Flexible Bodies by Emily Martin

Emily Martin traces Americans' changing ideas about health and immunity since the 1940s. She explores the implications of our emphasis on 'flexibility' in contexts from medicine to the corporate world, warning that we may be approaching a new form of social Darwinism.

Emily Martin was born and raised in a Detroit suburb. She went to graduate school in North Carolina, where she met the boy who would later become her husband and fell in love with sweet potato pancakes, deep fried pickles, and deep fried pickles. Emily is presently based in Boston, Massachusetts, where she writes. Her debut novel is The Year We Fell Apart. Emily can be found online at EmilyMartinWrites.com or on Twitter as @ThatEmilyMartin.

Sarah Dennis is a full-time illustrator and artist. She earned an illustration degree from the University of the West of England. Her art blends collage and traditional scherenschnitte (paper cutting). Judith Hannam has been in the publishing industry for almost two decades.
