Reviews
"Aimee Medeiros has produced a nuanced and persuasive examination of the origins and evolution of human growth hormone industry in America. Its wider implications for historians of medicine, especially those examining the role of the pharmaceutical industry, are profound." -- Bulletin of the History of Medicine " Heightened Expectations is an excellent treatment of a significant subject, the history of American ideas about height and medical approaches to issues of human growth, from the late 1800s onward. Medeiros's treatment fits beautifully into the powerful and growing literature on the history of medicine, disability, gender, and the body." --Amy Sue Bix, author of Girls Coming to Tech!: A History of American Engineering Education for Women and Inventing Ourselves Out of Jobs?: America's Debate over Technical Unemployment, 1929-1981, " Heightened Expectations offers a lively and engaging discussion of how short stature became a 'disease' in need of medical treatment. It convincingly demonstrates that the pathology-making of short stature dates back to the nineteenth century and is intertwined with the rise of modern capitalism." --Heather Munro Prescott, author of A Doctor of Their Own: The History of Adolescent Medicine and The Morning After: A History of Emergency Contraception in the United States, " Heightened Expectations is an excellent treatment of a significant subject, the history of American ideas about height and medical approaches to issues of human growth, from the late 1800s onward. Medeiros's treatment fits beautifully into the powerful and growing literature on the history of medicine, disability, gender, and the body." --Amy Sue Bix, author of Girls Coming to Tech!: A History of American Engineering Education for Women and Inventing Ourselves Out of Jobs?: America's Debate over Technical Unemployment, 1929-1981
