This highly interdisciplinary book highlights many of the waysin which chemistry plays a crucial role in making life anevolutionary possibility in the universe. Cosmologists and particlephysicists have often explored how the observed laws and constantsof nature lie within a narrow range that allows complexity and lifeto evolve and adapt. Here, these anthropic considerations arediversified in a host of new ways to identify the most sensitivefeatures of biochemistry and astrobiology. Celebrating the classic1913 work of Lawrence J. Henderson, The Fitness of the Environmentfor Life, this book looks at the delicate balance between chemistryand the ambient conditions in the universe that permit complexchemical networks and structures to exist. It will appeal to abroad range of scientists, academics, and others interested in theorigin and existence of life in our universe.
It Takes a Candidate serves as the first systematic, nationwideempirical account of the manner in which gender affects politicalambition. Based on data from the Citizen Political Ambition Study,a national survey conducted on almost 3,800 'potential candidates',we find that women, even in the highest tiers of professionalaccomplishment, are substantially less likely than men todemonstrate ambition to seek elected office. Women are less likelythan men to be recruited to run for office. They are less likelythan men to think they are 'qualified' to run for office. And theyare less likely than men to express a willingness to run for officein the future. This gender gap in political ambition persistsacross generations. Despite cultural evolution and society'schanging attitudes toward women in politics, running for publicoffice remains a much less attractive and feasible endeavor forwomen than men.
