Product Description
Genetic engineering has become a polarizing issue for political parties as well as ordinary citizens. Some people think it is progressive science that will help humanity deal with such world-wide problems as famine and disease. Other people strongly disagree. They say the effects of genetic engineering on the environment and public health make it a danger. There is also an on-going debate about the ethics of manipulating nature to such a degree. Making sense of the issues involves looking at the facts, studying the statistics, examining the laws, and listening to views on all sides of the debate. It also means asking tough questions: * Does an individual actually own their DNA? * Is animal experimentation worthwhile if it potentially saves human lives? * Is genetic engineering `Playing God'? * Are there health risks to eating genetically modified foods? To answer these questions, this book looks at the history and use of genetic engineering, as well as regulatory laws and court cases. It provides the opinions and perspectives of scientists, ecologists, corporate interests, religious leaders, politicians and professors on all sides of the issue. It also presents the experiences of people directly affected by genetic engineering, such as researchers, farmers, and patients receiving gene therapy. Supplemented with quotes, anecdotes, and discussions from the pages of USA Today, The Nation's # 1 Newspaper, this book will broaden your understanding of all sides of the issue and help you form your own opinion, either for or against genetic engineering. ...

Great Product and Reliable Seller!
The product is great, the book is in the condition the seller said it would be, and the shipping was fast!

If taking Genetics, a MUST
I HIGHLY recommend buying this manual in conjunction with the book- it explains enough for you to figure out whatever problems/concept you need to get down before a test!

Hope you don't actually need what you buy from this seller!
When buying from this seller, I hope you don't actually need what you are ordering. I placed an order on August 24 and it was due to arrive between Aug. 27-Sept. 3. I contacted the seller on Sept. 4 and she hadn't even shipped the package yet. The package should have arrived before it was even shipped! This was particularly a problem since I needed the item and it wasn't going to be in for another few days.HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!

Classic Text, Still The Best
This book will teach you all the genetics you need as an undergraduate and even into grad school. It's been around for decades.

Not bad.
I bought this as kind of a supplemental book for some MCAT studies.The first couple chapters covered 95% of the genetics stuff I saw on the real test, though to be honest I didn't really put that much effort into studying this or answering the questions about this stuff.Check this out at the library, read a couple of the chapters then throw it away or, if you are feeling generous, take it back to the library. Whatever.I don't care either way.

Very Good, Helped me a lot!
I think that anyone taking Genetics, studying for MCATS, DATs should buy this book.It is very cheap and helped me understand a lot of the material.My teacher used a lot of the questions from this book - on the exam!! Does not hurt to practice.

Outstanding volume of essays
I agree with Doc Dave in his earlier review that this is in many ways a better text than the standard ones out there. It's clearer, more concise, covers the advanced topics quite well considering its brevity, and as the Doc says, it's a fraction of the price of the actual texts.

I used this book to get thru a genetics course many years ago, and it was worth ten times the price I paid for it. It explained the concepts better than either the professor I had, or his T.A., who had graduated from U.C. Berkeley.

The presentation of classical genetics is the best I know of. You can find explanations of the molecular aspects that are probably as good, but for the classical stuff, and the coverage of the mathematical problems that derive from that approach, this is the best book I've ever seen.

I've used Schaum's outlines for a number of difficult subjects over the years, including electrical circuits and electronics, digital electronics and theory, genetics, differential equations, biochemistry, and applied statistics. They continue to be the best aids outside the classroom itself for the more difficult subject areas.

Product Description
Written by four internationally renowned bioethicists, From Chance to Choice is the first systematic treatment of the fundamental ethical issues underlying the application of genetic technologies to human beings. Probing the implications of the remarkable advances in genetics, the authors ask how should these affect our understanding of distributive justice, equality of opportunity, the rights and obligations as parents, the meaning of disability, and the role of the concept of human nature in ethical theory and practice. The book offers a historical context to contemporary debate over the use of these technologies by examining the eugenics movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In addition, appendices explain the nature of genetic causation, gene-environment interaction, and expose widespread misconceptions of genetic determinism, as well as outlining the nature of the ethical analysis used in the book. The questions raised in this book will be of interest to any reflective reader concerned about science and society and the rapid development of biotechnology, as well as to professionals in such areas as philosophy, bioethics, medical ethics, health management, law, and political science. ...

