Bowring, Finn, 1969-. Science, seeds and cyborgs: biotechnology and the appropriation of life. London ; New York: Verso, 2003, xiii, 338pp., very good dust-jacket, cover price $27, very good gray cloth, fresh attractive copy. "Science, Seeds and Cyborgs is a detailed examination and critique of the DNA-centric paradigm in molecular biology, and of the biotech industry it has spawned. It argues that the genetic manipulation of organisms is proceeding along a perilous path, where even the successes of the new genetic technologies produce corrosive cultural effects, making it progressively easier to think of organisms - including the human one - as disposable artefacts. Exploring the wide reach of modern biotechnology, from the genetic modification of plants and animals to medical genetics, assisted reproduction and human cloning, it suggests that we are losing sight of the human being in favour of adapting that being to an inhuman world." - CONTENTS: Preface -- Introduction -- Revolution in molecular biology -- Agricultural biotechnology and ecological risk -- Life science industry -- Manufacturing scarcity -- Animal biotechnology and ethics -- Health and disease : the limitations of genetic determinism -- From pharmacogenetics to gene therapy -- Road to human cloning -- Genetic discrimination : information and power -- Making babies : the appropriation of life -- Cyborg solution. 9781859846872 ISBN 1859846874.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Are we accepting of death, or in denial of it? What insights can we gain from the ways death has been imagined, theorized, and organized throughout Western social and intellectual history that might help us respond meaningfully to the climate emergency?This interdisciplinary study begins with the role of tragedy in Greek antiquity and examines European attitudes toward death, especially their entanglement with colonial atrocities and politically organized killings.Drawing on the work of philosophers, sociologists, historians, and psychoanalysts, this is a resounding call to confront our responsibility for the lives of others-and the future of life itself-amid the existential threats of the Anthropocene.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Hannah Arendt is one of the most famous political theorists of the twentieth century, yet in the social sciences her work has rarely been given the attention it deserves. This careful and comprehensive study introduces Arendt to a wider audience.Finn Bowring shows how Arendt's writings have engaged with and influenced prominent figures in the sociological canon, and how her ideas may shed light on some of the most pressing social and political problems of today. He explores her critique of Marx, her relationship to Weber, the influence of her work on Habermas and the parallels and discrepancies between her and Foucault. This is a clearly written and scholarly text which surveys the leading debates over Arendt's work, including discussions of totalitarianism, the public sphere and the nature of political responsibility. This book will bring new perspectives to students and lecturers in sociology and politics.…
