Excerpt from The Miami Aquarium and Biological Laboratory, Miami, Florida The laboratories will be open through out the year, and while at present there are tables for but eighteen workers at a time, the institution has planned to ex pand its facilities as the demand for them grows, by the building of a second wing for increased laboratory space, which likewise will be made available to investi gators, believing that there is no way in which mankind can be better served than by the extension of scientific investiga tion into the wonderful resources of the warm seas.

Excerpt from Biological Bulletin of the Marine Biological Laboratory, Vol. 44: January to June 1923 Of maximum fertilization capacity be inseminated in coelomic fluid, the per cent. Of cleavage is decreased. Thus equal parts Of coelomic fluid and sea-water may cut down the per cent. Of cleavage to zero; higher proportions Of coelomic fluid, 75 to 100 per cent.; invariably permit no fertilization. In practice it was found extremely difficult to use large quanti ties of blood owing to its scarcity. Since, however, eggs from one female only were used in any given experiment, this was found no great difficulty, since the number Oi eggs used was very small in each case.

More than eighty designs--iconic, archaic, quotidian, and taboo--that have defined the arc of human reproduction. While birth often brings great joy, making babies is a knotty enterprise. The designed objects that surround us when it comes to menstruation, birth control, conception, pregnancy, childbirth, and early motherhood vary as oddly, messily, and dramatically as the stereotypes suggest. This smart, image-rich, fashion-forward, and design-driven book explores more than eighty designs--iconic, conceptual, archaic, titillating, emotionally charged, or just plain strange--that have defined the relationships between people and babies during the past century. Each object tells a story. In striking images and engaging text, Designing Motherhood unfolds the compelling design histories and real-world uses of the objects that shape our reproductive experiences. The authors investigate the baby carrier, from the Snugli to BabyBjörn, and the (re)discovery of the varied traditions of baby wearing; the tie-waist skirt, famously worn by a pregnant Lucille Ball on I Love Lucy, and essential for camouflaging and slowly normalizing a public pregnancy; the home pregnancy kit, and its threat to the authority of male gynecologists; and more. Memorable images--including historical ads, found photos, and drawings--illustrate the crucial role design and material culture plays throughout the arc of human reproduction. The book features a prologue by Erica Chidi and a foreword by Alexandra Lange.
