Eugene Field: A Study in Heredity and Contradictions Complete Edition (Vol. 1&2)【電子書籍】[ Slason Thompson ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book features a biographical account of the American writer Eugene Field (1850-1895), best known for his children's poetry and humorous essays. There were two Fields ? the author and the man ? and it is the purpose of this study to reproduce the latter as he appeared to those who knew and loved him for what he was personally for the benefit of those who have only known him through the medium of his writings. In doing this it was far from the author's intention and farther from his friendship to disturb any of the preconceptions that have been formed from the perusal of Field's works as these are the creations of something entirely apart from the man whose genius produced them. Contents: Pedigree His Father's First Love-affair The Dred Scott Case Birth and Early Youth Education Choice of a Profession Marriage and Early Domestic Life Early Experiences in Journalism In Denver, 1881-1883 Anecdotes of Life in Denver Coming to Chicago Personal Characteristics Relations with Stage Folk Beginning of His Literary Education Method of Work Nature of His Daily Work Pedigree Introduction to Colored Inks Some Letters More Letters Publication of His First Books His Second Visit to Europe In the Saints' and Sinners' Corner Political Relations His "Auto-analysis" Last Years Last Days</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Elsie Venner An Exploration of Heredity, Morality, and the Supernatural in 19th-Century New England【電子書籍】[ Oliver Wendell Holmes ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Elsie Venner," Oliver Wendell Holmes intertwines psychological depth with a rich narrative style reflective of the era'??s romanticism and emerging realism. Set in the academic backdrop of 19th century New England, the novel explores complex themes of identity, nature vs. nurture, and the intersection of science and superstition. Holmes employs vivid characterizations and intricate plot developments to craft a compelling tale centered on the enigmatic Elsie, a young woman grappling with her unique heritage and the societal expectations surrounding it. The book delves into the moral dilemmas of its time, making it a significant commentary on the interplay between human emotions and societal constructs. Oliver Wendell Holmes, a prominent figure in American literature and a contemporary of the Transcendentalists, drew from both his medical background and his keen observations of human behavior. His experiences as a physician profoundly informed his depiction of Elsie, blending a nuanced understanding of human psychology with the philosophical inquiries of the day. Holmes'??s position within the Boston intellectual elite provided a fertile ground for his exploration of social themes, reflecting the changing cultural landscape of post-Civil War America. "Elsie Venner" is highly recommended for readers interested in the psychological dimensions of character-driven narratives. Holmes'??s innovative blend of Gothic elements with philosophical depth invites contemporary audiences to engage with the timeless issues of identity and belonging. This novel not only provides an engrossing story but also serves as a critical lens through which to examine the societal values of both the past and present.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The genetic and the operative evidence relating to secondary sexual characters Unlocking the Secrets of Genetic Heredity in Evolutionary Biology【電子書籍】[ Thomas Hunt Morgan ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "The Genetic and the Operative Evidence Relating to Secondary Sexual Characters," Thomas Hunt Morgan explores the intricate relationship between genetic factors and the manifestation of secondary sexual traits in various species. Utilizing a meticulous blend of experimental data and field observations, Morgan elucidates the principles of inheritance while examining the evolutionary significance of these characteristics. The book is acclaimed for its precise organization and rigorous scientific methodology, situating it firmly within the context of early 20th-century genetics and evolutionary biology, just before the modern synthesis was fully articulated. Thomas Hunt Morgan, a preeminent geneticist and Nobel Laureate, is renowned for his pioneering work with fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster). His early interest in the variations found in these organisms ultimately shaped his inquiries into genetic inheritance and sexual selection. Morgan'??s approach reflects a profound understanding of both the biological sciences and philosophical currents of his time, as he sought to bridge experimental biology with broader evolutionary theories. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the foundations of genetics, evolutionary biology, or the history of science. Morgan'??s influential insights not only paved the way for future research on sexual selection but also encourage critical thinking about the complex interplay between genes and environment. Scholars and enthusiasts alike will find value in his thorough and carefully constructed arguments.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Evil That Men Do: 'No one would question the fact of heredity''【電子書籍】[ M P Shiel ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Matthew Phipps Shiell was born in Montserrat in the West Indies on the 21st July 1865 and was believed to be illegitimate.