An excellent account of how eugenics has gone from being seen as an evil to being acceptable
This book is dense and intellectually rigorous. It allows the reader to understand the history of eugenics - how the concept has been shaped and used by many different people and many different agendas over the last two hundred years. My only concern is that it lacks an understanding of the implications of genetic screening and enhancement in the real lived world - that while it may argue there a few ethical and "justice" hurdles in the way of using the knowledge gained from the study of genetics - it does not account for how such changes would impact the lives of real people. It is worth reading however because it demonstrates how easily we have come to accept the ideas put forward by geneticists as to the benefits of genetic screening and illustrates the assumptions many geneticists make about the lives of people disability. That is that many (not all) but many are better off not lived. And that the emphasis should be on prevention rather than cure.

The best book for understanding egalitarian eugenics.
Every person born is a highly probabilistic creature, having been randomly put together by a chance selection from twenty-three chromosomes from each parent.The combinatorial variation is remarkable even in extremely homogeneous populations, and even more so in multicultural populations where there are great disparities in the average abilities of different groups.Blacks excel in sports of speed leading to their total dominance in professional sports.Jews excel in verbal intelligence leading totheir remarkable dominance in law, academics, politics, and the media.And other groups fall in between these group-based genetic differences.However, it is evident throughout this book that these issues will not be dealt with honestly and directly.They will be tip-toed around, especially intelligence.

This book ignores the more communitarian morality of Asian countries and/or western particularistic moral theories.They do take it up in Appendix II, "Methodology."There they state simply that a communitarian moral theory only exists as a condemnation of liberalism -- it does not attempt to put forth its owncommunitarian moral theory as rigorously as has been put forth by liberalism or a Rawlsian theory.Notice the irony here, that the same charge can be made against those (Gould, Lewontin, Rose, Kamin, et al.) who claim that there is no difference in the average intelligence of races or that genes do not matter. They also, like the communitarian moralists, have only attacked empiricists who have developed sociobiology and intelligence as genetically based.So now we have the kettle calling the stove black.

These authors are concerned that society will become more stratified with regards to genetic capital by various groups. That is, the well-to-do will be able to use genetic engineering to eliminate unwanted genes as well as enhance their children's potential by inserting new "improved" genes into their genetic code -- including altering the germ line genes that willbe carried on to successive generations.Is this a fair criticism?Not really, because this is how evolution progresses and it has already occurred as I stated above. Groups, because of breeding are not the same. Again, using the example of Ashkenazi Jews or east Asians who dominate the economies of south Asian countries, multiculturalist societies are already made up of groups who are not equal.Ashkenazi Jews have and average IQ of 117 and live among populations with an average IQ of 100. Malaysians have an average IQ of 90 with a troublesome east Asian minority, that will not assimilate, and has an average IQ of about 106 that dominates the economy.Australians have a troublesome minority of aborigines with a low IQ. These and many other examples show that there is nothing new about some groups eugenically rising above other groups, in terms of intelligence at least.But now that we have new tools at our disposal, those of us who would like to acquire the high intelligence of Ashkenazi Jews for example are told that it is somehow unjust!

Ethics, Eugenics and the human genome
This book addresses all of the neccessary details of the social ramafications involved with our knowledge of the human genome.In this book, the heart wrenching accounts of America's eugenic movement arepowerful enough to move anyone to become actively involved in the issues athand.A real eye opener, one which makes it painstakingly clear that weare not prepared to deal with the information that we have aquired aboutourselves and eachother.

