Book Description
Genetic Reflections - A Coloring Book aims to inspire young students and the public to explore the beauty of science and genetics. The organisms in this book are considered 'model' organisms, as they are widely studied in laboratories with hopes to understand human biology, disease pathologies, and ways to improve agricultural crops. Despite the great differences in shape and size, on the genetic level there are lots of similarities.In every species, DNA sequences consist of the same four building blocks (G, C, A, and T). However, slight changes in their use, even in the same gene, can occur in each species. The way our bodies and cells work are well conserved throughout evolution, even in species that may look very different from us. The beauty of our world, even on the cellular level, is apparent.Genetic Reflections - A Coloring Book is a collaboration between Ahna Skop, Elif Kurt and Caitlin Marks; two UW-Madison undergraduate Skop Lab members. This coloring book is the outcome of a year-long independent study in Life Sciences Communication with goals to broadly disseminate the Genetic Reflections scientific glass art installation created by Angela Johnson and Ahna Skop.Part of the proceeds of this book will be donated to charities and programs that support STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) educational innovations or public outreach events.

Book Description
The rise of the multi-billion dollar ancestry testing industry points to one immutable truth about us as human beings: we want to know where we come from and who our ancestors were. John H. Relethford and Deborah A. Bolnick explore this topic and many more in this second edition of Reflections of Our Past. Where did modern humans come from and how important are the biological differences among us? Are we descended from Neandertals? How should we understand the connections between genetic ancestry, race, and identity? Were Native Americans the first to inhabit the Americas? Can we see evidence of the Viking invasions of Ireland a millennium ago even in the Irish of today? Through engaging examination of issues such as these, and using non-technical language, Reflections of Our Past shows how anthropologists use genetic information to suggest answers to fundamental questions about human history. By looking at genetic variation in the world today and in the past, we can reconstruct the recent and remote events and processes that have created the variation we see, providing a fascinating reflection of our genetic past.

Book Description
In 1911, influential geneticist Charles Davenport published "Heredity in Relation to Eugenics," advancing his ideas of how genetics would improve society in the 20th century. In this new volume, Davenport's original book is reprinted along with essays from prominent academics who discuss themes from Davenport's book in a contemporary context.

Book Description
The interdependence of boundary questions and the experience of cognitive dissonance reveal that knowledge in all fields of inquiry is always incomplete and tentative. The issues are particularly acute for Christian theological reflection. Ingram illustrates the importance of boundary questions and cognitive dissonance as a means of creatively transforming contemporary Christian theological reflection through dialogue with the natural sciences and the world's religions, particularly Buddhism, filtered through the lenses of Whiteheadian process philosophy.

Book Description
Reflections on Biochemistry: In Honour of Severo Ochoa offers reflections on a wide range of topics relating to biochemistry, including energy metabolism, lipids and saccharides, regulation, nucleic acids and the genetic code, protein biosynthesis, and cell biology. The essays celebrate Severo Ochoa's outstanding contributions to biochemistry spanning nearly half a century. This book is comprised of 47 chapters and begins with a biography of Ochoa and his scientific work in the field of biochemistry, particularly his research on intermediary metabolism, RNA synthesis, and the genetic code. The discussion then turns to energy metabolism, photosynthesis, and fermentation, touching on topics such as the role of lactic acid in the development of biochemistry and the biosynthesis of cell components from acetate. The next section is devoted to lipids, saccharides, and cell walls and includes chapters that deal with biotin, sulfur biochemistry, and dipicolinic acid. Subsequent chapters explore hormonal regulation of adipose tissue lipolysis; the structural relationship between genes and enzymes; bacteriophages, colicins, and ribosomes; and cell biology and neurobiology. This monograph will be of interest to biochemists and students of biochemistry.

Book Description
Science need not be dull and bogged down by jargon, as Richard Dawkins proves in this entertaining look at evolution. The themes he takes up are the concepts of altruistic and selfish behaviour; the genetical definition of selfish interest; the evolution of aggressive behaviour; kinshiptheory; sex ratio theory; reciprocal altruism; deceit; and the natural selection of sex differences. 'Should be read, can be read by almost anyone. It describes with great skill a new face of the theory of evolution.' W.D. Hamilton, Science

Book Description
The second novel by Helmar Neubacher: Adolf Hitler »The Evil« - and the Revenge of the Billy Goat of Leonding Helmar Neubacher makes to a subject of discussion the »Evil« in the former “Fuehrer” of the German people and moreover gives answers to up to this day unanswered Questions: - What consequences on Hitler’s life did the bite of the »Billy Goat of Leonding« into the genitals of the then nine year old »Adi« have? - What influence did Hitler’s »Youth Years in Vienna« have on his personal development towards becoming Germany’s “Fuehrer”, as mankind knows him today – especially his visit to the Jewis whore Rebecca? - Where does Hitler’s unfathomable hatred and unrestrained will of destruction of Jews and everyone who didn’t follow his opinion come from? - Why, how and under which circumstances did his so dearly loved niece »Geli« Raubal die? Into the scene of action, the author integrates a highly intelligent species on a »far distant Earth«, which is observing the entire events on the Earth of the Humans with greatest of interest, without however intervening directly – and yet the millions of light years distant observers of the terrible happenings about Adolf Hitler show us - what they look like and - what feats they are capable of, resulting from their overwhelming technology. As a kind of gift they also solve the age-old secret of the origin of life on our earth and tell us people where we come from. Towards the end of the book, the author draws up a »scenario of terror«: H. Neubacher shows, how the then “Fuehrer” of the Germans nearly had managed by a hair’s breadth and without transition, in the year 1943 to provoke a 3rd World War from the 2nd World war and to cover the entire Earth with the fire of war. This novel was written in honour of a nearly unknown soldier of the 3rd Reich. The insignificant lance corporal Eugen Wasner in 1943 told his comrades on the Eastern Front the story of »The bite of the Billy Goat of Leonding«. He, Wasner, was present at the juvenile foul deed, when his school friend »Adi« urinated into the animal’s mouth. The Chancellor and Warlord Hitler terribly punished Wasner for his spreading of this story from childhood days. But the revenge of the abused animal kept catching up with the mighty “Fuehrer”, like a poetic justice, again and again during his entire life. A thrilling book ,which in the form of a novel, follows the historic events between 1919 and 1945 very vividly and informatively with a large number of new points of view and up to now unknown facts, endeavoring to help shed some light on the transfigured and mystical »picture of Hitler«.

Book Description
The aim of this volume is to offer an updated account of the transcendental character of phenomenology. The main question concerns the sense and relevance of transcendental philosophy today: What can such philosophy contribute to contemporary inquiries and debates after the many reasoned attacks against its idealistic, aprioristic, absolutist and universalistic tendencies—voiced most vigorously by late 20th century postmodern thinkers—as well as attacks against its apparently circular arguments and suspicious metaphysics launched by many analytic philosophers? Contributors also aim to clarify the relations of transcendental phenomenology to other post-Kantian philosophies, most importantly to pragmatism and Wittgenstein’s philosophical investigations. Finally, the volume offers a set of reflections on the meaning of post-transcendental phenomenology.