</p> <p>He was educated at Harrison College, Barbados before moving to Englsand in 1885 to work as a teacher and translator. He soon began to write and published a series of short stories in The Strand magazine and other periodicals. Some of his works were as a writer for hire and it seems probable that even his first novel ‘The Rajah's Sapphire’ (1896) was one of these.</p> <p>Perhaps his best-known work was ‘The Purple Cloud’ (1901) and it is still considered an important early work of British science fiction.</p> <p>His first marriage to the Parisian-Spaniard, Carolina Garcia Gomez in 1898 provided him a muse for a character in ‘Cold Steel’ (1900) and several short stories. They separated around 1903 and his daughter was taken to Spain after Lina died the following year. Money seemed to be at the heart of the marriage’s problems.</p> <p>Shiel, like many writers wanted to write literature but his finances needed more commercial fare. With his more artistic efforts failing to provide he collaborated with Louis Tracy on a series of romantic mystery novels.</p> <p>In 1902, Shiel published in book form ‘The Weird o'It’ which he described as a "true Bible or Holy Book" for modern times and its attempt to present "Christianity in a radical way."</p> <p>Soon after Shiel turned his pen to contemporary themes with an historical novel about the Russo-Japanese War of 1904?1905. But he faced declining sales and tried to boost them by returning to a previous success ‘The Yellow Danger’. These efforts failed to capture any meaningful sales.</p> <p>By 1914 Shiel was in prison for "indecently assaulting and carnally knowing" his 12-year-old de facto stepdaughter. He served sixteen months of hard labour.</p> <p>Over the next decade Shiel wrote five plays, dabbled in radical politics and translated pamphlets for the Workers Socialist Federation. In 1919, he married Esther Lydia Jewson. The marriage lasted a decade but fell apart over his sexual interest in and possible abuse of his wife’s young female relatives.</p> <p>Financially life was difficult, but he was helped in 1931 to obtain a Civil List pension despite his criminal record.</p> <p>Shiel published 25 novels, several collections of short stories, essays poems and plays.</p> <p>M P Sheil died on the 17th February 1947. He was 81.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Political Biology Science and Social Values in Human Heredity from Eugenics to Epigenetics【電子書籍】[ M. Meloni ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book explores the socio-political implications of human heredity from the second half of the nineteenth century to the present postgenomic moment. It addresses three main phases in the politicization of heredity: the peak of radical eugenics (1900-1945), characterized by an aggressive ethos of supporting the transformation of human society via biological knowledge; the repositioning, after 1945, of biological thinking into a liberal-democratic, human rights framework; and the present postgenomic crisis in which the genome can no longer be understood as insulated from environmental signals.<br /> In Political Biology, Maurizio Meloni argues that thanks to the ascendancy of epigenetics we may be witnessing a return to soft heredity - the idea that these signals can cause changes in biology that are themselves transferable to succeeding generations. This book will be of great interest to scholars across science and technology studies, the philosophy and history of science, and political and social theory.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

A Cultural History of Heredity【電子書籍】[ Staffan M?ller-Wille ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>“Thought-provoking…any scientist interested in genetics will find this an enlightening look at the history of this field.”ー<em>Quarterly Review of Biology</em></strong></p> <p>It was only around 1800 that heredity began to enter debates among physicians, breeders, and naturalists. Soon thereafter, it evolved into one of the most fundamental concepts of biology.</p> <p>Here, Staffan Muller-Wille and Hans-Jorg Rheinberger offer a succinct cultural history of the scientific concept of heredity. They outline the dramatic changes the idea has undergone since the early modern period and describe the political and technological developments that brought about these changes. They begin with an account of premodern theories of generation, showing that these were concerned with the procreation of individuals rather than with hereditary transmission, and reveal that when hereditarian thinking first emerged, it did so in a variety of cultural domains, such as politics and law, medicine, natural history, breeding, and anthropology.</p> <p>The authors then track theories of heredity from the late nineteenth centuryーwhen leading biologists considered it in light of growing societal concerns with race and eugenicsーthrough the rise of classical and molecular genetics in the twentieth century, to today, as researchers apply sophisticated information technologies to understand heredity. What we come to see from this exquisite history is why it took such a long time for heredity to become a prominent concept in the life sciences, and why it gained such overwhelming importance in those sciences and the broader culture over the last two centuries.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

