    Abstract: In general, the history of virtue theory is well-documented (Sherman, 1997; O’Neill, 1996). Its relationship to medicine is also recorded in our work and in that of others (Pellegrino and Thomasma, 1993b; 1996; Drane, 1994; Ellos, 1990). General publications stress the importance of training the young in virtuous practices. Still, the popularity of education in virtue is widely viewed as part of a conservative backlash to modern liberal society. Given the authorship of some of these works by professional conservatives like William Bennett (1993; 1995), this concern is authentic. One might correspondingly fear that greater adoption of virtue theory in medicine will be accompanied by a corresponding backward-looking social agenda. Worse yet, does reaffirmation of virtue theory lacquer over the many challenges of the postmodern world view as if these were not serious concerns? After all, recreating the past is the “retro” temptation of our times. Searching for greater certitude than we can now obtain preoccupies most thinkers today. One wishes for the old clarity and certitudes (Engelhardt, 1991). On the other hand, the same thinkers who yearn for the past, like Engelhardt sometimes seems to do, might stress the unyielding gulf between past and present that creates the postmodern reaction to all systems of Enlightenment thought (1996).

    Abstract: AIDS, Ebola und abstürzende Computer; Fremdkörper, Parasiten und Sleeper; Bio- und Cyberterrorismus, Tierseuchen und zuletzt SARS: Viren zirkulieren derzeit in verschiedensten Bereichen. Dabei erweist sich die Metaphorik des Wortes als ebenso grenzgängerisch und mutierend wie die konkreten Objekte. Sie wird bemüht, um Bedrohungsszenarien und grenzsichernde Maßnahmen durchzusetzen und dient gleichzeitig als Modell für Widerstand und subversive Selbstinszenierungen. Kein Zufall, dass sich die jüngste Mediendebatte um terroristische Gewalt erneut in diesen Mustern verfangen hat. Der Band »VIRUS!« untersucht die Auswirkungen der Bilder von riskanten Kontakten, Ansteckung und Unterwanderung - nicht nur auf die Herstellung der »harten Fakten« in Naturwissenschaften und Technik, sondern auch auf die Gestaltung der globalen Weltordnung

    Abstract: Die Entwicklung und Akzeptanz genetischer Konzepte der 1920er und 30er Jahre waren durch rassen- und geschlechterpolitische Prämissen bestimmt. Deutlich wird dies in der Gegenüberstellung der wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten von Fritz Lenz und Richard Goldschmidt, führender Genetiker am Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut für Biologie und 1936 zur Emigration gezwungen. Der Rassenhygieniker Lenz vertrat das Ideal einer streng dichotomen Geschlechterordnung als Teil völkischer Überlegenheitsansprüche der Nordischen Rasse und der Forderung nach Rassenreinheit. Dagegen war die Vorstellung von einer Kontinuität zwischen zwei Geschlechtern Teil einer politischen Agenda, in der Rassenzugehörigkeit und -reinheit nicht als soziales Ordnungskriterium fungierten. Zu diesem politischen Konflikt gehörten zwei alternative genetische Konzepte. Die US-amerikanische Schule um Thomas Hunt Morgan lieferte Lenz ein Konzept eindeutiger Gene für eine biologisch begründete Rassen- und Geschlechterdifferenz. Goldschmidts Konzept tat dies nicht. Es war anhand der Vererbung und Ausbildung des Geschlechts mittels Kreuzung verschiedener geographischer Populationen von Insekten entwickelt. Diese „Rassenkreuzungen“ ergaben „intersexuelle“ Tiere mit uneindeutigem Geschlecht und dienten Lenz als Beweis, daß „Rassenmischung“ beim Menschen zu Degeneration führe, da sie die Geschlechterdifferenz verwische. Im Konflikt um die beiden Genkonzepte waren Rasse und Geschlecht keine analogen Kategorien zur Klassifikation von Menschen, sondern bedingten sich gegenseitig. Die Wahl des Genkonzepts war mit dem politischen Ziel verbunden: Rassen- und Geschlechterhierarchie oder liberale Koexistenz verschiedener Menschen ohne rassistische Trennungslinien.

