But according to Ben Saunders, the appeal of the superhero is fundamentally metaphysical - even spiritual - in nature. In chapter-length analyses of the early comic book adventures of Superman, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, and Iron-Man, Saunders explores a number of complex philosophical and theological issues, including: the problem of evil; the will-to-power; the tension between intimacy and vulnerability; and the challenge of love, in the face of mortality.

What does it mean to personalise cancer medicine? Drawing on an ethnographic study with cancer patients, carers and practitioners in the UK, this book traces their efforts to access and interpret novel genomic tests, information and treatments as they craft personal and collective futures. Exploring multiple experiences of new diagnostic tests, research programmes and trials, advocacy and experimental therapies, the authors chart the different kinds of care and work involved in efforts to personalise cancer medicine, as well as the ways in which benefits and opportunities are unevenly realised and distributed.Comparing these experiences with policy and professional accounts of the 'big' future of personalised healthcare, the authors show how hope and care are multi-faceted, contingent and, at times, frustrated in the everyday complexities of living and working with cancer.This book is available as an open access ebook under a CC-BY-NC-ND licence. 410 0$aInscriptions (Manchester University Press) 606 $aCancer$xTreatment 606 $aPrecision medicine 610 $acancer. 610 $acare. 610 $afutures. 610 $agenomics. 610 $aoncology. 610 $aparticipation. 610 $apatients. 610 $apersonalised medicine. 610 $aprecision medicine. 610 $atechnoscience. 615 0$aCancer$xTreatment. 615 0$aPrecision medicine. 676 $a616.99406 700 $aKerr$b Anne$f1969-$01280006 712 02$aWellcome Trust$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996552346203316 996 $aPersonalised cancer medicine future crafting in the genomic era$93570798 997 $aUNISA LEADER 03220nam 2200313zu 450 001 9910842077903321 005 20240906103027.0 010 $a1-80008-617-2 035 $a(CKB)30676723100041 035 $a(VLeBooks)9781800086173 035 $a(EXLCZ)9930676723100041 100 $a20240305|2024uuuu || | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 200 $aThe Global Encyclopaedia of Informality. Volume 3 A Hitchhiker's Guide to Informal Problem-Solving in Human Life 210 $cUCL Press$d2024 215 $a1 online resource (1 p.) 225 1 $aFRINGE 311 $a1-80008-616-4 330 $aFor a post-human hitchhiker, human life - with its anxiety, ageing, illness and constant need for problem-solving - may look unviable. Yet, for humans, the life struggle is softened by human touch, human emotion and human cooperation. The Global Encyclopaedia of Informality, Volume 3 continues the journey of the two previous volumes into the world's open secrets, unwritten rules and hidden practices. It focuses on issues of emotional ambivalence and pressures of the digital age. The informal practices presented in this volume demonstrate the urgency of alleviating tensions between continuity and all-too-rapid change and the need to tackle the central problem of modern societies - uncertainty. The volume takes a reader on a 'biographical' journey through elusive, taken-for-granted or banal ways of getting things done from over 70 countries and world regions. It offers innovative understanding of the significance of fringes, and challenges the assumption that informality is associated exclusively with poverty, underdevelopment, the Global South, oppressive regimes or the former socialist countries of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. It also maps the patterns of informality around the globe; identifies specific informal practices in a context-sensitive way; and documents their ambivalent impact on people engaged in problem-solving, on societies in which these problems arise, and on humanity overall. Praise for The Global Encyclopaedia of Informality, Volume 3 'This book tells a story of human cooperation. It is not the narrative you'll find in books teaching you how to solve problems. It is an assemblage of something much more endemic, fundamentally human, and much more pervasive than we tend to think of informality. It involves money and power, but also the alternative currencies of gaining advantage or gaming the system.' Bruce Schneier, author of A Hacker's Mind 'Alena Ledeneva's latest database of rule bending is a goldmine for documentary makers and storytellers. Entries from 70 countries, covering a human lifespan from Chinese "anchor babies" to funeral feasts in Azerbaijan, offer remarkable insights into the way the world really works.'
