Produktbeschreibung

Blood is an indispensable fluid: its complex composition is finely attuned to life's needs and functions. At the same time, blood can also be a signifier of death, and 'bloody' is used as a curse. This volume examines the many contrasting meanings of blood from diverse and illuminating perspectives.
