The Brotherhood of Northumbria
Imagine a secret society that seeks to teach it's members to live truly free - what would it be like for it's members and in today's high-tech world, is it even possible? Could one live without a passport, without taxes, without government controls, without any of the restrictions that bind and subjugate us? As far back as the 7th century, members of the Brotherhood of Northumbria thought it was not only possible, but necessary. This is the amazing, action-packed and fast-paced story of what it meant to try and live free under the rule of ruthless feudal lords, and what it means to members of the Brotherhood in the 21st century. A must read historical fiction for anyone who dreams of living with absolute freedom. This book contains war, violence, physical altercation, murder, a secret society and much more. It is about swords, daggers, physical training and prowess and the ultimate struggle for independence. It is book one in the Brotherhood of Northumbria series.

Race
Perspectives on race today Featuring new and engaging essays by noted anthropologists and illustrated with full color photos, RACE: Are We So Different? is an accessible and fascinating look at the idea of race, demonstrating how current scientific understanding is often inconsistent with popular notions of race. Taken from the popular national public education project and museum exhibition, it explores the contemporary experience of race and racism in the United States and the often-invisible ways race and racism have influenced laws, customs, and social institutions.
Genetic Nature/Culture
The so-called science wars pit science against culture, and nowhere is the struggle more contentious—or more fraught with paradox—than in the burgeoning realm of genetics. A constructive response, and a welcome intervention, this volume brings together biological and cultural anthropologists to conduct an interdisciplinary dialogue that provokes and instructs even as it bridges the science/culture divide. Individual essays address issues raised by the science, politics, and history of race, evolution, and identity; genetically modified organisms and genetic diseases; gene work and ethics; and the boundary between humans and animals. The result is an entree to the complicated nexus of que...

New material in the second edition covers recent history and emerging topics in the study of race. The second edition has also been updated to account for advancements in the study of human genetic variation, which provide further evidence that race is an enti...
The Nature of Difference
Unprecedented advances in genetics and biotechnology have brought profound new insights into human biological variation. These present challenges and opportunities for understanding the origins of human nature, the nature of difference, and the social practices these sustain. This provides an opportunity for cooperation between the biological and s
Racism, Not Race
The science on race is clear. Common categories like “Black,” “white,” and “Asian” do not represent genetic differences among groups. But if race is a pernicious fiction according to natural science, it is all too significant in the day-to-day lives of racialized people across the globe. Inequities in health, wealth, and an array of other life outcomes cannot be explained without referring to “race”—but their true source is racism. What do we need to know about the pseudoscience of race in order to fight racism and fulfill human potential? In this book, two distinguished scientists tackle common misconceptions about race, human biology, and racism. Using an accessible quest...
Of Mind and Other Matters
This book displays both the remarkable diversity of Goodman's concerns and the essential unity of his thought. As a whole the volume will serve as a concise introduction to Goodman's thought for general readers, and will develop its more recent unfoldings for those philosophers and others who have grown wiser with his books over the years.