She Has Her Mother's Laugh The Powers, Perversions, and Potential of Heredity【電子書籍】[ Carl Zimmer ]

<p>**2019 PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award Finalist</p> <p>"Science book of the year"ー<em>The Guardian</em>**</p> <p><strong>One of <em>New York Times</em> 100 Notable Books for 2018</strong><br /> <strong>One of <em>Publishers Weekly</em>'s Top Ten Books of 2018<br /> One of <em>Kirkus</em>'s Best Books of 2018<br /> One of Mental Floss's Best Books of 2018<br /> One of Science Friday's Best Science Books of 2018</strong></p> <p><strong>“Extraordinary”ー<em>New York Times Book Review</em><br /> "Magisterial"ー<em>The Atlantic</em></strong><br /> <strong>"Engrossing"ー<em>Wired</em></strong><br /> <strong>"Leading contender as the most outstanding nonfiction work of the year"ー<em>Minneapolis Star-Tribune</em></strong></p> <p>Celebrated <em>New York Times</em> columnist and science writer Carl Zimmer presents a profoundly original perspective on what we pass along from generation to generation. Charles Darwin played a crucial part in turning heredity into a scientific question, and yet he failed spectacularly to answer it. The birth of genetics in the early 1900s seemed to do precisely that. Gradually, people translated their old notions about heredity into a language of genes. As the technology for studying genes became cheaper, millions of people ordered genetic tests to link themselves to missing parents, to distant ancestors, to ethnic identities...</p> <p>But, Zimmer writes, “Each of us carries an amalgam of fragments of DNA, stitched together from some of our many ancestors. Each piece has its own ancestry, traveling a different path back through human history. A particular fragment may sometimes be cause for worry, but most of our DNA influences who we areーour appearance, our height, our penchantsーin inconceivably subtle ways.” Heredity isn’t just about genes that pass from parent to child. Heredity continues within our own bodies, as a single cell gives rise to trillions of cells that make up our bodies. We say we inherit genes from our ancestorsーusing a word that once referred to kingdoms and estatesーbut we inherit other things that matter as much or more to our lives, from microbes to technologies we use to make life more comfortable. We need a new definition of what heredity is and, through Carl Zimmer’s lucid exposition and storytelling, this resounding tour de force delivers it.</p> <p>Weaving historical and current scientific research, his own experience with his two daughters, and the kind of original reporting expected of one of the world’s best science journalists, Zimmer ultimately unpacks urgent bioethical quandaries arising from new biomedical technologies, but also long-standing presumptions about who we really are and what we can pass on to future generations.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Heredity and Infection The History of Disease Transmission【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Ideas about the transmission of disease have long formed the core of modern biology and medicine. <em>Heredity and Infection</em> examines their development over the last century. Two scientific revolutions - the bacteriological revolution of the 1890s and the genetic revolution at the start of the twentieth century - acted as the catalysts of major change in our understanding of the causes of illness. As well as being great scientific achievements, these were social and political watersheds that reconfigured the medical and administrative means of intervention. By establishing a clear distinction between transmission by infection and genetic transmission, this shift was instrumental in separating hygiene from eugenism.<br /> The authors argue that the popular perception of such a sharp divide stabilized only after 1945 when the use of antibiotics to end epidemics became commonplace. For health professionals the separation has never become an absolute one, and the book examines the various blends of heredity and infection that have preoccupied biology, medicine and the social sciences. <em>Heredity and Infection</em> recontructs the changing epidemiology of such historically important pathologies as tuberculosis , cancer and AIDS. In doing so, it demonstrates the role of experimental models, medical practices and cultural images in the making of contemporary biochemical knowledge.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Reticulate Evolution Symbiogenesis, Lateral Gene Transfer, Hybridization and Infectious Heredity【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Written for non-experts, this volume introduces the mechanisms that underlie reticulate evolution. Chapters are either accompanied with glossaries that explain new terminology or timelines that position pioneering scholars and their major discoveries in their historical contexts. The contributing authors outline the history and original context of discovery of symbiosis, symbiogenesis, lateral gene transfer, hybridization or divergence with gene flow and infectious heredity. By applying key insights from the areas of molecular (phylo)genetics, microbiology, virology, ecology, systematics, immunology, epidemiology and computational science, they demonstrate how reticulate evolution impacts successful survival, fitness and speciation.