Abstract:
Embodiment illustrates how we are now in an age of ''body plasticity''; our body boundaries are increasingly ambiguous, allowing more ''degrees of freedom'' and offering more opportunities than ever before to overcome physical limitations. The book draws on research from diverse areas including health and clinical psychology, neuroscience, medicine, anthropology, and sociology.
