New instance, new intro! I'm a historian of science, speaker, and a monster consultant. My latest book is HUMANS: A MONSTROUS HISTORY, just out from the University of California Press as a general audience title.
I also wrote the award-winning RENAISSANCE ETHNOGRAPHY AND THE INVENTION OF THE HUMAN: New Worlds, Maps and Monsters (Cambridge UP).
Happy Halloween! A thread of my essays follows....
