Belén Fernández's THE DARIÉN GAP in the latest @shelf-awareness.com: “Fernández's gonzo journalism is fearless. . . . A revelatory, yet heated, examination of the human costs of seeking asylum and a better life in America that skewers the notion of national borders. . . . [A] chilling exposé.”

Cover of the Nursing Clio Reader: Histories of Sex, Reproduction and Justice edited by the Nursing Clio Collective

Front page of essay: Theresa Ventura, The Magic Liquid that Guarantees the Life of the Infant: Breast Milk as Superfood

By far the coolest volume I’ve ever been in. The essays meet the current assault on public health and expertise. Each imagines ways of honouring bodily autonomy without sacrificing our collective well being. @nursingclio.bsky.social @rutgersupress.bsky.social
