I apologize that this post is not really a review of Dr. Offit's Book (I don't know how your Monday has been going but mine has included a boy with a bad cold who had to stay home resulting in immediate rearrangement of my schedule of classes etc., and my needing to meet the deadline for an important document). Much of the exchange here at the Science Blogs Book Club has been about science, vaccines, and the media's role in keeping public discussions of autism overly focused on vaccines. Dr. Offit also devotes a chapter of Autism's False Prophets: Bad Science, Risky Medicine, and the Search for a Cure to legal matters, and specifically to "science in court" (the title of the Book's 8th chapter). Just today I was glad to have his Book for background about the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Compensation Act (VICP). Another Book, Do Vaccines Cause That?!: A Guide for Evaluating Vaccine Safety Concerns , by Martin G. Myers, M.D., and Diego Pineda has also been of use to me (as a non-scientist) writing about a ruling by the Georgia Supreme Court that allows a family to proceed with a civil lawsuit against vaccine maker American Home Products; more details here . And come to think of it, here is a reason why I think antivaccinationists really need to read Dr. Offit's new Book. Autism's False Prophets has a proverbial wealth of information about vaccines and their history and the whole vaccine-autism issue. Antivaccinationists should ...

Author: JewcyTodd Posted to Jewcy: October 03, 2008 2:12 pm ===== Size Matters: by Dr. Harry Fisch and Kara Baskin In the week Kara Baskin has guest blogged on Jewcy, she has divulged some enticing information about sex and sexuality that could take even some men by surprise. She kicked off with an introduction to the Book, gave us the real scoop on fertility, got down and dirty about male hygiene, let us in on some unpublished material, and left us a parting gift. Want more? Buy the Book and find out why size matters. A man’s anatomy is a lot easier to understand than his mind, and knowing what’s going on down there is just as important to a happy relationship as figuring out the deeper meaning of his every word. You can analyze your relationship with your girlfriends, but who can you turn to with the more . . . sensitive questions? In Size Matters, Dr. Harry Fisch, an expert on the male reproductive system, and writer Kara Baskin team up to introduce you, metaphorically speaking, to the penis. Clearing up mysteries about male anatomy, orgasm, masturbation, STDs, testosterone, impotence, sexual response, and much more, Size Matters is the first...

Welcome back, members of the PopUK Book Club . On Monday we finished discussing our first title, Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited , and now it's time to announce our second title. I've chosen Choke by Chuck Palahniuk for October's Book Club. It's a timely decision, as the film version (starring Sam Rockwell and Anjelica Huston) will receive its UK premiere tonight at the Raindance Film Festival, before it hits UK cinemas nationwide in November. Here's a reminder of how the PopUK Book Club works: each week I'll suggest chapters to complete by the next post (each Monday). In these weekly posts, I'll suggest a few discussion-provoking questions for us all to think over and respond to in the comments section. By the end of the month we will have completed this hilarious novel from the author of Fight Club together, and we'll be equipped to watch the film to see how it compares. To see what Choke is all about, and to get your first assignment, read more ...
David Dubal will interview Rob Riemen on his much acclaimed Book "Nobility of the Spirit: A Forgotten Ideal," and live music performances will be given by pianists from the Juilliard School.

It is a gnuinely reposible contemporary wisdom tract in which both moral relativism and moral absolutism are transcended in a profound understanding of and a clarion call for humna responsibility .

Deconstructing David Kirby . This is the title of one of two follow-up posts that Dr. Rahul Parikh wrote after reviewing Dr. Paul Offit's Autism's False Prophets: Bad Science, Risky Medicine, and the Search for a Cure and getting the usual treatment by the usual "anti-vaccine/pro-vaccine-safety/mercury militia" suspects: A smackdown by the likes of David Kirby himself, Kirby being the author of the Book Evidence of Harm , whose very subtitle proclaims that mercury in vaccines has something to do with a supposed "autism epidemic," and that this is a "medical controversy." Since its publication in 2005, Kirby has become a frequent spokesperson, in the blogosphere, on Capitol Hill, and many other places, for the claim that vaccines or something in vaccines can be linked to autism. I'm the mother of an autistic son, 11-year-old Charlie and while Kirby's adherence to the issue of vaccines, mercury, and other possible "environmental causes" of autism is notable, I very much believe that the continued attention devoted to this issue in the mass media is to the detriment of truly helping autistic individuals. Not only does the vaccine-autism theory suggest that autistic children are somehow "damaged" and "injured" and full of toxic substances---mercury, various "heavy metals"---but all the writing and rhetoric about vaccines and autism takes energy and attention away from what is our first task in helping autistic individuals, providing ...
The other day I was having a beer with a few guys--one of whom didn't know the other two very well--and they started talking about the Mets. Their newness seemed to fade away in a flurry of familiarity built around sports. And it got me thinking...almost every guy I know--whether they're hip hop heads, indy hipsters, computer science geeks, city kids, farm boys--seems at least mildly interested in sports. I brought this up, and the three of us tried to come up with a female parallel, but quickly realized that there wasn't one. There are certainly interests that a lot of women share, but there's nothing as generalizable as sports. (Then we proceeded to have a feminist vs. sports trivia competition. Let's just say that I knew that the tie goes to the runner and they had no idea what intersectional feminism was). While reading Michael Kimmel's new Book, Guyland , I couldn't stop thinking about this moment, and so many others that I've shared over the years with my various, amazing, if not sometimes lost guy friends. It's a Book that delves deep into the world of boys becoming men (for his purposes, ages 16 to 26, and predominantly white) in an attempt to describe just how limiting and inauthentic it can be. An important note: Kimmel is not talking about all guys. The majority of the dudes he's writing about are the ones that you probably steer clear of whenever possible--the jerky hockey player who posts up in your high school hallw ...
