“She was born a thing”: Disability, the Cyborg and the Posthuman in Anne McCaffrey'sThe Ship Who Sang
This essay demonstrates the transformative effect of adding disability studies to the array of critical lenses that have been focused on Anne McCaffrey's “The Ship Who Sang” (1961, 1969 as novel). A touchstone in theoretical work on cyborgs and the posthuman, as well as a key text for science fiction scholars, McCaffrey's story has generally been viewed as a vision of cyborg possibility. In contrast, I demonstrate the ways in which the narrative relies upon and reinforces a range of ableist ideologies. I highlight a series of previously unexplored tensions within the narrative, arguing that McCaffrey's bold attempt to depict a race of disabled superbeings is undermined by the strategies of containment she adopts.

Food and Travel: Twin Readers' Advisory Pleasures
The sweet taste of new potatoes, the color pattern of a salad composed of fresh-cut lettuce sprinkled with blue cheese and topped with sliced strawberries, and the nose-tingle of brewing coffee or a curried lamb stew cooking: we react to food with all the salivary anticipation of the rest of our mammalian brethren. Here is another quote suggesting the close affinity between place and food (as well as exemplifying what I believe is the inherent stylishness of food and travel literature), this one by the great British novelist and travel writer Lawrence Durrell, on this occasion writing about the Rhone River region in France: All roads lead to Lyons, and no wise traveler will complain for this great city is also the axis of good eating - the very midriff of haute cuisine, as it were.

The hunt for the curious cheese
\"A curious case for Geronimo! Rancid ricotta! Something strange was happening in New Mouse City. Rodents were suddenly getting sick with stomachaches, hiccups and weird green warts and it seemed to be related to cheese! We mice eat a lot of cheese, so this was serious. My detective friend Hercule Poirat asked me to help him investigate. Could we solve this mystery and save our city?\"--Inside front flap.
Stalking the Wild Appeal Factor: Readers' Advisory and Social Networking Sites
[...] Melville Dewey gave library staff a system that separated all the reading material by subject area. Ike Pulver, of Shaker Heights (Ohio) Public Library, notes how wonderful it would be if we \"could classify books - fiction, especially - by 'feeling' rather than by subject, or adjectivally (big, fast, exciting, intricate, thought-provoking) instead of nominally (horse, houses, shops, satellites, cheese).\" Library staff are equipped with easy-to-use tools that help them organize their own reading and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses in reading areas.\\n Michael Stephens warns the world about \"technolust,\" that \"irrational love for new technology combined with unrealistic expectations for the solutions it brings,\" which will only lead to technostress over the amount and speed of the new tools on the Internet librarians feel they need to keep up with.18 GoodReads, LibraryThing, and Sh el fari aren't the only places readers are exploring for their next book.