Interpreting Chance to Choice for the Average Joe?
I would like to suggest that this book is a landmark in the intellectual history of the human race on a par with Rousseau's Social Contract andDarwin's Origin of the Species. This book is a great achievement for theauthors (a "dream team" of practicing bioethicists).I had justenough training in ethics (B.A. Michigan 1982) to understand the book and Ienjoyed it immensely.

I wonder, however, whether this book wouldprobably be inaccessible to many readers who should read it.I expect wewill need a really thorough set of "Cliff Notes" (or"Genomic Ethics for Dummies"), since this book seems designed tobe read by the modern ethical philosopher, moreso than the educated membersof the public.Perhaps the reviewers on Amazon.com could provide such aservice for the world.I was fortunate to have an advance peek at the bookthrough a conference held in San Diego in January, so I have had some timeto reflect on the book's implications.

This book made me intrigued aboutthe prospect for some people using the genome to have better babies (seethe book on Designer Babies by Dr. Gosden for the "how to" on invitro fertilization). Under secular ethical principles, as outlined in thisbook, do parents have an ethical obligation to use genomic information tohave a "healthier" child?If so, what are the ethical boundariesof that obligation?NPR had a report some time ago about someachondroplastic dwarf parents who wanted to choose a child with theirgenetic "defect" --- is that sometime ethically prohibited by theprinciples in this book?The parental choice issues raised by this bookstrike me as the issue ripe for controversy.These are the fundamentalquestions that this book raises for every member of the human race whoplans to procreate (or already has procreated).

My kids will be enteringthe first generation where prospects for improving admission to thearistocracy (e.g. to an Ivy League school) arguably could begin at themoment of conception (if in vitro, aided by genomic data to screenembryoes). I find that interesting and a little bit alarming.

Chance toChoice also addresses myriad ethical issues (those relating to"distributive justice" in the mode of John Rawls' Theory ofJustice) that will spin off from the genome project.They suggest thatgenetic discrimination (the "genetic ghetto") may arise if we arenot careful about how this information is used.

For anyone planning tomake a living from the genome, some understanding of this book is essentialto their success in business (I am an attorney involved in biotechissuesand I think that this book point to (but does not map out) the boundariesof what companies can do with the genome).

My EMail istredick@chapinlaw.com if anyone interested in discussing this book'simplications further. I think that people will be talking about this oneuntil the talking, bipedal genetically enhanced, vegetarian activist cowscome home sometime in the next hundred years (just kidding...;).

I planto buy some extra copies on Amazon.com to give away or mark up withhighlighters (those parts I need to read many times to really understand).It really is a great and timely book.

This is a fascinating book that will keep the reader mesmerized at many of the stories and mysteries inside!
Hatshepsut was a no nonsense queen in ancient Egypt who ruled for 22 years. She was an unusual woman in that day and age who looked and even dressed like a man.When she died, she simply seemed to disappear from the face of the Earth as all trace of her was erased by her successor.The discovery of a large mummy was discovered in 1903, but it wasn't until 2007 that scientists took a much closer look at it.Perhaps Hatshepsut had been found, but the only way to find out was through the use of DNA.There was a lone tooth in "a special box holding the organs" that was "placed in the tomb with the mummy."Was this the key to finding the lost Hatshesput?

In this book you will learn about chromosomes and DNA, how DNA can tell us about the past, how "genetics will bring new, better ways to clean up pollution," how plants can be used to "clean up polluted environments" like Chernobyl, how scientists are inserting animal genes into plants, genetically modified (GM) crops, how scientists have "found the key to long life in roundworms," how genes determine our inherited traits, how "wildlife crime investigators can link DNA evidence" to animals (endangered species), animal DNA databases, how Dyan Straughan figured out what kind of mysterious animal was killing off sheep, how DNA links the crime to the criminal and much more!

This is a fascinating book that will keep the reader mesmerized at many of the stories and mysteries inside.The book grips the reader from the very first two pages with a photograph of Queen Hatshepsut's mummy filling the background.There are numerous sidebars, amazing photographs and illustrations.In the back of the book is an index, a glossary, and additional recommended book, article and web site resources.Do you think that kittens born to African wildcat clones are weird looking?You can judge for yourself because there is a picture of some in this book! ...

