Hormonal Theory is a long-awaited and much-needed contribution to the meaning and significance of hormones. An elegant combination of theorization and meticulous case studies, this glossary moves beyond prevailing biomedical understanding of hormones as signaling molecules or chemical messengers to show how they are co-constituted between the biological, environmental, cultural, and social. This outstanding book will unsettle our very understanding of what hormones are.
