Had Bruce Quenton ever dabbled in the realm of mystical theology, he might have some idea about where he is and where he is being led in the Obscure Night. He might be able to sense the difference between life and death, and understand why he is compelled to fight so hard to be recognized as the person he had always been. The onus falls on Julie Redics to decide if Bruce is the man that he claims to be before she is obliged to prosecute him to the death chamber as a serial murderer. After all, it was Bruce who saved her from a knife-wielding rapist, and is the only man she ever loved. Most of us assume that, if we prepare, we will be safely guided through the Obscure Night. But how are we to know if it’s too late and we are already there?
What can social science, and demography in particular, reasonably expect to learn from biological information? There is increasing pressure for multipurpose household surveys to collect biological data along with the more familiar interviewer-respondent information. Given that recent technical developments have made it more feasible to collect biological information in non-clinical settings, those who fund, design, and analyze survey data need to think through the rationale and potential consequences. This is a concern that transcends national boundaries. Cells and Surveys addresses issues such as which biologic/genetic data should be collected in order to be most useful to a range of social scientists and whether amassing biological data has unintended side effects. The book also takes a look at the various ethical and legal concerns that such data collection entails.

"In Plague Time, Ewald puts forth an astonishing and profound argument that challenges our modern beliefs about disease: it is germs - not genes - that mold our lives and cause our deaths. Building on the recently recognized infectious origins of ulcers, miscarriages, and cancers, he draws together a startling collection of discoveries that now implicate infection in the most destructive chronic diseases of our time, such as heart disease, Alzheimer's, and schizophrenia."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
