Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
The creation of Dolly the sheep in the 1990s was for many people the start of a new era: the age of genetically modified animals. However, the idea was not new for in the 1920s an amateur scientist, Hans Duncker, decided to genetically engineer a red canary. Though his experiments failed, they paved the way for others to succeed when it was recognised that the canary needed to be both a product of nature and nurture. This highly original narrative, of huge contemporary relevance, reveals how the obsession with turning the wild canary from green to red heralded the exciting but controversial developments in genetic manipulation.

The Tribe
Author: Joseph Deaton
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1635682533
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
This road trip is a moving human record, tragic, poignant, and humorous. A true account, which follows an attempt to cope with changing culture where everything is being short-circuited. While appearing to be a simple tale there is hidden sophistication. It is a story of the first magnitude. The narrative swepts through history with camouflaged complexity. In places it is a dreadful miasama, filled with anger, bitterness and pain, from the physicist explanation of where humanity fits into the scheme of things, to the small Japanese child who ask repeatedly the strangers fleeing toward the River Plio after the bomb fell, “why is it dark again so early in the day.” Exploring the intersection between science, religion and culture, the reader is forced to think deeply as it interrupts the long communion of our own desires when we cannot refuse to accept some of its insights. With candor the tale takes one through the five stages of grief moving back and forth in time in a no holds barred fashion, told by the very people who lived it. Brace yourself for their passage into trouble is brutal and stark. The tribe is the remnants of a long line (the long column) of English Knights. Their solutions melt into a gripping tale that flows like a river into the heart of every person who has a family for every family has a tribe around it. A special touch of this tour de force is the haunting undercurrent of a search for love among ruins. P.S. The Tribe can be more fully understood as a part of a trilogy. The Life and Crimes of Bug Tussle is the second part. The trilogy was withdrawn in consideration for Angus Deatons after he was nominated for a Nobel prize for his work in economics.