Product Description
Authoritative coverage of a revolutionary technique for overcoming problems in electromagnetic design Genetic algorithms are stochastic search procedures modeled on the Darwinian concepts of natural selection and evolution. The machinery of genetic algorithms utilizes an optimization methodology that allows a global search of the cost surface via statistical random processes dictated by the Darwinian evolutionary concept. These easily programmed and readily implemented procedures robustly locate extrema of highly multimodal functions and therefore are particularly well suited to finding solutions to a broad range of electromagnetic optimization problems. Electromagnetic Optimization by Genetic Algorithms is the first book devoted exclusively to the application of genetic algorithms to electromagnetic device design. Compiled by two highly competent and well-respected members of the electromagnetics community, this book describes numerous applications of genetic algorithms to the design and optimization of various low- and high-frequency electromagnetic components. Special features include:
* Introduction by David E. Goldberg, "A Meditation on the Application of Genetic Algorithms"
* Design of linear and planar arrays using genetic algorithms
* Application of genetic algorithms to the design of broadband, wire, and integrated antennas
* Genetic algorithm-driven design of dielectric gratings and frequency-selective surfaces
* Synthesis of magnetostatic devices using genetic algorithms
* Application of genetic algorithms to multiobjective electromagnetic backscattering optimization
* A comprehensive list of the up-to-date references applicable to electromagnetic design problems
Supplemented with more than 250 illustrations, Electromagnetic Optimization by Genetic Algorithms is a powerful resource for electrical engineers interested in modern electromagnetic designs and an indispensable reference for university researchers. ... Read more

Great Book - Agree With Other Reviews
This book does live up to the expectations I had. The first three chapters are a very solid introduction to genetic algorithms. It also goes into variations that lets one overcome some of the 'stagnation' that can occur in GAs.

The rest of the book does dive into applying GAs to EM applications.They have a very good introduction of the motivation, problems encountered and how it was resolved.No code is available, but many have already written GAs in many programming languages.

Book assumes some knowledge in math (~calculus) and electrical engineering (my background is in physics, but it didn't handicap me).A must for anyone interested in EM design while integrating GAs or for anyone interested in applying GAs to their engineering problems.

A Good Resource
This book is well worth the price I paid for it.

It is a good book for engineers looking for practical information on genetic algorithms.The book assumes familiarity with electromagnetic theory, practical problems,and current simulation techniques.

The first three introductory chaptersare solid, and universally applicable.They are a beginning overview ofgenetic algorithms, a more serious treatment describing pitfalls andvariant techniques, and finally some rules of thumb for using thetechniques.

The following chapters are detailed treatments of theapplication of genetic algorithms to real problems.Seven chapters aredevoted to various types of antennas and antenna arrays.Additionalchapters cover specific devices, such as electromagnetic filters,diffraction gratings, backscattering problems and magnetostaticdevices.

This book will not teach you how to write genetic algorithmcodes line by line.This book will not go into extreme depths about thetheoretical limits and performance of genetic algorithms (where given,these details are not derived, simply given and explained.)There are anynumber of computer science and programming books which do that.

This isan engineering book: it will give many implementation details on practicalproblems, along with the results. ... Read more

Product Description
Talk of genetically engineered organisms (GEOs) has moved from the hushed corridors of life science corporations to the front pages of the world's major newspapers. As Europeans began rejecting genetically engineered foods in the marketplace, the StarLink corn incident exploded in the United States and farmers set fire to genetically modified crops in India. Citizens and consumers have become increasingly aware of and troubled by the issues surrounding these new technologies. Considering cases from agriculture, food, forestry, and pharmaceuticals, this book examines some of the most pressing questions raised by genetic engineering. What determines whether GEOs enter the food supply, and how are such decisions being made? How is the biotechnology industry using its power to reshape food, fiber, and pharmaceutical production, and how are citizen-activists challenging these initiatives? And what are the social and political consequences of global differences over GEOs? ... Read more

About the link between genetics, genetic programs and ethics
Genetic Turning Points provides an important link between genetics, genetic programs and ethics, examining the new choices and questions which arise through company interactions with humans. From clinical implications to the technology involved, this is written by a lay reader for lay readers and assumes no prior scientific grounding.

