Pittis Genealogy
John Pittis (1774-1855) was the eldest son of Thomas Pittis and Mary Clarke, born in Newport, Isle of Wight, England. He married Mary Dore in 1795, and in 1819 they immigrated to Baltimore, Maryland.

Descendants and relatives lived in Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Montana, California and elsewhere. Includes many ancestors and relatives in England to 1480, and also includes descendants and relatives who immigrated to Quebec, Ontario and elsewhere in Canada.
From Gaia to Selfish Genes
From Gaia to Selfish Genes is a different kind of anthology. Lively excerpts from the popular writings of leading theorists in the life sciences blend in a seamless presentation of the controversies and bold ideas driving contemporary biological research. Selections span scales from the biosphere to the cell and DNA, and disciplines from global ecology to behavior and genetics, and also reveals the links between biology and philosophy. They plunge the reader into debates about heredity and environment, competition and cooperation, randomness and determinism, and the meaning of individuality. From Gaia to Selfish Genes conveys the technical and conceptual roots of current scientific theories ...
Collective Violence and the Agrarian Origins of South African Apartheid, 1900-1948
This book examines violence against the rural African population and Africans in general before apartheid became the justification for the existence of the South African state.
The Century of the Gene
In a book that promises to change the way we think and talk about genes and genetic determinism, Evelyn Fox Keller, one of our most gifted historians and philosophers of science, provides a powerful, profound analysis of the achievements of genetics and molecular biology in the twentieth century, the century of the gene. Not just a chronicle of biology’s progress from gene to genome in one hundred years, The Century of the Gene also calls our attention to the surprising ways these advances challenge the familiar picture of the gene most of us still entertain. Keller shows us that the very successes that have stirred our imagination have also radically undermined the primacy of the gene—w...

Genes in Conflict
In evolution, most genes survive and spread within populations because they increase the ability of their hosts (or their close relatives) to survive and reproduce. But some genes spread in spite of being harmful to the host organism—by distorting their own transmission to the next generation, or by changing how the host behaves toward relatives. As a consequence, different genes in a single organism can have diametrically opposed interests and adaptations.Covering all species from yeast to humans, Genes in Conflict is the first book to tell the story of selfish genetic elements, those continually appearing stretches of DNA that act narrowly to advance their own replication at the expense ...
