Best Deals

Tophatter's makes every effort to have the lowest price on the internet for daily deals on the day they are offered for sale. This means that you will not find a lower price anywhere from a valid seller with an identical product. It is possible, on occasion, that you may find a lower price for the same thing on an eBay listing, but they are often used and we can't gauge the quality of the company or their service, so we don't even try to compare our product prices to them. We often list the "Retail Price" of an item for comparison purposes. This is typically the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price or MSRP. Products are sold below MSRP in many instances, especially watches and jewelry. On the other hand, many of the top brands often don't allow any discounting from MSRP by their retailers except in special situations. Tophatter's does not attempt to portray the "Street Value" of an item. The street value fluctuates too much to effectively follow and there is no standard on which to base this price. You can get estimates of the price an item typically sells for elsewhere, on sites like Google Shopping or Amazon.com. Most of the time, however, Tophatter's will have the best price, and usually by a generous margin.

YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN US ON:

A multidisciplinary group of prominent scholars investigates the historical relationship between sexually transmitted infections and infertility. Untreated gonorrhea and chlamydia cause infertility in a proportion of women and men. Unlike the much-feared venereal disease of syphilis--'the pox'--gonorrhea and chlamydia are often symptomless, leaving victims unaware of the threat to their fertility. Science did not unmask the causal microorganisms until thelate nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Their effects on fertility in human history remain mysterious. This is the first volume to address the subject across more than two thousand years of human history.

Following asynoptic editorial introduction, part 1 explores the enigmas of evidence from ancient and early modern medical sources. Part 2 addresses fundamental questions about when exactly these diseases first became human afflictions, withnew contributions from bioarcheology, genomics, and the history of medicine, producing surprising new insights. Part 3 presents studies of infertility and its sociocultural consequences in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Africa, Oceania, and Australia. Part 4 examines the quite different ways the infertility threat from STIs was perceived--by scientists, the public, and government--in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Germany, France, and Britain, concluding with a pioneering empirical estimate of the infertility impact in Britain.