    Abstract: Hinter dem Titel des Bandes verbirgt sich mehr als bloß die Analyse von Aphrodisiaka oder Potenzmitteln. Großhirnrinde, Hypophyse oder körpereigene Opiate: Sie alle sind beteiligt, wenn Verliebte sich küssen oder ein junger Mann seinem ersten Rendezvous entgegenfiebert. Dieses unterhaltsame Buch wirft einen Blick hinter die molekularen Kulissen des aufregendsten aller Gefühle. Die Liebe schlägt nicht nur Verliebte in ihren Bann. Dass auch Chemiker manch faszinierende Erkenntnis zu diesem Phänomen vermitteln können, belegt dieses Buch eindrucksvoll. Ihren wissenschaftlichen Streifzug durch Amors Reich beginnt das Autorenduo (das übrigens auch ein Autorenpaar ist) mit einer Geschichte: Zwei Verliebte treffen sich wieder, nachdem sie sich eine Weile nicht gesehen haben. Was geschieht in ihren Köpfen? Wie lassen sich ihre Verhaltensweisen und Reaktionen chemisch beschreiben? Im Anschluss widmen sich die beiden Wissenschaftsjournalisten ausführlich der 'Mentalität' der Liebe: Sie gehen der Frage nach, wie sie im menschlichen Gehirn repräsentiert wird. Auch den 'Dialog der Düfte' entschlüsseln sie und fragen nach den physiologischen Hintergründen von Zärtlichkeit und Treue. Sie erklären, wie Moleküle unsere Emotionen steuern, und belegen, dass sich Verliebte wirklich gut 'riechen' können. Nicht nur Chemiker dürfte interessieren, was das Buch über die 'Wirkstoffe der Liebe' zu berichten weiß. Mal ergründet es die Funktionsweise körpereigener Opiate, dann wenden sich die Autoren den Aphrodisiaka zu oder referieren den Stand der Dinge in Sachen Potenzmittel. Die Fortsetzung der kleinen Liebesgeschichte vom Anfang sowie ein Sach- und Personenregister beschließen den Band.

    Abstract: As biotechnology defines the new millennium, genetic codes and computer codes increasingly merge-life understood as data, flesh rendered programmable. Where this trend will take us, and what it might mean, is what concerns Eugene Thacker in this timely book, a penetrating look into the intersection of molecular biology and computer science in our day and its likely ramifications for the future.

    Abstract: Many medical authorities predict that average life expectancy could well exceed 100 years by mid century and rise even higher soon thereafter. This astonishing prospect, brought on by the revolution in molecular biology and information technology, confronts policymakers and public health officials with a host of new questions. How will increased longevity affect local and global demographic trends, government taxation and spending, health care, the workplace, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid? What ethical and quality-of-life issues are raised by these new breakthroughs? In Coping with Methuselah, a group of practicing scientists and public policy experts come together to address the problems, challenges, and opportunities posed by a longer life span. This book will generate discussion in political, social, and medical circles and help prepare us for the extraordinary possibilities that the future may hold.

    Abstract: Main description: Georg Forster (1754-1794) hat in seiner berühmten »Reise um die Welt« sowie in den Aufsätzen »Noch etwas über die Menschenraßen« und »Leitfaden zu einer künftigen Geschichte der Menschheit« kenntnisreich und engagiert zu den zentralen Streitfragen der physischen Anthropologie Stellung bezogen. Die vorliegende Untersuchung macht in einer quellenbezogenen Rekonstruktion erstmalig den wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen Anspielungs- und Diskussionshorizont dieser Texte sichtbar und zeigt, wie Forster sich im Spannungsfeld der einschlägigen Debatten und Kontroversen positioniert: Die geplante »neue Anthropologie« hat er nie geschrieben - in ihren Grundlinien wird sie hier dennoch erkennbar.
    Abstract: Main description: In his famous »Voyage Round the World«, and also in his essays »More on the Human Races and Outline for a Future History of Mankind«, Georg Forster (1754-1794) took a knowledgeable and committed stand on the central controversies of physical anthropology. In the form of a source-related reconstruction, the present study is the first to point up the allusions and references to the scientific discussion of the day to be found in these texts, and indicates Forster's position in the context of the relevant debates and controversies. Though he did not live to write the 〉new anthropology〈 that he was planning, its basic outline thus becomes discernible.

    Abstract: Nineteenth-century French scholars, during a turbulent era of revolution and industrialization, ranked intelligence and character according to facial profile, skin colour, and head shape. They believed that such indicators could determine whether individuals were educable and peoples perfectible. In Labeling People Martin Staum examines the Paris societies of phrenology (reading intelligence and character by head shapes), geography, and ethnology and their techniques for classifying people. He shows how the work of these social scientists gave credence to the arrangement of "races" in a hierarchy, the domination of non-European peoples, and the limitation of opportunities for ill-favored individuals within France.