</p> <p>Reticulate evolution brings forth a challenge to the standard Neo-Darwinian framework, which defines life as the outcome of bifurcation and ramification patterns brought forth by the vertical mechanism of natural selection. Reticulate evolution puts forward a pattern in the tree of life that is characterized by horizontal mergings and lineage crossings induced by symbiosis, symbiogenesis, lateral gene transfer, hybridization or divergence with gene flow and infective heredity, making the “tree of life” look more like a “web of life.” On an epistemological level, the various means by which hereditary material can be transferred horizontally challenges our classic notions of units and levels of evolution, fitness, modes of transmission, linearity, communities and biological individuality.</p> <p>The case studies presented examine topics including the origin of the eukaryotic cell and its organelles through symbiogenesis; the origin of algae through primary and secondary symbiosis and dinoflagellates through tertiary symbiosis; the superorganism and holobiont as units of evolution; how endosymbiosis induces speciation in multicellular life forms; transferrable and non-transferrable plasmids and how they symbiotically interact with their host; the means by which pro- and eukaryotic organisms transfer genes laterally (bacterial transformation, transduction and conjugation as well as transposons and other mobile genetic elements); hybridization and divergence with gene flow in sexually-reproducing individuals; current (human) microbiome and viriome studies that impact our knowledge concerning the evolution of organismal health and acquired immunity; and how symbiosis and symbiogenesis can be modelled in computational evolution.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Eugene Field: A Study in Heredity and Contradictions (Complete)【電子書籍】[ Slason Thompson ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Not as Other memoirs are written would Eugene Field, were he alive, have this study of his life. He would think more of making it reflect the odd personality of the man than rehearse the birth, development, daily life, and works of the author. If he had undertaken to write his own life, as was once his intention, it would probably have been the most remarkable work of fiction by an American author that ever masqueraded in the quaker garments of fact. From title-page to colophonーon which he would have insistedーthe book would have been one studied effort to quiz and queer (a favorite word of his) the innocent and willing-to-be-deluded reader. "Tell your sister for me," I recall his saying, "what a kind, good, and deserving man I am. How I love little children and [with a dry chuckle] elderly spinsters. Relate how I was born of rich yet honest parents, was reared in the 'nurture and admonition of the Lord,' and, according to the bent of a froward youth, have stumbled along to become the cynosure of a ribald age." Field's idea of a perfect memoir was that it should contain no facts that might interfere with its being novel and interesting reading both to the public and its subject. He set little store by genius, as he tells us in one of his letters, and less by "that nonsense called useful knowledge." His peculiar notions as to the field of biography were once illustrated in one he furnished to a New York firm, which proposed a series of biographies of well-known newspaper writers. It was arranged that Field and William E. Curtis, the noted Washington correspondent, should write each the Other's biography for the series. Mr. Curtis executed his sketch of Field in good faith; Field's sketch of Mr. Curtis was a marvel of waggish invention. Through an actor of the same name who some years before made quite a reputation as Samuel of Posen, he traced Mr. Curtis's birth back to Bohemia, and carried him at an early age to Jerusalem, where Curtis was said to have laid the foundations of his fame and fortune peddling suspenders. Later he sold newspapers on the streets, and, by practicing the shrewd and self-denying habits of his race, quickly became the owner of the paper for which he worked, which was called the New Jerusalem Messenger, the recognized organ of the New Jerusalem Church. Mr. Curtis's progressive tendencies, according to Field, quickly involved him in trouble with the government; his paper was suppressed, and he was banished from Jerusalem. When the special firmin of the Sultan expelling Mr. Curtis from Turkish dominions was published, it caused a great sensation in Chicago, where the Church of the New Jerusalem was very strong, and created an immediate rivalry between William Penn Nixon, editor of the Inter Ocean, and Melville E. Stone, editor of the Morning News, to secure his services. Mr. Nixon sent him a cablegram in Hebrew which was written by a Hebrew gentleman to whom Nixon sold old clothes, while Mr. Stone's cablegram was prepared by his father, the Rev. Mr. Stone, and was expressed in scriptural phraseology which was not understood in Jerusalem as well as it was at Galesburg, where Mr. Stone was then professor of the Hebrew language and literature. Curtis accepted the offer couched in the language of the Hebrew vender of old clothes and became a member of the editorial staff of the Inter Ocean. His first effective work on that newspaper was to convert Jonathan Young Scammon, then its owner, to the New Jerusalem faith (Mr. Scammon, whose real name was John, was the most prominent Swedenborgian in Chicago). Mr. Scammon was so grateful for his conversion from infidelity that in a moment of religious exaltation he raised Mr. Curtis's salary from 18 to 20. And thus the biography of Mr. Curtis proceeded along lines that gave the truth a wide berth, for Field held, with the old English jurists, that the greater the truth the greater the libel</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>In the blink of an eye it was over, but the curse of the night sky remained. Without their mighty technology, they went on with the slaughter, bloody hand to bloody hand. Until the problem became too obvious to ignore. 