations play in how people decide to have their bodies modified? Suggesting that conventional gender binaries are no longer adequate to understanding the quest for bodily interventions, this insightful volume seeks to give a greater voice to those engaged in gender body modification. It will appeal to students and postdoctoral researchers interested in fields such as Gender Studies, Social Studies, Sexuality Studies and Cultural Studies.
