Diane Tober’s new book, Eggonomics: The Global Market in Human Eggs and the Donors Who Supply Them, was awarded the Carol R. Ember Book Prize by the Society for Anthropological Sciences (SAS). The SAS Carol R. Ember Book Prize recognizes books whose significant theoretical, empirical, or methodological contributions to anthropology embody the mission of SAS to advance the scientific study of human societies.
