Sinopse

What Is Genetic Engineering
 
The alteration and manipulation of the genes in an organism via the use of technology is referred to as genetic engineering and is also known as genetic modification or genetic manipulation. It is a collection of techniques that may alter the genetic make-up of cells, including the transfer of genes both inside and across species, with the goal of producing creatures that are superior to or unique from those that already exist. Either by isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using recombinant DNA techniques or by chemically synthesising the DNA, new DNA may be created. Recombinant DNA methods can be found here. In most cases, a construct is built and then used for the purpose of inserting this DNA into the host organism. Paul Berg created the first recombinant DNA molecule in 1972 by mixing the DNA of two different viruses, namely SV40 from monkeys and lambda from lambda viruses. The method may also be used to delete genes, often known as "knocking out" genes, in addition to introducing new genes. It is possible to insert the new DNA in a random pattern, or it may be targeted to a particular region of the genome.

    Housing and Urban Policy -...

    Housing and urban policy play a crucial role in shaping the development and functioning of cities. These policies not only determine how housing is distributed, financed, and regulated but also have a profound impact on the quality of life for urban residents. As urban populations grow at unprecedented rates, particularly in developing regions, the need for comprehensive housing policies that address affordability, accessibility, and sustainability becomes increasingly urgent. 
    At its core, housing policy refers to the set of laws, regulations, and strategies designed to ensure that all residents have access to safe, affordable, and adequate housing. Urban policy, meanwhile, extends beyond housing to include broader strategies for city planning, infrastructure, and public services. Together, housing and urban policy aim to create cities that are not only livable but also resilient, inclusive, and sustainable. 
    Historically, housing policies have evolved in response to changing economic, social, and political circumstances. From post-war housing booms to modern challenges like urban sprawl and rising inequality, policies have adapted in varying ways. However, many cities still struggle with issues like the shortage of affordable housing, homelessness, and housing inequality. Rapid urbanization, exacerbated by global migration and population growth, has put further strain on already limited housing resources. As a result, addressing housing needs has become one of the foremost concerns for urban policymakers around the world.

  • Addiction Becomes Normal - On the Late-Modern American Subject - cover

    Addiction Becomes Normal - On...

    Addiction is now seen as an ordinary feature of human nature, an idea that introduces new doubts about the meaning of our desires. 
      
    Over the last forty years, a variety of developments in American science, politics, and culture have reimagined addiction in their own ways, but they share an important understanding: increasingly, addiction is described as normal, the natural result of a body that has been exposed to potent stimuli. This shift in thinking suggests that addiction is a condition latent in all of us, a common response to a society rich in thrills. 
      
    In Addiction Becomes Normal, Jaeyoon Park provides a history and critical analysis of the normalization of addiction in late-modern American society. By exploring addiction science, diagnostic manuals, judicial reform, and public health policy, he shows how seeing addiction as normal has flourished in recent decades and is supported throughout cultural life in the United States by the language of wellness, psychotherapy, and more. Building on Michel Foucault’s depiction of the human figure, Park argues that this shift reflects the emergence of a new American subject, one formed by the accretion of experiences. This view of the human subject challenges the idea that our compulsions reflect our characters, wills, or spirits. For if addiction is an extreme but ordinary attachment, and if compulsive consumption resembles healthy behavior, then desire is no longer an expression of the soul so much as the pursuit of a past reward. A perceptive work of recent history and political theory, Addiction Becomes Normal raises new questions about what it means to be human in America today.

    The Sloth Lemur’s Song

    ‘Full of wonder and forensic intelligence’ Isabella Tree, author of Wilding 
    A moving account of Madagascar told by a researcher who has spent over fifty years investigating the mysteries of this remarkable island. 
    Madagascar is a place of change. A biodiversity hotspot and the fourth largest island on the planet, it has been home to a spectacular parade of animals, from giant flightless birds and giant tortoises on the ground, to agile lemurs leaping through the treetops. Some species live on; many have vanished in the distant or recent past. Over vast stretches of time, Madagascar’s forests have expanded and contracted in response to shifting climates, and the hand of people is clear in changes during the last thousand years or so. Today, Madagascar is a microcosm of global trends. What happens there in the decades ahead can, perhaps, suggest ways to help turn the tide on the environmental crisis now sweeping the world. 
    The Sloth Lemur’s Song is a far-reaching account of Madagascar’s past and present, led by an expert guide who has immersed herself in research and conservation activities with village communities on the island for nearly fifty years. Alison Richard accompanies the reader on a journey through space and time—from Madagascar’s ancient origins as a landlocked region of Gondwana and its emergence as an island to the modern-day developments that make the survival of its array of plants and animals increasingly uncertain. Weaving together scientific evidence with Richard’s own experiences and exploring the power of stories to shape our understanding of events, this book captures the magic as well as the tensions that swirl around this island nation. 
    Alison Richard's The Sloth Lemur’s Song is a captivating exploration of Madagascar's history and ecology. It delves into the effects of warming on the island's wildlife, making it a compelling read for those interested in nature and the sciences. 
    For fans of Andy Field (An Adventure in Statistics), Steve Brusatte (The Rise and Reign of the Mammals), Chris Packham (Earth), Orlando Figes (The Story of Russia), and George Monbiot (Regenesis).
