It's Your Body
Detailed information on birth control, STIs, emergency contraception, and more: a guide to what today’s young women need to know about their bodies, from a compassionate, experienced practitioner.

In It’s Your Body, Dena Moes provides a compassionate and informative roadmap to the complex landscape of reproductive health. She explores topics ranging from birth control methods, emergency contraception, and STIs to consent and safe abortion access. Helpful graphs and diagrams make information easy to digest, while thoughtful journal prompts encourage readers to reflect on newfound knowledge, feelings about a changing body, and self-care. Combining medical information with a focus on empowerment and autonomy, this guide is a trusted companion, supporting young women in taking control of their sexual health and advocating for the care and respect they deserve.
Ars Electronica 2023 Festival for Art, Technology, and Society
Towards a New Social Contract Ars Electronica 2023 is dedicated to the complex questions of truth and the concept of ownership in this digital age. In doing so, the festival navigates the central questions of our time. The focus is on how our perception of "authentic" and "original" is being transformed and whether truth can be owned, and how this relates to digitalization and the rapidly developing performance of artificial intelligence. How can the achievements of a tool that is so much based on the globally collective "raw material" of knowledge and creativity be made accessible to everyone and be harnessed to the benefit of all? This comprehensive volume brings together the works of artists, scientists, developers, designers, entrepreneurs and activists from around the world and delves deep into the themes of the festival, offering insights, perspectives, and thought-provoking content that reflect on the intersection of art, technology, and society.
The Suitcase
USSR, 1942... Trains, an endless stream of injured soldiers speed into the rear, tireless doctors operate non-stop, and still, so many fighters do not survive. But one day, a strange woman appears on a military sanitary train going to Kirov. She keeps her past a secret, but her medical skills blow the minds of the experienced surgeons. Who is this fragile woman? Where is she going, and where did she come from? And what is she carrying in her large suitcase?

Shattered Liberation
Shattered Liberation: Sexualized Violence Against Holocaust Survivors, 1943–1946 challenges the notion of joyous liberation of Holocaust survivors by the Red Army, which is often embedded in popular imagination and collective memory.

Letters from Vladivostock, 1894-1930
In 1894, Eleanor L. Pray left her New England home to move with her merchant husband to Vladivostok in the Russian Far East. Over the next thirty-six years — from the time of Tsar Alexander III to the early years of Stalin’s rule — she wrote more than 2,000 letters chronicling her family life and the tumultuous social and political events she witnessed. Vladivostok, 5,600 miles east of Moscow, was shaped by a rich intersection of Asian cultures, and Pray’s witty and observant writing paints a vivid picture of the city and its denizens during a period of momentous social change. The book offers highlights from Pray’s letters along with illuminating historical and biographical information.
Ideology and Meaning-Making under the Putin Regime
Much has been written to try to understand the ideological characteristics of the current Russian government, as well as what is happening inside the mind of Vladimir Putin. Refusing pundits' clichés that depict the Russian regime as either a cynical kleptocracy or the product of Putin's grand Machiavellian designs, Ideology and Meaning-Making under the Putin Regime offers a critical genealogy of ideology in Russia today. Marlene Laruelle provides an innovative, multi-method analysis of the Russian regime's ideological production process and the ways it is operationalized in both domestic and foreign policies. Ideology and Meaning-Making under the Putin Regime reclaims the study of ideology as an unavoidable component of the tools we use to render the world intelligible and represents a significant contribution to the scholarly debate on the interaction between ideas and policy decisions. By placing the current Russian regime into a broader context of different strains of strategic culture, ideological interest groups, and intellectual history, this book gives readers key insights into how the Russo-Ukrainian War became possible and the role ideology played in enabling it.
