Glenn's Urologic Surgery is a comprehensive but concise textbook focused on surgical procedures. After more than 30 years it is still required reading for most urology residents and is consulted by practicing physicians while planning surgeries. Chapters are heavily illustrated and progress from diagnosis to indications for surgery, to brief sections on alternative therapies, and then to detailed sections on surgical technique before closing with a discussion of outcomes as found in the literature. The Seventh Edition continues to emphasize laparoscopic procedures. Each section opens with a thoroughly illustrated description of relevant anatomy.

Intersex and/as/is/with disability. The connections between intersex and disability deserve nuanced attention if we are to strengthen intersex human rights claims and understand the experiences of intersex people living with the disabling consequences of medical intervention. Cripping Intersex explores three key themes: the medical management of people with intersex characteristics; the mainstream fascination with sport sex-testing policies; and the eugenic implications of preimplantation genetic diagnosis. This necessary work offers radical new understandings of intersex-with-disability by investigating how intersex and interphobia intersect with disability and ableism, and pushes analyses of intersex experience further than feminist or queer theory can do alone.
