Transhumanism is often understood by scientific and technological enthusiasts as an expression of the innate human desire to excel, to develop one's faculties and abilities to become better adapted to face adversities of the outside environment. On the other hand, it may also be perceived as a potentially proud attempt on the side of fragile humans to become more independent, invulnerable, and even immortal. Our book discusses both the unique opportunities as well as unprecedented challenges of transhumanism, using the expertise of international scholars from diverse cultural and academic backgrounds.

An inlaid wooden chest the size of a shoe box holds Lynn Knight's button collection. A collection that has been passed down through three generations of women: a chunky sixties-era toggle from a favourite coat, three tiny pearl buttons from her mother's first dress after she was adopted as a baby, a jet button from a time of Victorian mourning. Each button tells a story. 'The Button Box' traces the story of women at home and in work from pre-First World War domesticity, through the first clerical girls in silk blouses, to the delights of beading and glamour in the thirties to short skirts and sexual liberation in the sixties.
