  Better Never to Have Been - The...

  Most people believe that they were either benefited or at least not harmed by being brought into existence. Thus, if they ever do reflect on whether they should bring others into existence—rather than having children without even thinking about whether they should—they presume that they do them no harm. Better Never to Have Been challenges these assumptions. David Benatar argues that coming into existence is always a serious harm. Those who never exist cannot be deprived. However, by coming into existence one does suffer quite serious harms that could not have befallen one had one not come into existence. Drawing on the relevant psychological literature, the author shows that there are a number of well-documented features of human psychology that explain why people systematically overestimate the quality of their lives and why they are thus resistant to the suggestion that they were seriously harmed by being brought into existence. The author then argues for the "anti-natal" view—that it is always wrong to have children—and he shows that combining the anti-natal view with common pro-choice views about fetal moral status yield a "pro-death" view about abortion. Although counter-intuitive for many, that implication is defended, not least by showing that it solves many conundrums of moral theory about population.

  How the Clinic Made Gender - The...

  An eye-opening exploration of the medical origins of gender in modern US history.  
   
  Today, a world without “gender” is hard to imagine. Gender is at the center of contentious political and social debates, shapes policy decisions, and informs our everyday lives. Its formulation, however, is lesser known: Gender was first used in clinical practice. This book tells the story of the invention of gender in American medicine, detailing how it was shaped by mid-twentieth-century American notions of culture, personality, and social engineering.  
   
  Sandra Eder shows how the concept of gender transformed from a pragmatic tool in the sex assignment of children with intersex traits in the 1950s to an essential category in clinics for transgender individuals in the 1960s. Following gender outside the clinic, she reconstructs the variable ways feminists integrated gender into their theories and practices in the 1970s. The process by which ideas about gender became medicalized, enforced, and popularized was messy, and the route by which gender came to be understood and applied through the treatment of patients with intersex traits was fraught and contested. In historicizing the emergence of the sex/gender binary, Eder reveals the role of medical practice in developing a transformative idea and the interdependence between practice and wider social norms that inform the attitudes of physicians and researchers. She shows that ideas like gender can take on a life of their own and may be used to question the normative perceptions they were based on. Illuminating and deeply researched, the book closes a notable gap in the history of gender and will inspire current debates on the relationship between social norms and medical practice.

  Animal Biology - Understanding...

  Today you are getting a deal of two books: 
  Biology - Biology is the study of life and living organisms, encompassing their structure, function, growth, evolution, and interactions with their environment. This diverse field seeks to answer fundamental questions about life, such as how organisms survive, reproduce, and evolve over time. Understanding biology is crucial not only for gaining knowledge about the natural world but also for addressing issues in medicine, agriculture, environmental science, and biotechnology. At its core, biology explores the characteristics of life, which include organization, metabolism, homeostasis, growth, reproduction, response to stimuli, and adaptation. All living organisms share these characteristics, though they may express them in various ways. From the microscopic bacteria that live in the soil to the complex human body, biological processes are at work, and each organism plays a part in maintaining the balance of ecosystems. 
  Zoology - Zoology is the scientific study of animals, their biology, behavior, and interactions with their environment. As one of the core branches of biology, zoology seeks to understand the vast diversity of animal life on Earth, ranging from the simplest invertebrates to the most complex mammals. It encompasses a wide array of topics, including animal anatomy, physiology, behavior, ecology, and evolution, offering insights into the very essence of life itself. The importance of studying zoology is far-reaching. Animals are not only a key part of the planet’s biodiversity but also play vital roles in ecosystems that support life on Earth. They are integral to food webs, pollination, seed dispersal, and maintaining the balance of natural systems. By understanding animals, zoologists can contribute to the conservation and preservation of species and habitats, ensuring the survival of both the creatures themselves and the ecosystems they support.

  The Dark Energy Puzzle - Piecing...

  In the late 1990s, astronomers made a discovery that completely changed our understanding of the universe. While studying distant supernovae to measure how fast the universe was expanding, researchers expected to see signs that the expansion was slowing down due to gravity. Instead, they found the opposite—the expansion was speeding up. This unexpected observation pointed to something completely unknown, an unseen force that counteracts gravity and drives galaxies apart at an accelerating rate. That force was given the name "dark energy." 
  The term "dark" doesn't mean this energy is black or shadowy, but rather that it's unknown and mysterious. Scientists still don’t know what it really is, only that it seems to make up around 68 percent of the total energy in the universe. That’s a huge amount, especially considering that everything we can see—stars, planets, gas, dust—makes up less than 5 percent. The rest is made of dark matter, another unknown component, but dark energy is even more puzzling. It doesn’t clump like matter does, and it seems to be spread evenly through space. 
  Astronomers began piecing this together by observing Type Ia supernovae, which are exploding stars that always reach roughly the same brightness. Because of that consistency, they can be used like cosmic measuring sticks. When scientists looked at supernovae that were billions of light-years away, they saw that those objects were dimmer than expected. That meant they were farther away than predicted, and the only explanation was that the universe had expanded more than anyone thought. It wasn’t just expanding—it was accelerating.