9 out of every 10 were infertile, and the brilliant men of science had arrogantly failed the world again.</p> <p>Populations collapsed.</p> <p>500 years passed and the curse only grew worse. Those that survived in peace were simply too remote for those who lived by the ways of war to reach. A band of refugees hears rumors of a village with a young seer, a paradise of sorts. It will be a long and hard fight to get there, but at least there's hope.</p> <p>But is hope alone enough?</p> <p>The Heredity of Hummingbirds is in the Hummingbird series and follows where Hell from a Well leaves off, but also stands alone like all the rest.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Carriers What the Fragile X Gene Reveals About Family, Heredity, and Scientific Discovery【電子書籍】[ Anne Skomorowsky ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>A tiny mutation on the X chromosome can shape a family’s history. Passed down from a “carrier” parent to a child, fragile X syndrome is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability and autism. Beyond thatーand a rarity among genetic disordersーsome fragile X carriers not only transmit the mutation but also experience related conditions themselves. In such cases, carriers can have tremors, infertility, and psychiatric disorders that complicate raising children with fragile X syndromeーand all too often, they suffer in silence.</p> <p><em>The Carriers</em> investigates this common but still little-known genetic condition and its life-altering consequences. Anne Skomorowsky reveals how this disorder afflicts families across generations, telling the stories of the mothers and grandparents of fragile X patients and considering how genes interact with family dynamics. She interweaves the personal narratives and family histories of the people affected by fragile X disorders with clear and accessible explanations of the science behind them. Skomorowsky unpacks the latest research on the fragile X mutation and explores the history of its discovery. She highlights the roles of women as carriers, caregivers, and researchers who have made astonishing scientific breakthroughs over the last three decades.</p> <p><em>The Carriers</em> is an essential book for fragile X families, including those just learning they are carriers, and for all readers interested in the complexities of heredity, the ethical dilemmas of genetic medicine, and the relationship between genes and personality.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Extended Heredity A New Understanding of Inheritance and Evolution【電子書籍】[ Russell Bonduriansky ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>How genes are not the only basis of heredityーand what this means for evolution, human life, and disease</strong></p> <p>For much of the twentieth century it was assumed that genes alone mediate the transmission of biological information across generations and provide the raw material for natural selection. In <em>Extended Heredity</em>, leading evolutionary biologists Russell Bonduriansky and Troy Day challenge this premise. Drawing on the latest research, they demonstrate that what happens during our lifetimes--and even our grandparents' and great-grandparents' lifetimesーcan influence the features of our descendants. On the basis of these discoveries, Bonduriansky and Day develop an extended concept of heredity that upends ideas about how traits can and cannot be transmitted across generations.</p> <p>By examining the history of the gene-centered view in modern biology and reassessing fundamental tenets of evolutionary theory, Bonduriansky and Day show that nongenetic inheritanceーinvolving epigenetic, environmental, behavioral, and cultural factorsーcould play an important role in evolution. The discovery of nongenetic inheritance therefore has major implications for key questions in evolutionary biology, as well as human health.</p> <p><em>Extended Heredity</em> reappraises long-held ideas and opens the door to a new understanding of inheritance and evolution.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Jukes-Edwards: A Study in Education and Heredity Unveiling the Legacy of Jukes-Edwards: Exploring the Genetic Influence on Education and Inheritance【電子書籍】[ Albert E. Winship ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Jukes-Edwards: A Study in Education and Heredity," Albert E. Winship presents a groundbreaking exploration of the intricate interplay between nature and nurture, using the infamous Jukes family as a case study to discuss broader societal implications of heredity on social morality and educational outcomes. Written in the early 20th century, Winship employs a meticulous blend of statistical analysis, anecdotal evidence, and socio-political commentary to analyze the impact of familial legacies on individual potential. The narrative is compelling and methodologically rigorous, offering insights that resonate with contemporary discussions about the influence of genetic predisposition versus environmental factors in