Dilemas de bioética
Un sector de la comunidad cientifica e intelectual mundial ha planteado la necesidad del debate ante practicas como los experimentos con las celulas troncales, que permiten el tratamiento terapeutico de enfermedades graves. Las discusiones se han extendido velozmente a la sociedad, pues es esta, con el conocimiento de todos los factores implicados, la que debe determinar los alcances y los limites de la investigacion cientifica, toda vez que colindan con la manipulacion humana de la vida. Al mismo tiempo se agregan topicos como el estatus ontologico, moral y juridico del embrion, los consensos y disensos en la bioetica y la etica frente a los animales. Investigadores de primer orden reconocidos en el ambito internacional aportan sus puntos de vista en estos asuntos para la integracion del libro, coordinado por la cientifica mexicana Juliana Gonzalez.

After Darwin: Animals, Emotions, and the Mind
‘What is emotion?’ pondered the young Charles Darwin in his notebooks. How were the emotions to be placed in an evolutionary framework? And what light might they shed on human-animal continuities? These were among the questions Darwin explored in his research, assisted both by an acute sense of observation and an extraordinary capacity for fellow feeling, not only with humans but with all animal life. After Darwin: Animals, Emotions, and the Mind explores questions of mind, emotion and the moral sense which Darwin opened up through his research on the physical expression of emotions and the human–animal relation. It also examines the extent to which Darwin’s ideas were taken up by Victorian writers and popular culture, from George Eliot to the Daily News. Bringing together scholars from biology, literature, history, psychology, psychiatry and paediatrics, the volume provides an invaluable reassessment of Darwin’s contribution to a new understanding of the moral sense and emotional life, and considers the urgent scientific and ethical implications of his ideas today.
Elephant Slaves & Pampered Parrots
This lively history “adds a new dimension to our understanding of 18th-century France” by exploring the Parisian fashion of importing exotic animals (American Historical Review). In 1775, a visitor to Laurent Spinacuta’s Grande Ménagerie at the annual winter fair in Paris would have seen two tigers, several kinds of monkeys, an armadillo, an ocelot, and a condor—in all, forty-two live animals. In the streets of the city, one could observe performing elephants and a fighting polar bear. Those looking for unusual pets could purchase parrots, flying squirrels, and capuchin monkeys. The royal menagerie at Versailles displayed lions, cranes, an elephant, a rhinoceros, and a zebra, which ...