    Abstract: This book is a collection of papers from the OECD meeting on Agri-biodiversity Indicators held jointly with the EU and international organisations in November 2001, in Zurich-Rechkenhols, Switzerland. A key outcome was to establish a common agri-biodiversity framework that helps understand the complexity of agri-biodiversity linkages. Papers cover the following topics; agricultural genetic resources, wild species, ecosytems, linking habitats to species and an overview of agri-biodiversity indicators. It includes a set of recommendations to OECD with respect to agri-biodiversity.

    Abstract: The idea of a family level society, discussed and disputed by anthropologists for nearly half a century, assumes moving, breathing form in Families of the Forest. According to Allen Johnson's deft ethnography, the Matsigenka people of southeastern Peru cannot be understood or appreciated except as a family level society; the family level of sociocultural integration is for them a lived reality. Under ordinary circumstances, the largest social units are individual households or small extended-family hamlets. In the absence of such "tribal" features as villages, territorial defense and warfare

    Abstract: Evolution, Order and Complexity reflects topical interest in the relationship between the social and natural worlds. It represents the cutting edge of current thinking which challenges the natural/social dichotomy thesis by showing how the application of ideas which derive from biology can be applied and offer insight into the social realm. This is done by introducing the general system theory to the methodological debate on the relation of human and natural sciences.

    Abstract: This book provides a comprehensive analysis of household consumption patterns in five key areas: food, tourism-related travel, energy, water and waste generation. It brings together the various elements of household consumption that are necessary to better understand consumption trends and to identify the best policy options towards sustainable consumption. These include data on household consumption trends and drivers, environmental impacts, policy responses and policy recommendations. The analysis shows that environmental impacts from household activities have worsened over the last three decades and are expected to intensify even more over the next twenty years, particularly in the areas of energy, transport and waste if strong and comprehensive policies are not implemented. The book provides a framework and outlines the objectives of policies to promote sustainable consumption. It analyses the effectiveness of different types of policy instruments (regulatory, economic, social) in influencing consumer decision-making, and identifies combinations of instruments for promoting more sustainable consumption.

    Abstract: All societies depend on biodiversity and biological resources, and policy-makers are increasingly aware that development pressures are today generating unprecedented rates of biodiversity loss. The fact that biodiversity issues often receive low priority in policy decisions is at least in part due to problems involved in assessing its contribution to society -- these values defy easy description and quantification. What cannot be quantified, or is difficult to monitor and evaluate, is easy to disregard. The result is that biodiversity fails to compete on a level playing field in policy decisions with the forces driving their decline. This Handbook describes the types of values usually associated with biodiversity. While there are exceptions to the need to prioritise economic values over other cultural, traditional and spiritual values, economic valuation has a sound theoretical foundation that can help clarify the tradeoffs implicit in public policy decisions. On the other hand, the Handbook recognises the limitations of the economic approach, and considers how economic and non-economic values can eventually be reconciled. The Handbook also reviews the various methodological approaches often used to quantify these values. Data requirements and limitations are discussed. These methodologies are then applied to a series of concrete policy contexts, ranging from land use planning to the determination of legal damages for environmental degradation.

Ten years after the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, it is time to ask: are OECD countries moving towards sustainable consumption? What are the best policy options to effectively promote sustainable consumption?. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of household consumption patterns in five key areas: food, tourism-related travel, energy, water and waste generation.

The fact that biodiversity issues often receive low priority in policy decisions is at least in part due to problems involved in assessing its contribution to society -- these values defy easy description and quantification. What cannot be quantified, or is difficult to monitor and evaluate, is easy to disregard. The result is that biodiversity fails to compete on a level playing field in policy decisio

    Abstract: Robert Trivers is a pioneering figure in the field of sociobiology. For Natural Selection and Social Theory, he has selected eleven of his most influential papers, including several classic papers from the early 1970s on the evolution of reciprocal altruism, parent-offspring conflicts, and asymmetry in sexual selection, which helped to establish the centrality of sociobiology, as well as some of his later work on deceit in signalling, sex antagonistic genes, and imprinting. Trivers introduces each paper, setting them in their contemporary context, and critically evaluating them in the light of

    Abstract: Many of the papers in this volume were first presented at the Third International Great Apes of the World Conference, held July 3-6, 1998 in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. The editors of this volume, the first in a two-volume series, are world renowned, having dedicated most of their lives to the study of great apes. The world's premiere primatologists, ethologists, and anthropologists present the most recent research on both captive and free-ranging African great apes. These scientists, through deep personal commitment and sacrifice, have expanded their knowledge of chimpanzees, bonobos, and gorillas. With forests disappearing, many of these studies will never be duplicated. This volume, and all in the Developments in Primatology book series, aim to broaden and deepen the understanding of this valuable cause

