  Breeding - The Human History of...

  John Waller

  Breeding charts more than two thousand years of ideas about the nature of sex and heredity. From the speculations of the ancient, medieval and early modern worlds to the birth of genetics in the modern age, John Waller examines how we came to solve one of the greatest of enigmas: why offspring tend to look like their parents.  But this book goes further than telling a story of scientific advance. It also explores the social and political realities which often determined how people used the concept of heredity. It reveals how, from Plato's Republic to the modern IQ and race debate, the notion that some qualities of body and mind are inborn has been used to justify the supremacy of social elites and the racist ideologies of those who have profited from slavery and colonial expansion. This is a history of scientific developments, ideological inventions, and how the two have changed one another.

  Guy W. Ballard (July 28, 1878-December 29, 1939) and his wife, Edna Anne Wheeler Ballard, founded the I AM Movement. Ballard served in the US Army in World War I and then became a mining engineer. Both he and Edna studied theosophy and the occult extensively. In 1930 Ballard visited Mount Shasta in California, where he met another hiker who identified himself as the Count of St. Germain. These experiences are recorded in the three books Ballard wrote using the pen name Godfre Ray King. The I AM movement was one of the most successful, flamboyant, and controversial of the late 1930s. Ballard's teachings form the original nucleus for what are today called the Ascended Master Teachings and are still being taught by I AM sanctuaries all over the world.

  Step aboard the HMS History and set sail on an epic voyage with "The Letters & Journals of Lord Nelson,” brought to life by the incomparable Charles Dance. 
   
  Discover the remarkable life of Viscount Horatio Nelson (1758-1805), the legendary "Hero" of his time. As a daring commander and strategic genius, Nelson's legacy is woven into the fabric of British naval history. From his triumph at the Battle of Cape St Vincent to the awe-inspiring victories at the Nile (1798) and Copenhagen (1801), his story unfolds with unparalleled drama. 
   
  Delve into the complex tapestry of Nelson's life, marked by both brilliance and scandal. His unapologetic arrogance stands in stark contrast to his passionate, scandalous love affair with the captivating Emma Hamilton. 
   
  But the ultimate chapter of his saga is written in blood on the decks of the HMS Victory. On the fateful day of October 21, 1805, Lord Nelson met his heroic end, struck down by a musket shot during the Battle of Trafalgar, securing the greatest naval victory in Royal Navy history. 
   
  In "The Letters & Journals of Lord Nelson," you'll experience history like never before. Immerse yourself in the intimate words of the man himself, as his personal letters and journals reveal the audacious exploits and deep emotions of England's greatest hero. 
   
  Also available as part of the CLASSIC LETTERS & JOURNALS BOX SET, a sixteen hour, seven-volume edition featuring the letters and journals of Lord Nelson, Charlotte Brontë, Scott of the Antarctic, Queen Victoria, Lord Byron, Jane Austen and Dorothy Wordsworth. Performed by Charles Dance, Imogen Stubbs, Edward Fox, Virginia McKenna, Robert Powell, Fiona Shaw and Jenny Agutter.
