In addition, all chapters have been comprehensively revised to take account of developments from within this fastΓÇôpaced field, in the intervening years between publications. References and figures have also been updated throughout. This highlyΓÇôregarded and awardΓÇôwinning textbook (Winner of the 2010 Prose Award for Archaeology and Anthropology) retains the character and features of the previous edition. Its coverage remains broad, including discussion of: biomedical technologies in practice; anthropologies of medicine; biology and human experiments; infertility and assisted reproduction; genomics, epigenomics, and uncertain futures; and molecularizing racial difference, ensuring it remains the essential text for students of anthropology, medical anthropology as well as public and global health.
