Download or read book Morbid Cravings written by Gladys Furphy and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-11 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hilda Brooks is literally fading away from her anorexia/bulimia disorder-and losing whatever self-esteem she had. An attack by a werewolf in New York City not only changes Hilda into a fierce animal during nocturnal rampages, but impacts her "normal" life as well. Suddenly Hilda's eating disorder becomes a thing of the past. She evolves socially, no longer avoids people-rather she pursues them! Never again the "doormat", Hilda changes into a viable, assertive, twenty-first century woman. She is now a "Wolfbitch," empowered and emboldened. Hilda no longer fears food, she worships it-in the human form. Morbid Cravings is but one woman's journey into the often-troubled world of human relationships. It offers a pleasurable and frightening read, reaching beneath the surface of illusions to the tortured wellspring of prevalent and visible illnesses in today's world-illnesses suffered by so many women of all ages in all walks of life. This novel fosters a refreshingly new feminist outlook to the arena of werewolves and horror alike.

Download or read book Addiction and British Visual Culture 1751 919 written by Julia Skelly and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highly innovative and long overdue, this study analyzes the visual culture of addiction produced in Britain during the long nineteenth century. The book examines well-known images such as William Hogarth's Gin Lane (1751), as well as lesser-known artworks including Alfred Priest's painting Cocaine (1919), in order to demonstrate how visual culture was both informed by, and contributed to, discourses of addiction in the period between 1751 and 1919. Through her analysis of more than 30 images, Julia Skelly deconstructs beliefs and stereotypes related to addicted individuals that remain entrenched in the popular imagination today. Drawing upon both feminist and queer methodologies, as well as upon extensive archival research, Addiction and British Visual Culture, 1751-1919 investigates and problematizes the long-held belief that addiction is legible from the body, thus positioning visual images as unreliable sources in attempts to identify alcoholics and drug addicts. Examining paintings, graphic satire, photographs, advertisements and architectural sites, Skelly explores such issues as ongoing anxieties about maternal drinking; the punishment and confinement of addicted individuals; the mobility of female alcoholics through the streets and spaces of nineteenth-century London; and soldiers' use of addictive substances such as cocaine and tobacco to cope with traumatic memories following the First World War.

Download or read book Drugs Alcohol and Addiction in the Long Nineteenth Century written by Daniel Malleck and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-01-24 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection captures key themes and issues in the broad history of addiction and vice in the Anglo-American world. Focusing on the long nineteenth-century, the volumes consider how scientific, social, and cultural experiences with drugs, alcohol, addiction, gambling, and prostitution varied around the world. What might be considered vice, or addiction could be interpreted in various ways, through various lenses, and such activities were interpreted differently depending upon the observer: the medical practitioner; the evangelical missionary; the thrill seeking bon-vivant, and the concerned government commissioner, to name but a few. For example, opium addiction in middle class households resulting from medical treatment was judged much differently than Chinese opium smoking by those in poverty or poor living conditions in North American work camps on the west coast, or on the streets of Soho. This collection will assemble key documents representing both the official and general view of these various activities, providing readers with a cross section of interpretations and a solid grounding in the material that shaped policy change, cultural interpretation, and social action.

Download or read book Discovering Addiction written by Nancy D. Campbell and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discovering Addiction brings the history of human and animal experimentation in addiction science into the present with a wealth of archival research and dozens of oral-history interviews with addiction researchers. Professor Campbell examines the birth of addiction science---the National Academy of Sciences's project to find a pharmacological fix for narcotics addiction in the late 1930s---and then explores the human and primate experimentation involved in the succeeding studies of the "opium problem," revealing how addiction science became "brain science" by the 1990s. Psychoactive drugs have always had multiple personalities---some cause social problems; others solve them---and the study of these drugs involves similar contradictions. Discovering Addiction enriches discussions of bioethics by exploring controversial topics, including the federal prison research that took place in the 1970s---a still unresolved debate that continues to divide the research community---and the effect of new rules regarding informed consent and the calculus of risk and benefit. This fascinating volume is both an informative history and a thought-provoking guide that asks whether it is possible to differentiate between ethical and unethical research by looking closely at how science is made. Nancy D. Campbell is Associate Professor of Science and Technology Studies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the author of Using Women: Gender, Drug Policy, and Social Justice. "Compelling and original, lively and engaging---Discovering Addiction opens up new ways of thinking about drug policy as well as the historical discourses of addiction." ---Carol Stabile, University of Wisconsin--Milwaukee Also available: Student Bodies: The Influence of Student Health Services in American Society and Medicine, by Heather Munro Prescott Illness and the Limits of Expression, by Kathlyn Conway White Coat, Clenched Fist: The Political Education of an American Physician, by Fitzhugh Mullan