Clear Thinking on Genetic Ethics
In the past few decades the advances in bio-technology and genetics have been astounding. The scientific and technical breakthroughs have far out-stripped our ability to consider their ethical ramifications. The developments in the Human Genome project alone are raising many legal, ethical and social issues that need to be carefully thought through.

A number of books have appeared recently which examine these new developments, and their impact of society. One of the newest and most helpful discussions to date is this volume. Peterson has the advantage of not only having a PhD in ethics, but of having worked as a researcher in molecular and clinical genetics. So he knows about both worlds, and is able to deftly bring the two together in this incisive and comprehensive volume.

Writing from a Christian perspective, Peterson is able to discuss in detail the intricacies of genetic engineering without bogging the reader down in an overly technical fashion. He examines a number of the controversial issues: genetic testing, genetic screening, genetic surgery, genetic patents, genetic drugs, and genetic manipulation. While acknowledging the tremendous potential for good that the new genetic frontiers can offer, he is also keenly aware of the potential dangers and pitfalls.

Any one of these issues could warrant a whole book. Take the issue of genetic surgery. Many ethical questions are raised here. What exactly is a person? When we alter the physical attributes of a person, do we alter the person? Are we in fact creating people when we use genetic surgery? Could genetic surgery extend to behavioural issues as well? Peterson does a more than adequate job of laying out the issues and options, keeping the reader informed of the latest in scientific and ethical thinking on the debate.

Indeed, all the latest topics for debate are carefully examined: the Human Genome Project, the possibility of human cloning, and debates about human germline intervention versus somatic cell intervention. And all of this discussion avoids any kind of reductionism, whereby humans are reduced to their genetic make-up. The more we learn about genetics, the more we see their importance. But in spite of their importance, we also know that we are more than our genes. That is where philosophy and theology come in. Science by itself can only give us part of the picture. We need the bigger picture provided by religion and ethics.

Thus the value of this book.Conversant with the latest medical and bio-medical trends and practices, he is also well-versed in the Christian literature - both Catholic and Protestant. He does an admirable job of bringing these two streams together. This is a real advantage in an age where we tend to have either technical experts with no or little moral understanding, or ethical experts with no or little scientific and biological understanding. Such important issues are ill-served when either component is neglected or omitted.

While both components are nicely wedded in this volume, his conclusions on some matters - such as aspects of IVF - may not necessarily please everyone. And on some issues - for example, when does human life begin? - he carefully lays out the options without fully committing himself (although his sympathies do seem to lie with respect for life from conception). But readers can learn much both of the world of genetics and the realm of religion and ethics in this lively and informed book.

The genetic revolution will not go away. It is important that we all become as informed as possible on the issues involved. The way ahead is uncertain. As Peterson makes clear, the new revolution in genetics can be helpful if we are very careful. But there is a dark side to this development which must be eyed carefully. His final admonitions are worth mentioning: "Genetics does not so much make us automatically better as it can make us more capable. Genetic intervention, like many technologies, frees us from some constraints and increases our abilities and choices. Pursued as an end in itself it is at best a distraction, and when all-consuming, idolatry. If all we manage to do is relieve physical suffering and to control our physical world in the finest degree, our potential will be wasted."

In the end, the way the genetic revolution transforms life will in large measure be determined by how we, as informed citizens, keep the whole process in check. Run-away technology is always a danger. But new developments in bio-technology can be a blessing as well. Thus it is imperative that we all become as conversant with the issues as possible. Reading this book is a good place to begin. ... Read more
