  • Making Sense of Intersex - Changing Ethical Perspectives in Biomedicine - cover

    Making Sense of Intersex -...

    Ellen K. Feder

    A philosopher offers a framework for the treatment of intersex children, and a moral argument for responsibility to them and their families. 
     
    Putting the ethical tools of philosophy to work, Ellen K. Feder seeks to clarify how we should understand “the problem” of intersex. Adults often report that medical interventions they underwent as children to “correct” atypical sex anatomies caused them physical and psychological harm. Proposing a philosophical framework for the treatment of children with intersex conditions—one that acknowledges the intertwined identities of parents, children, and their doctors—Feder presents a persuasive moral argument for collective responsibility to these children and their families. 
     
    “In a voice both urgent and nuanced, Feder squarely faces the complexities that accompany the care of people with atypical sex anatomies in medical science. . . . Rich with cross-discipline potential, Feder’s engaging argument should provide a new approach for doctors and parents caring for children with atypical sex anatomy.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review 
     
    “Feder’s book is a welcome injection of new ideas into feminist scholarship on intersex, post-Consensus Statement era.” —Women’s Review of Books 
     
    “Is a work of philosophy capable of bringing insightful new perspectives or illuminating and forceful arguments to an urgent social matter so as truly to effect a felt change in the lives of people concerned by it? Feder’s book is capable of this effect. As such, it takes the risk of calling forth a new public, or a new readership, and so is a work whose appeal could well be ahead of its time. But its time should be here.” —International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics 
     
    “Making Sense of Intersex significantly enhances our understanding of intersex and the ethical issues involved in medical practice more generally.” —Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal

    From the #1 New York Times bestselling McElroy Brothers, creators of the hit podcasts My Brother, My Brother and Me and The Adventure Zone, comes a helpful and hilarious how-to podcast guide covering everything you need to know to make, produce, edit, and promote a podcast…and get rich* doing it! (*Results not guaranteed.) 
    Justin, Travis, and Griffin McElroy made their names as “advice giving brothers who have no business giving advice” (New York Times) on the hit podcast My Brother, My Brother and Me. But while they may not have the best relationship or workplace advice, they certainly make you laugh, and they do know a thing or two about podcasting.   
    In fact, the McElroy Brothers have spent the last decade making podcasts, including My Brother, My Brother and Me; The Adventure Zone; Sawbones; and more. From their start, independently producing and releasing the early episodes of My Brother, My Brother and Me, to their eleven currently available podcasts, the McElroys have become experts in creating successful podcasts. And now, they want to share what they’ve learned with you. 
    In Everybody Has a Podcast (Except You), the McElroy Brothers will walk you through the process of turning an idea into ear-candy for legions of fans, sharing their expertise on everything from deciding on an effective name (definitely not something like My Brother, My Brother and Me), what type of microphone to use (definitely not one from the video game Rock Band), to making lots and lots of money (spoiler: you probably won’t). 
    A must-listen for anyone interested in podcasting, Everybody Has a Podcast (Except You) shares the keys to success as well as the mistakes to avoid and draws on the vast experiences of three of the funniest and most successful podcasters working today.

    Would you be shocked to find out that the greatest moment of our recent history in space was a disaster that was covered up?  Would you be shocked to find out that the greatest hero since Christopher Columbus, a cosmonaut named Yuri Gagarin, turns out to be a lie and that he was not the first man in space, contrary to what the millions of history books claim?  Would you be shocked to find out that Yuri Gagarin could not handle his life of a lie, and spiraled down into a horrible state of alcoholism, depression, and mood swings, and was ultimately murdered by the KGB?   The Oscar-nominated actor, Elliott Gould, narrates this true story of recent developments and brand-new declassified evidence, now clearly showing that there’s much, much more than meets the public eye about the secret life, and purported death, of Yuri Gagarin…Also included in this audiobook are uncut and unfiltered interviews by Sergei Khrushchev (the son of the former head of the old Soviet Union Nikita Khrushchev), along with interviews of a Soviet historian, as well as a former CIA analyst.