shaping human behavior and societal roles. Albert E. Winship was an esteemed educator and sociologist who contributed significantly to the understanding of social dynamics within educational contexts. His fascination with the nexus of heredity and education arose from his commitment to progressive educational reforms, wherein he sought to dismantle prevailing deterministic views. His observations were informed not only by his academic background but also his engagement with various social research and policy endeavors aimed at bettering educational practices among disadvantaged populations. This seminal work is highly recommended for scholars, educators, and policy-makers interested in the historical context of education and social science. Winship's incisive analysis remains remarkably relevant, providing profound insights into the continuing debates surrounding heredity, education, and social responsibility.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

August Weismann Development, Heredity, and Evolution【電子書籍】[ Frederick B. Churchill ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The evolutionist Ernst Mayr considered August Weismann “one of the great biologists of all time.” Yet the man who formulated the germ plasm theoryーthat inheritance is transmitted solely through the nuclei of the egg and sperm cellsーhas not received an in-depth historical examination. <em>August Weismann</em> reintroduces readers to a towering figure in the life sciences. In this first full-length biography, Frederick Churchill situates Weismann in the swirling intellectual currents of his era and demonstrates how his work paved the way for the modern synthesis of genetics and evolution in the twentieth century.</p> <p>In 1859 Darwin’s tantalizing new idea stirred up a great deal of activity and turmoil in the scientific world, to a large extent because the underlying biological mechanisms of evolution through natural selection had not yet been worked out. Weismann’s achievement was to unite natural history, embryology, and cell biology under the capacious dome of evolutionary theory. In his major work on the germ plasm (1892), which established the material basis of heredity in the “germ cells,” Weismann delivered a crushing blow to Lamarck’s concept of the inheritance of acquired traits.</p> <p>In this deeply researched biography, Churchill explains the development of Weismann’s pioneering work based on cytology and embryology and opens up an expanded history of biology from 1859 to 1914. <em>August Weismann</em> is sure to become the definitive account of an extraordinary life and career.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Computational Studies on Cultural Variation and Heredity【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book explores the emerging concept of cultural DNA, considering its application across different fields and examining commonalities in approach. It approaches the subject from four different perspectives, in which the topics include theories, analysis and synthesis of cultural DNA artefacts.</p> <p>After an opening section which reviews theoretical work on cultural DNA research, the second section discusses analysis & synthesis of cultural DNA at the urban scale. Section three covers analysis & synthesis of cultural DNA artefacts, and the final section offers approaches to grammar-based cultural DNA research.</p> <p>The book places emphasis on two specific axes: one is the scale of the object under discussion, which ranges from the small (handheld artefacts) to the very large (cities); and the other is the methodology used from analysis to synthesis. This diverse approach with detailed information about grammar-based methodologies toward cultural DNA makes the book unique.</p> <p>This book will serve as a source of inspiration for designers and researchers trying to find the essence, archetype, and the building blocks of our environment for the incorporation of social and cultural factors into their designs.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Your Child, Today and Tomorrow (1912), some problems for parents concerning punishing, reasoning, lies, ideals and ambitions, fear, work and play, imagination, social activities, obedience, adolescence, will, and heredity【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The second edition, first published in 1920. According to the Preface: "In my efforts to learn something about the nature of the child, as a member of child-study groups, and in my own studies, I have found a large mass of material--accumulated by investigators into the psychology and the biology of childhood--which could be of great practical use to all concerned with the bringing up of children. In this little book I have tried to present some of this material in a form that will make it available for those who lack the time, or the special training or the opportunity to work it out for themselves. It has been my chief aim to show that a proper understanding of and sympathy with the various stages through which the child normally passes will do much toward making not only the child happier, but the task of the parents pleasanter. I am convinced that our failure to understand the workings of the child's mind is responsible for much of the friction between parents and children. We cannot expect the children, with their limited experience and their undeveloped intellect, to understand us; if we are to have harmony, intimacy and cooperation, these must come through the parents' successful efforts at understanding the children."