Serpents In The Garden
Dragons have always been a prevalent part of the mythos of humankind. Since ancient times they have existed in the hazy twilight of the sunrise and the darkening shadows given strength by the fading sun. They have dwelt with us in virtually every culture that has risen or fallen in the long existence of this fragile world. We only upon occasion, catch a fleeting glimpses of them, as we pass through their shadows, never looking fully upon the terrible truths that they may represent. At times, these are creatures to inspire and offer salvation from the troubles that plague our kind. But more often, they are a darker reflection of the fear, suffering and pain that we both individually and collectively endure during the short course of our mortal lives. Serpents in the Garden, is a Thunder of three decades of the human condition and the world's pain as experienced by one such man, trying at best, to exorcise his own darker Dragons and at worst, to justify his own actions in a world that we all struggle to survive within. Some might consider them to be, the unexpected expectation of life.
Regenesis
A Harvard biologist and master inventor explores how new biotechnologies will enable us to bring species back from the dead, unlock vast supplies of renewable energy, and extend human life. In Regenesis, George Church and science writer Ed Regis explore the possibilities of the emerging field of synthetic biology. Synthetic biology, in which living organisms are selectively altered by modifying substantial portions of their genomes, allows for the creation of entirely new species of organisms. These technologies-far from the out-of-control nightmare depicted in science fiction-have the power to improve human and animal health, increase our intelligence, enhance our memory, and even extend our life span. A breathtaking look at the potential of this world-changing technology, Regenesis is nothing less than a guide to the future of life.
Regenesis
ReGenesis tells a tale of Earth in the 34th century. Astronauts from 21st century Earth, misdirected in deep space have inadvertently returned to their home planet to discover a totally new and radically different world. The 34th century Earth displays the characteristics of a utopian society, has no wars or confl icts, has almost no poverty and a pristine environment. The Earth in 3339 boasts miraculous advances in technology, in medicine and in law enforcement and government. The United States rules the planet with an iron hand and freedom has been redefi ned. The U.S. President is not sure whether to allow the six astronauts from the 21st century to continue as citizens of this re-created planet. For more information, please visit www.regenesisbook.com
Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact
Originally published in German in 1935, this monograph anticipated solutions to problems of scientific progress, the truth of scientific fact and the role of error in science now associated with the work of Thomas Kuhn and others. Arguing that every scientific concept and theory—including his own—is culturally conditioned, Fleck was appreciably ahead of his time. And as Kuhn observes in his foreword, "Though much has occurred since its publication, it remains a brilliant and largely unexploited resource." "To many scientists just as to many historians and philosophers of science facts are things that simply are the case: they are discovered through properly passive observation of natural reality. To such views Fleck replies that facts are invented, not discovered. Moreover, the appearance of scientific facts as discovered things is itself a social construction, a made thing. A work of transparent brilliance, one of the most significant contributions toward a thoroughly sociological account of scientific knowledge."—Steven Shapin, Science
Regenesis
The Sunday Times bestseller *Shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize* A New Statesman and Spectator Book of the Year 'This book calls for nothing less than a revolution in the future of food' Kate Raworth From the bestselling author of Feral, a breathtaking first glimpse of a new future for food and for humanity Farming is the world's greatest cause of environmental destruction - and the one we are least prepared to talk about. We criticise urban sprawl, but farming sprawls across thirty times as much land. We have ploughed, fenced and grazed great tracts of the planet, felling forests, killing wildlife, and poisoning rivers and oceans to feed ourselves. Yet millions still go hungry. Now the fo...
A Case for Climate Engineering
A leading scientist argues that we must consider deploying climate engineering technology to slow the pace of global warming. Climate engineering—which could slow the pace of global warming by injecting reflective particles into the upper atmosphere—has emerged in recent years as an extremely controversial technology. And for good reason: it carries unknown risks and it may undermine commitments to conserving energy. Some critics also view it as an immoral human breach of the natural world. The latter objection, David Keith argues in A Scientist's Case for Climate Engineering, is groundless; we have been using technology to alter our environment for years. But he agrees that there are la...

The evolution of sustainability, with a practical framework for integration Regenerative Development and Design takes sustainability to the next level, and provides a framework for incorporating regenerative design principles into your current process. The Regenesis Group is a coalition of experienced design, land-use, planning, business, and development professionals who represent the forefront of the movement; in this book, they explain what regenerative development is, how and why it works, and how you can incorporate the fundamental principles into your practice. A clear, focused framework shows you how to merge regenerative concepts with your existing work, backed by numerous examples t...
The Oxford Handbook of Law, Regulation and Technology
The variety, pace, and power of technological innovations that have emerged in the 21st Century have been breathtaking. These technological developments, which include advances in networked information and communications, biotechnology, neurotechnology, nanotechnology, robotics, and environmental engineering technology, have raised a number of vital and complex questions. Although these technologies have the potential to generate positive transformation and help address 'grand societal challenges', the novelty associated with technological innovation has also been accompanied by anxieties about their risks and destabilizing effects. Is there a potential harm to human health or the environmen...
