- The cancer journals / by Lorde, Audre,author.(CARDINAL)130694; Smith, Tracy K.,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)353621;
Includes bibliographical references.Introduction -- I. The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action -- II. Breast Cancer: A Black Lesbian Feminist Experience -- III. Breast Cancer: Power vs. Prosthesis."First published over forty years ago, The Cancer Journals is a startling, powerful account of Audre Lorde's experience with breast cancer and mastectomy. Long before narratives explored the silences around illness and women's pain, Lorde questioned the rules of conformity for women's body images and supported the need to confront physical loss not hidden by prosthesis. Living as a "black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet," Lorde heals and re-envisions herself on her own terms and offers her voice, grief, resistance, and courage to those dealing with their own diagnosis. Poetic and profoundly feminist, Lorde's testament gives visibility and strength to women with cancer to define themselves, and to transform their silence into language and action."--- Subjects: Diaries.; Autobiographies.; Lorde, Audre; Breast; Poets, American; Breast.;

- Replaceable you : adventures in human anatomy / by Roach, Mary,author.(CARDINAL)342147;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 264-276).First thoughts -- To build a nose -- Gimme some skin -- Mixed meats -- Heart in a box -- The vagina dialogue -- Giving the finger -- The cut-off point -- Joint ventures -- Intubation for dummies -- Heavy breathing -- The Mongolian eyeball -- The last six inches -- Out of ink -- Shaft -- Splitting hairs -- The ass men -- Some of the parts -- Last thoughts -- Epilogue."The body is the most complex machine in the world, and the only one for which you cannot get a replacement part from the manufacturer. For centuries, medicine has reached for what's available--sculpting noses from brass, borrowing skin from frogs and hearts from pigs, crafting eye parts from jet canopies and breasts from petroleum by-products. Today we're attempting to grow body parts from scratch using stem cells and 3D printers. How are we doing? Are we there yet? In Replaceable You, Mary Roach explores the remarkable advances and difficult questions prompted by the human body's failings. When and how does a person decide they'd be better off with a prosthetic than their existing limb? Can a donated heart be made to beat forever? Can an intestine provide a workable substitute for a vagina? Roach dives in with her characteristic verve and infectious wit. Her travels take her to the OR at a legendary burn unit in Boston, a "superclean" xeno-pigsty in China, and a stem cell "hair nursery" in the San Diego tech hub. She talks with researchers and surgeons, amputees and ostomates, printers of kidneys and designers of wearable organs. She spends time in a working iron lung from the 1950s, stays up all night with recovery techs as they disassemble and reassemble a tissue donor, and travels across Mongolia with the cataract surgeons of Orbis International. Irrepressible and accessible, Replaceable You immerses readers in the wondrous, improbable, and surreal quest to build a new you"--- Subjects: Informational works.; Transplantation of organs, tissues, etc.; Human anatomy.; Prosthesis.; Organs (Anatomy); Artificial organs.; Regeneration (Biology); Biomedical engineering.;
