2004014736London: Kluwer Academic Publishers 2004. Cloth/Laminated Boards. Like New/No d/j as Published. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Type: Book Dorothy Wertz and John Fletcher pioneered the first international study of ethical and social issues in genetics in 18 nations. This book reports and discusses their second and more representative study in 36 nations. The survey focused on actual situations that occur in the practice of medical genetics presented as case vignettes that can also be used in teaching and policy discussion. Among the issues discussed are privacy prenatal diagnosis patient autonomy directiveness in counseling sex selection forensic DNA banking "genetic discrimination" and "eugenics". This is Dorothy Wertz's final book as she died in April 2003. It is a one of a kind cross-cultural study of complex ethical issues in the uses of genetic information. No one else has attempted to look at the international aspects of medical genetics on such a broad scale. The results provide a resource for discussion both within and among nations. Much bioethical and policy discussion now occurs in an information vacuum. The survey showed that what people would do and their reasons for doing it differed considerably from what ethicists think they "should" do. Many will be surprised at the results especially in nations where bioethical discussion is just beginning. "Genetics and Ethics in Global Perspective" is of interest to medical geneticists genetic counselors social scientists and anthropologists who study cross-cultural issues bioethicists and bioethics centers and health policy makers. 474pp. Kluwer Academic Publishers hardcover

Multidisciplinary research on the genetic contributions to criminal and antisocial behavior for behavioral geneticists theorists neuroscientists philosophers and criminologists. -- Criminal and antisocial behaviour threaten cooperative social organization and each culture has developed methods to isolate and punish criminals. However criminal behaviour has not been eliminated in any culture and so it is rational to try to use scientific approaches to explain the origins and causes of criminal behaviour and to suggest ways of preventing crime or rehabilitating offenders. There has been extensive research on environmental causes of criminal behaviour: this book examines the evidence for genetic contributions. Twin and adoption studies suggest that there may be genetic contributions to some criminal behaviours. The data are examined in detail in this book which includes discussion of the methodological problems of disentangling genetic and environmental sources of variance in behaviour. In animals aggression is commonly an appropriate response to environmental stimuli: data from the relevant animal studies of the inheritance of aggressiveness are included in the book. There have been reports suggesting neuropharmacological abnormalities in violent offenders. These represent potential underlying mechanisms whereby genetic influences could be mediated. The recent evidence regarding brain and in particular neurotransmitter abnormalities is discussed. A heritable tendency to behave in a particular way would have significant implications for criminology particularly for rehabilitation strategies. Important issues also arise for moral philosophy. Separate chapters examine evolutionary and anthropological aspects of violence and warfare. The book is truly multidisciplinary and contains contributions from behavioural geneticists population geneticists evolutionary theorists neuroscientists philosophers and criminologists. -- with a bonus offer-- .

1819020733Princes Street Corner of Gerard Street Soho: J. Callow 1819. First edition. Illustrated with 12 engraved plates several of them folding octavo pp xxiv 579 i slight age-toning to the front endpaper the half-title and the frontispiece otherwise very clean internally neatly bound in a recent brown half-leather and cloth. With the bookplate of Robert Washington Oates on the front endpaper. Sir William Lawrence 1st Baronet FRCS FRS 1783 -1867 was an English surgeon who became President of the Royal College of Surgeons of London and Serjeant Surgeon to the Queen. In his mid-thirties he published two books of his lectures which contained pre-Darwinian ideas on man's nature and effectively on evolution. In 1819 the second book known by its short title of the Natural history of Man caused a storm of disapproval from conservative and clerical quarters for its supposed atheism and within the medical profession because he advocated a materialist rather than vitalist approach to human life. He was linked by his critics with such other 'revolutionaries' as Thomas Paine and Lord Byron. It was "the first great scientific issue that widely seized the public imagination in Britain a premonition of the debate over Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection exactly forty years later". It contained some remarkable anticipations of later thought but was ruthlessly suppressed. To this day many historical accounts of evolutionary ideas do not mention Lawrence's contribution. He is omitted for example from many of the Darwin biographies from some evolution textbooks essay collections and even from accounts of pre-Darwinian science and religion. Although the only idea of interest which Darwin found in Lawrence was that of sexual selection in man the influence on Alfred Russel Wallace was more positive. Wallace "found in Lawrence a possible mechanism of organic change that of spontaneous variation leading to the formation of new species". First Edition. Half-Leather. Very Good. J. Callow Hardcover
