The riveting history of the strange science of the 'Normal', and the origins of an anxiety-ridden modern obsession
Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.
Sarah Chaney is a research fellow at the Queen Mary Centre for the History of the Emotions. She spent her teens and twenties furiously rebelling against the mainstream, whilst secretly longing to be normal. It wasn't until she passed thirty that she (mostly) stopped worrying about this mythical ideal. Alongside her research work she runs the public exhibitions and events programme at the Royal College of Nursing, occasionally writes for The Conversation and Psychology Today and reads far too much X-Men fanfic.
