    • 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.

    • An important and timely message about the biological roots ofhuman kindness. —Desmond Morris, author of The Naked Ape Are we our brothers' keepers? Do we have aninstinct for compassion? Or are we, as is often assumed, only onearth to serve our own survival and interests? In thisthought-provoking book, the acclaimed author of Our Inner Apeexamines how empathy comes naturally to a great variety of animals,including humans. By studying social behaviors in animals, such asbonding, the herd instinct, the forming of trusting alliances,expressions of consolation, and conflict resolution, Frans de Waaldemonstrates that animals–and humans–are "preprogrammed to reachout." He has found that chimpanzees care for mates that are woundedby leopards, elephants offer "reassuring rumbles" to youngsters indistress, and dolphins support sick companions near the water'ssurface to prevent them from drowning. From day one humans haveinnate sensitivities to faces, bodies, and voices; we've beendesigned to feel for one

    • Ellen F. Davis 著 /2008-10-01/ Cambridge University Press
    • This book examines the theology and ethics of land use,especially the practices of modern industrialized agriculture, inlight of critical biblical exegesis. Nine interrelated essaysexplore the biblical writers' pervasive concern for the care ofarable land against the background of the geography, socialstructures, and religious thought of ancient Israel. This approachconsistently brings out neglected aspects of texts, both poetry andprose, that are central to Jewish and Christian traditions. Ratherthan seeking solutions from the past, Davis creates a conversationbetween ancient texts and contemporary agrarian writers; thus sheprovides a fresh perspective from which to view the destructivepractices and assumptions that now dominate the global foodeconomy. The biblical exegesis is wide-ranging and sophisticated;the language is literate and accessible to a broad audience.

    • People decide about political parties by taking into accountthe preferences, values, expectations, and perceptions of theirfamily, friends, colleagues, and neighbours. As most people livewith others, members of their households influence each other'spolitical decisions. How and what they think about politics andwhat they do are the outcomes of social processes. Applying variedstatistical models to data from extensive German and Britishhousehold surveys, this book shows that wives and husbandsinfluence each other; young adults influence their parents,especially their mothers. Wives and mothers sit at the centre ofhouseholds: their partisanship influences the partisanship ofeveryone else, and the others affect them. Politics in householdsinteracts with competition among the political parties to sustainbounded partisanship. People ignore one of the major parties andvary their preference of its major rival over time. Electioncampaigns reinforce these choices.

    • The late Carl Rogers, founder of the humanistic psychologymovement, revolutionized psychotherapy with his concept of"client-centered therapy." His influence has spanned decades, butthat influence has become so much a part of mainstream psychologythat the ingenious nature of his work has almost been forgotten. Anew introduction by Peter Kramer sheds light on the significance ofDr. Rogers's work today. New discoveries in the field ofpsychopharmacology, especially that of the antidepressant Prozac,have spawned a quick-fix drug revolution that has obscured thepsychotherapeutic relationship. As the pendulum slowly swings backtoward an appreciation of the therapeutic encounter, Dr. Rogers's"client-centered therapy" becomes particularly timely andimportant.