    Abstract: Die Forschung sah den Wandel von der additiven zur axialen Gartengestalt, wie er sich in den deutschen Territorien im ausgehenden 17. Jahrhundert vollzog, bislang vor allem unter stilgeschichtlichen Aspekten. Dabei gab es keine genauen Vorstellungen über die geänderte Funktion der zumeist höfischen Gärten. Diese Studie zeigt erstmals systematisch, wie die neue axiale Form mit einer anderen Nutzung durch den Hof einhergeht und bringt dies in Zusammenhang mit der Entwicklung von Residenz und Territorium: Bedeutete fürstliche 'recreatio' im frühen 17. Jahrhundert noch kontemplatives Versenken in das 'Buch der Natur', so entsteht mit den großräumigen axialen Gärten um 1700 eine neuartige Kultur der Zerstreuung (divertissements), die den Hof immer häufiger vor die Stadt oder weiter ins Land hinaus führt. Daher tragen die Gärten auch zu einer Erschließung des fürstlichen Territoriums bei. Ausgehend von bestimmten Prototypen (Idstein, Karlsaue Kassel, Furttenbachs Gärten u.a.) sowie garten- und zeremonialgeschichtlichen Begriffen klärt die Arbeit zunächst Faktoren des Stil- und Funktionswandels, um dann die 'Wanderungsbewegung' der Gärten rings um Dresden zu untersuchen. Die unterschiedlichen höfischen Gärten, die hier im Laufe eines Jahrhunderts für sich verändernde Repräsentations- und Nutzungsbedürfnisse entstanden, prägten letztlich durch die Medien der dort stattfindenden Feste die Vorstellung einer landschaftsbezogenen Stadt, wie sie für Dresden im späteren 18. Jahrhundert charakteristisch ist.

    Abstract: Was exchange an early agent of human evolution or is it merely an artefact of modern civilisation? Spanning two million years of human evolution, this book explores the impact of economics on human evolution and natural history. The theory of evolution by natural selection has always relied in part on progress in areas of science outside biology. By applying economic principles at the borderlines of biology, Haim Ofek shows how some of the outstanding issues in human evolution, such as the increase in human brain size and the expansion of the environmental niche humans occupied, can be answered. He identifies distinct economic forces at work, beginning with the transition from the feed-as-you-go strategy of primates, through hunter-gathering and the domestication of fire to the development of agriculture. This highly readable book will inform and intrigue general readers and those in fields such as evolutionary biology and psychology, economics, and anthropology

    Abstract: Human settlement of the Lower Mississippi River Valley-especially in New Orleans, the region's largest metropolis-has produced profound and dramatic environmental change. From prehistoric midden building to late-twentieth century industrial pollution, Transforming New Orleans and Its Environs traces through history the impact of human activity upon the environment of this fascinating and unpredictable region. In eleven essays, scholars across disciplines--including anthropology, architecture, history, natural history, and geography--chronicle how societies have worked to transform untamed wetlands and volatile floodplains into a present-day sprawling urban center and industrial complex, and how they have responded to the environmental changes brought about by the disruption of the natural setting. This new text follows the trials of native and colonial settlers as they struggled to shape the environment to fit the needs of urbanization. It demonstrates how the Mississippi River, while providing great avenues for commerce, transportation, and colonization also presented the region's greatest threat to urban centers, and details how engineers set about taming the mighty river. Also featured is an analysis of the impact of modern New Orleans upon the surrounding rural parishes and the effect urban pollution has had on the city's water supply and aquatic life.

    Abstract: The growth of international trade and travel means that more species are being introduced to more places than ever before. This book represents the first concerted effort to understand the economic causes and consequences of biological invasions. The volume discusses the theoretical and methodological issues raised by invasion, including control strategies, modelling options, and a study of the economic, institutional and policy conditions that predispose countries to biological invasions. Also included are case studies of fisheries, agricultural systems, tropical forests and protected areas affected by invasive species in locations such as the Black Sea, Australia and Africa, and an evaluation of control programmes

    Abstract: This book deals with biomimetic sensors that can quantify taste and smell - the electronic tongue and nose. Of all sensor technologies, these have been widely considered as the most difficult to realise and the development of these sensors significantly contributes to the understanding of the reception mechanisms in gustatory and olfactory systems. The author begins by dealing with the basic principles of measurement and multivariate analysis. Reception mechanisms in biological systems are briefly reviewed. Several types of biosensor, including enzyme-immobilized membranes, SPR, the quartz resonance oscillator and IC technologies are explained in detail. This book is the first to focus on artificial taste and smell sensors and also reviews conventional biosensors, such as enzyme sensors, in detail
