How we Get Mendel Wrong and Why it Matters Challenging the narrative of Mendelian genetics

How we Get Mendel Wrong and Why it Matters Challenging the narrative of Mendelian genetics

This book illustrates that the stereotypical representations of Gregor Mendel and his work misrepresent his findings and their historical context. The author sets the historical record straight and provides scientists with a reference guide to the respective scholarship in the early history of genetics. The overarching argument is twofold: on the one hand that we had better avoid naïve hero-worshipping and understand each historical figure Mendel in particular by placing them in the actual sociocultural context in which they lived and worked; on the other hand that we had better refrain from teaching in schools the naive Mendelian genetics that provided the presumed “scientific” basis for eugenics. Key Features Corrects the distorting stereotypical representations of Mendelian genetics and provides an authentic picture of how science is done focusing on Gregor Mendel and his actual contributions to science Explains how the oversimplifications of Mendelian genetics were exploited by ideologues to provide the presumed “scientific” basis for eugenics Proposes a shift in school education from teaching how the science of genetics is done using model systems to teaching the complexities of development through which heredity is materialized | How we Get Mendel Wrong and Why it Matters Challenging the narrative of Mendelian genetics

Human Rights in the Media Fear and Fetish

Human Rights in the Media Fear and Fetish

This collection sets about untangling some of the knotty issues in the underexplored relationship between human rights and the media. We investigate how complex debates in political judicial academic and public life on the role and value of human rights are represented in the media particularly in print journalism. To focus the discussion we concentrate on media representation of the controversial proposals in the United Kingdom to repeal the Human Rights Act 1998 and to replace it with a British Bill of Rights. The collection is underpinned by the observation that views on human rights and on the proposals to repeal and replace are polarised. On the one hand human rights are presented as threatening and therefore utterly denigrated; on the other hand human rights are idolised and therefore uncritically celebrated. This is the ‘fear and fetish’ in our title. The media plays a decisive role in constructing this polarity through its representation of political and ideological viewpoints. In order to get to grips with the fear the fetish and this complex interrelationship the collection tackles key contemporary themes amongst them: the proposed British Bill of Rights Brexit prisoner-voting the demonisation of immigrants press freedom tabloid misreporting trial by media and Magna Carta. The collection explores media representation investigates media polarity and critiques the media’s role. | Human Rights in the Media Fear and Fetish

The 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games Assessing the 30-Year Legacy

The 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games Assessing the 30-Year Legacy

The 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games stand as the most profitable and arguably the most important event in the history of the modern Olympic movement. Fresh off the back of the financially disastrous Montreal Games of 1976 and the politically controversial Moscow Games of 1980 the Olympic movement returned to the United States for the sixth time in an attempt to salvage the economic viability and global prestige of the Olympics. The Los Angeles Olympics proved to be both provocative and polarizing. On the one hand they have been heralded as an overwhelming transformative success ushering the Olympic movement into the modern commercial age. On the other hand critics have repudiated the Games as a manifestation of commercial excess and a platform for western political and cultural propaganda. In conjunction with the 30th anniversary of the Los Angeles Olympics this volume examines their legacy. With an international collection of contributing scholars this volume will span a range of global legacies including the increasing commercialization of the Games the changing participation of women the Communist boycott movement nationalism and sporting identity and the modernization and California-cation of the Games. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport. | The 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games Assessing the 30-Year Legacy

Spatializing the History of Ecology Sites Journeys Mappings

Spatializing the History of Ecology Sites Journeys Mappings

Throughout its history the discipline of ecology has always been profoundly entangled with the history of space and place. On the one hand ecology is a field science that has thrived on the study of concrete spatial entities such as islands forests or rivers. These spaces are the workplaces in which ecological phenomena are identified observed and experimented on. They provide both epistemic opportunities and constraints that structure the agenda and the analytical sensibilities of ecological researchers. On the other hand ecological knowledge and practices have become important resources through which spaces and places are classified delineated explained experienced and managed. The impact of these activities reaches far beyond the realms of the ecological discipline. Many ecological concepts such as biotopes ecosystems and the biosphere have become entities that widely resonate in public life and policy making. This book explores the mutual entanglement between space and knowledge-making in the history of ecology. Its first goal is to explore to which extent a spatial perspective can shed new light on the history of ecological science. Second it uses ecology as a critical site to gain broader insights into the history of the environment in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Via a series of case studies – discussing topics that range from ecological field stations in the early-twentieth century Caribbean over wisent breeding in Nazi Germany to computer modelling in North American deserts – the book offers a tour through the changing landscapes of modern ecology. | Spatializing the History of Ecology Sites Journeys Mappings

Oil and Gas Technology and Humans Assessing the Human Factors of Technological Change

Oil and Gas Technology and Humans Assessing the Human Factors of Technological Change

The oil and gas industry is going through a major technological shift. This is particularly true of the Norwegian continental shelf where new work processes are being implemented based on digital infrastructure and information technology. The term Integrated Operations (IO) has been applied to this set of new processes. It is defined by the Centre for Integrated Operations in the Petroleum Industry as 'work processes and technology to make smarter decisions and better execution enabled by ubiquitous real time data collaborative techniques and access to multiple expertise'. It's claimed that IO is efficient optimises exploration reduces costs and improves safety performance. However the picture is not as clear-cut as it may appear. On the one hand the new work processes do not prevent major accidents: IO-related factors have been identified in recent events such as the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe. On the other hand IO technology provides improved decision-making support (such as access to real-time data and expertise) which can reduce human and material losses and damage to the environment. Given these very different properties it's vital that the industry has a detailed understanding of the benefits and drawbacks of IO which this book sets out to do from a multidisciplinary point of view. It analyses Integrated Operations from the angles of statistics management science human factors and resilience engineering. These varied disciplines provide a multifaceted understanding of IO that better informs risk assessment practices as well as explaining new techniques and methods and provides state-of-the-art guidance to risk assessment practitioners working in the oil and gas industry. | Oil and Gas Technology and Humans Assessing the Human Factors of Technological Change
