"Comprising eight revised essays and seven new pieces, this work provides a comprehensive resource for students, scientists, bioethicists, physicians, and laypeople to better understand and discuss the ethical issues underlying this technology that has the potential to forever change the world"--
As humans evolved, we developed technologies to modify our environment, yet these innovations are increasingly affecting our behavior, biology, and society. Now we must figure out how to function in the world we’ve created. Over thousands of years, humans have invented ingenious ways to gain mastery over our environment. The ability to communicate, accumulate knowledge collectively, and build on previous innovations has enabled us to change nature. Innovation has allowed us to thrive. The trouble with innovation is that we can seldom go back and undo it. We invent, embrace, and exploit new technologies to modify our environment. Then we modify those technologies to cope with the resulting ...
New York Times bestselling author Donna Grant returns to Drahcir with a tale of love and magic unlike any other. Four brothers, a secret kingdom, and an ancient curse. As the youngest of the four princes, Sorin waited for his chance to search out his mate. Now, it’s his time to fulfill his duty, and he refuses to fail. But the dangerous magical creature tracking his every move is one step ahead of him, and Sorin must reveal the truth of what he is and where he comes from to his mate—or die trying. Will the undeniable attraction they share, be enough to convince her to leave everything she knows and enter a magical kingdom? Katrina feared she’d never find a man to hold her interests. Until Sorin. He’s charismatic, dangerous, and handsome as sin, and she feels alive when she’s with him—as if she’s waited for him her entire life. Katrina knows in her heart that they’re meant to be together, but is the love she feels enough to leave her family behind forever?
Would you sacrifice your soul to save mankind? Katrina and Erik stopped and stared. On the floor was a glowing arcane circle inscribed with mystical runes, and in the middle of that was a magical portal through which they could see another world. Standing beside this mystical gateway was a man wearing a dark robe. He raised his right hand and pointed one bony finger at Katrina. Between Katrina and the otherworldly portal was one of the maggot creatures, and another one was squirming its way through the gateway. Behind that she could see scores more, perhaps hundreds more, all clamoring, pushing and shoving to reach the portal to escape from their own abyssal hell, to emerge here in Mar Delen...
This is the first book ever to examine the riches of what Darwin himself wrote about psychological matters. It unearths a Darwin new to science, whose first concern is the agency of organisms-from which he derives both his psychology, and his theory of evolution.
A geneticist and internationally recognized anti-racism educator provides a powerful, science-based rebuttal to common fallacies about human difference. Well-meaning physicians, parents, and even scientists today often spread misinformation about what biology can and can’t tell us about our bodies, minds, and identities. In this accessible, myth-busting book, geneticist Shoumita Dasgupta draws on the latest science to correct common misconceptions about how much of our social identities are actually based in genetics. Dasgupta weaves together history, current affairs, and cutting-edge science to break down how genetic concepts are misused and how we can approach scientific evidence in a socially responsible way. With a unifying and intersectional approach disentangling biology from bigotry, the book moves beyond race and gender to incorporate categories like sexual orientation, disability, and class. Where Biology Ends and Bias Begins is an invaluable, empowering resource for biologists, geneticists, science educators, and anyone working against bias in their community.
Shunted from one foster family to the next after a terrible accident that left their father dead and their mother unable to cope, Khia Ashworth and her little brother, Devon, have already experienced enough drama to last them several lifetimes, but when strange dreams and odd happenings warn of danger and inexplicable circumstances beyond their control, they find themselves on the run. Given little choice in the matter, by a world that seems to have gone crazy, they place their faith (and lives) in the hands of some of the oddest people they could ever have expected to meet: people who seem to defy logic; people willing to risk everything in order to keep them one step ahead of the strange forces that seek to destroy them, and bring them safely to the final fragment of their shattered family. Somewhere between history and legend, good and evil, the real world and the endless worlds of possibility... this is where authors Bruno and Tina Pecile take their readers with this innovative and compelling story: somewhere Between & Betwixt.