</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Heredity and Child Culture【電子書籍】[ Henry Dwight Chapin ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>First published in 1923, this book explores the impact on development that heredity and environment has on children. Chaplin argues that too much reliance is placed on education and in fact parents, physicians and teachers should equally be taking into consideration the physical and mental constitution of the child, which could be linked to hereditary and environmental factors. In conjunction with the moral, spiritual and intellectual predispositions that the child may have, Chaplin argues the pros of eugenics (in the perspective of the early 20th century) and equally the importance of euthenics for future prosperity of generations to come.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Heredity Unknown【電子書籍】[ Mathew G. Alfes ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>Venus was never meant to welcome life. But something waited. And it called us.</strong></p> <p>In 1967, a Soviet mission makes the impossible descent into the hellish atmosphere of Venus. The world watches with awe and disbelief as contact is lostーforever. The official story ends there.</p> <p>But what wasn't told is that something survived.</p> <p>A decade later, whispers of a signalーunnatural, deliberateーemerge from the deep. A Soviet satellite crashes off the Pacific coast of the U.S., its wreckage carrying more than data: it holds traces of a presence no one can explain. A scrambled voice. A pulse. A word: <em>Help.</em></p> <p>Now, the Americans are racing to uncover the truth.</p> <p>NASA scientist Dr. William Carter and Navy Captain John Richards are assigned to recover the fallen probe, aidedーand hinderedーby military oversight, Cold War tensions, and growing fear. What begins as a mission to retrieve lost Soviet tech soon escalates into a revelation: the Soviet crew on Venus didn't just die… they changed.</p> <p>As classified footage resurfaces, and an unmarked Soviet ship is found eerily pristine yet abandoned, the pieces begin to connect. Something came back. Something that reshaped the crewーbody, mind, and identity. Something still transmitting. Still evolving.</p> <p>From the tense depths of Cold War paranoia to the crushing clouds of an alien world, <em>Heredity Unknown</em> blends hard science fiction with psychological horror. Through fragments of recovered footage, intercepted transmissions, and fractured memories, the mystery unravels: humanity isn't aloneーand maybe never was.</p> <p>What lies beneath Venus's clouds is not just alienーit's an ancient intelligence. And we've been part of it longer than we realize.</p> <p>The signal was never meant to be answered.</p> <p>But now it's too late.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>In Jukes-Edwards, Albert E. Winship examines the impact of education and heredity on human development by comparing the legacies of two families: the Jukes, associated with crime and poverty, and the Edwards, descendants of theologian Jonathan Edwards. Through detailed genealogical research, Winship contrasts the outcomes of these families, attributing their stark differences to factors such as moral character, education, and environment.The study argues for the transformative power of education and virtuous living in shaping generations, highlighting the societal costs of neglect and the potential benefits of investing in intellectual and moral growth. Winship’s work serves as both a cautionary tale and an inspiration, emphasizing the interconnectedness of individual choices and collective progress.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Handbook Of Forensic Genetics: Biodiversity And Heredity In Civil And Criminal Investigation【電子書籍】[ Antonio Amorim ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The use of genetics for the resolution of legal conflicts has recently been gaining a higher profile, largely as a result of scientific and technological advancements and the substantial broadening of applications. The theoretical framework underlying forensic genetics is the same irrespective of the materials and technology involved, however a great divide still exists in the manner and processes related to human and non-human analyses.This advanced handbook intends to overcome the historical barriers between the scientific fields of legal medicine, biodiversity and conservation, and food analysis by presenting a unifying, global perspective on the implications of genetic analyses on forensic affairs. This global perspective is presented in three parts: modes of inheritance and reproduction and taxonomic implications; current technological approaches and future perspectives; and a comprehensive systematization of the types of applications and organisms. Finally, a critical revision of the current investigative/expert systems and future perspectives is undertaken.This book provides a collection of international research, thereby constituting a reference platform for the forensic community and an advanced textbook for graduate students. It encompasses the theoretical bases of the field, and presents in the context of both perspectives of forensic action ー probative and investigative ー a comprehensive coverage of the current applications and technological state of the art.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
