The Social Meaning of Modern Biology From Social Darwinism to Sociobiology


Free Download The Social Meaning of Modern Biology: From Social Darwinism to Sociobiology by Howard Kaye
English | October 6, 2017 | ISBN: 1138538590, 1560009144 | True EPUB/PDF | 208 pages | 0.5/28 MB
The Social Meaning of Modern Biology analyzes the cultural significance of recurring attempts since the time of Darwin to extract social and moral guidance from the teachings of modern biology. Such efforts are often dismissed as ideological defenses of the social status quo, of the sort wrongly associated with nineteenth-century social Darwinism. Howard Kaye argues they are more properly viewed as culturally radical attempts to redefine who we are by nature and thus rethink how we should live. Despite the scientific and philosophical weaknesses of arguments that "biology is destiny," and their dehumanizing potential, in recent years they have proven to be powerfully attractive. They will continue to be so in an age enthralled by genetic explanations of human experience and excited by the prospect of its biological control.

Melanoma Development Molecular Biology, Genetics and Clinical Application


Free Download Melanoma Development: Molecular Biology, Genetics and Clinical Application By Anja Bosserhoff, Luigi Strizzi (auth.), Anja Bosserhoff (eds.)
2011 | 376 Pages | ISBN: 3709103703 | PDF | 7 MB
The book provides comprehensive insights into molecular changes in malignant melanoma. The general mechanisms of melanoma growth and development are described, as well as new research findings. Our current knowledge on the molecules involved in cell transformation and tumor progression will soon lead to sophisticated, targeted therapies. Recent studies with targeted b-RAF inhibitors have given us grounds to hope that these therapies will be successful. Melanoma Development- Molecular Biology, Genetics and Clinical Application aims to contribute to this knowledge. Summarizing the newest data and presenting upcoming research areas in the field, the book will be of great interest to basic researchers and physicians working in the important fields of melanoma, cancer research, therapy and dermatology.
