Volume 6: A Cultural History of the Human Body in the Modern Age (1900-21st Century) Edited by Ivan Crozier, University of Edinburgh, and Chiara Beccalossi, University of Queensland. Each volume discusses the same themes in its chapters: 1. Birth and Death 2. Health and Disease 3. Sex & Sexuality 4. Medical Knowledge and Technology 5. Popular Beliefs 6. Beauty and Concepts of the Ideal 7. Marked Bodies I: Gender, Race, Class, Age, Disability and Disease 8. Marked Bodies II: the Bestial, the Divine and the Natural 9. Cultural Representations of the Body 10.

Superbly illustrated, the full six volume set combines to present the most authoritative and comprehensive survey available on the human body through history. About the Author Ivan Crozier is Senior Lecturer in Science Studies at the University of Edinburgh and co-editor of Body Parts: Critical Explorations in Corporeality.
