Book Description
Every man should be a dreamer. Every man has a conception of his ideal world. The Ecology Defence and Environment Nursing (EDEN) brought its author to a blank drawing board. The activist group joined as a nation, survived a nuclear holocaust, and rebuilt the country from the ruins of the planet. The challenge repeats itself when humankind is forced to flee the doomed solar system from an incoming danger. In various galactic environments, often hostile, will humankind survive? Will men return to warfare measures against one another as the number of colonies multiply on foreign planets? Will the human race maintain common values despite the growing distance between their frontiers? Will they return to a double-faced justice system to match the color of the day? As foreign civilizations unite, this last volume of The Eden Democratic Kingdom trilogy keeps the door open to another adventure series: The Eden Galactic Confederation.

Survival of the Prettiest
Author: Nancy Etcoff
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0307779114
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
A provocative and thoroughly researched inquiry into what we find beautiful and why, skewering the myth that the pursuit of beauty is a learned behavior. In Survival of the Prettiest, Nancy Etcoff, a faculty member at Harvard Medical School and a practicing psychologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, argues that beauty is neither a cultural construction, an invention of the fashion industry, nor a backlash against feminism—it’s in our biology. Beauty, she explains, is an essential and ineradicable part of human nature that is revered and ferociously pursued in nearly every civilization—and for good reason. Those features to which we are most attracted are often signals of fertility and fecundity. When seen in the context of a Darwinian struggle for survival, our sometimes extreme attempts to attain beauty—both to become beautiful ourselves and to acquire an attractive partner—suddenly become much more understandable. Moreover, if we understand how the desire for beauty is innate, then we can begin to work in our own interests, and not just the interests of our genetic tendencies.
