Series Statement: Purdue studies in public policy

Content: "In this book, nine thought-leaders engage with some of the hottest moral issues in science and ethics. Based on talks originally given at the annual "Purdue Lectures in Ethics, Policy, and Science," the chapters explore interconnections between the three areas in an engaging and accessible way. Addressing a mixed public audience, the authors go beyond dry theory to explore some of the difficult moral questions that face scientists and policy-makers every day. The introduction presents a theoretical framework for the book, defining the term "bioethics" as extending well beyond human well-being to wider relations between humans, nonhuman animals, the environment, and biotechnologies. Three sections then explore the complex relationship between moral value, scientific knowledge, and policy making. The first section starts with thoughts on nonhuman animal pain and moves to a discussion of animal understanding. The second section explores climate change and the impact of "green" nanotechnology on environmental concerns. The final section begins with dialog about ethical issues in nanotechnology, moves to an exploration of bio-banks (a technology with broad potential medical and environmental impact), and ends with a survey of the impact of biotechnologies on (synthetic) life itself"--

Content: It is important that scientists think about and know their history - where they came from, what they have accomplished, and how these may affect the future. Weed scientists, similar to scientists in many technological disciplines, have not sought historical reflection. The technological world asks for results and for progress. Achievement is important not, in general, the road that leads to achievement. What was new yesterday is routine today, and what is described as revolutionary today may be considered antiquated tomorrow. Weed science has been strongly influenced by technology de

Uniform Title: Washington Square

Content: Der erstmals 1881 erschienene und in Neuübersetzung vorliegende Roman Henry James' (zuletzt ID-A 15/13) handelt von einem Arzt, der in der 1. Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts nach dem Tod seiner Frau mit seiner Tochter Catherine und seiner Schwester, einer realitätsfremden Witwe, in New York lebt. Im Gegensatz zu seiner angebeteten Ehefrau erscheint ihm Catherine ungebildet und einfach gestrickt, hässlich und plump. Enttäuscht zieht er sich von ihr zurück und bis auf emotionslose Höflichkeitsfloskeln voller Sarkasmus spricht er kaum mit seiner Tochter. Das ändert sich, als Catherine den jungen Lebemann Morris, der außer Charme und Redegewandtheit nichts besitzt, heiraten möchte. Der Arzt verhält sich verantwortlich, wenn auch weiterhin überheblich und kalt, und verbietet nach gründlicher Prüfung Morris' die Heirat in der Überzeugung, dass Morris ein Mitgiftjäger ist. Doch Catherine ist fest entschlossen, sich zum 1. Mal dem Willen ihres von ihr bewunderten Vaters zu widersetzen. Mit genau beschriebenen Charakteren, die doch schwer einzuordnen sind, meisterhaft und voller Ironie erzählt. Breit zu empfehlen.

Content: Der überhebliche und gefühlskalte New Yorker Arzt und Witwer Sloper versucht zu verhindern, dass seine Tochter Catherine, in der er das Gegenteil seiner reizenden verstorbenen Frau sieht, den charmanten, aber mittellosen Lebemann Morris heiratet, den Slopers realitätsfremde Schwester unterstützt.

Content: No previous author has attempted a book such as this: a complete history of novels written in the English language, from the genre's seventeenth-century origins to the present day. In the spirit of Dr. Johnson's Lives of the Poets, acclaimed critic and scholar John Sutherland selects 294 writers whose works illustrate the best of every kind of fiction--from gothic, penny dreadful, and pornography to fantasy, romance, and high literature. Each author was chosen, Professor Sutherland explains, because his or her books are well worth reading and are likely to remain so for at least another century. Sutherland presents these authors in chronological order, in each case deftly combining a lively and informative biographical sketch with an opinionated assessment of the writer's work. Taken together, these novelists provide both a history of the novel and a guide to its rich variety. Always entertaining, and sometimes shocking, Sutherland considers writers as diverse as Daniel Defoe, Henry James, James Joyce, Edgar Allan Poe, Virginia Woolf, Michael Crichton, Jeffrey Archer, and Jacqueline Susann.

Series Statement: Cambridge library collection. Travel and exploration

Content: Born in Hamburg, Henry (Heinrich) Barth (1821-1865) studied history, archaeology, geography and Arabic. He joined James Richardson's 1849 expedition to Africa, which aimed to open the interior to trade and to study slavery. Following the deaths of Richardson (1851) and his colleague Overweg (1852), Barth led the expedition alone. His travels extended to Lake Chad in the east, Cameroon in the south and Timbuktu in the west. He was the first European to use the oral traditions of the local tribes for historical research, learning several African languages, and studying the history, resources and civilisations of the people he encountered. Barth's five-volume account includes plates, engravings and detailed annotated maps. Published in both English and German in 1857-1858, it is still regarded as a major source on African culture. Volume 1 covers the expedition's journey from Tunis to present-day Niger, and includes descriptions of Roman ruins in Libya.

Content: "As an American author who chose to live in Europe, Henry James frequently wrote about cultural differences between the Old and New World. The plight of bewildered Americans adrift on a sea of European sophistication became a regular theme in his fiction. This collection of twenty-four papers from some of the worlds leading James scholars offers a comprehensive picture of the authors cross-cultural aesthetics. It provides detailed analyses of James's perception of Europe -- of its people and places, its history and culture, its artists and thinkers, its aesthetics and its ethics -- which ultimately lead to a profound re-evaluation of his writing"--Publisher's description.
