Sexing the Body: Gender Politics and the Construction of Sexuality by: Anne Fausto-Sterling 
Save $5.00 when you spend $25.00 or more on Qualifying Items offered by Amazon.com. Enter code BMLSAVES at checkout. Click to Display Anyone who has been following the new brain science in the popular press--and even those whose casual reading includes journals along the lines of Psychoneuroendocrinology--will be fascinated by the puckish observations of Brown University biologist Anne Fausto-Sterling, whose provocative and erudite essays easily establish the cultural biases underlying current scientific thought on gender. She goes on to critique the science itself, exposing inconsistencies in the literature and weaknesses in the rhetorical and theoretical structures that support new research. "One of the major claims I make in this book," she explains, "is that labeling someone a man or a woman is a social decision. We may use scientific knowledge to help us make the decision, but only our beliefs about gender--not science--can define our sex. Furthermore, our beliefs about gender affect what kinds of knowledge scientists produce about sex in the first place." Whether discussing genital surgery on intersex infants or the amorous lives of lab rats, the author is unfailingly clear and convincing, and manages to impart humor to subjects as seemingly unpromising as neuroanatomy and the structure of proteins. --Regina Marler Sexing the Body: Gender Politics and the Construction of Sexuality

- Eco-responsible manufacturing

The Manduka BlackMatPRO is the top-of-the-line yoga mat on the market today. It is extremely durable, dense, and will last about a century (rough estimate!) before it ever starts to break down. The fact that these mats lasts so incredibly long means that very few of them will see a landfill, making them a true eco yoga mat. Plus, the Manduka BlackMatPRO is made from eco-certified PVC, which means that they are manufactured in a manner which ensures that PVC is not released into the atmosphere (a.k.a. emissions-free manufacturing). The Manduka BlackMatPRO is thick without being "spongy". Its thickness works to cushion your elbows, knees, and spine from the hard floor, while its firmness supports you in balance poses. Its durability is attested to by its weight (a hefty 7 pounds). Due to its weight, the BlackMatPRO is also ideal for home practice on carpet - it will sit solidly in place without bunching or moving around. Available in black. 1/4" x 26" x 71" (2" wider and 3" longer than a standard yoga mat)
