Sinopse

"The Story of Evolution" explores how life on Earth evolved from a single origin, focusing on Darwin’s theory of natural selection and the role of genetics. It delves into the scientific evidence supporting evolution, highlighting adaptation and common descent. Readers will gain insights into how the mechanisms of inheritance and gene flow drive evolutionary change, shaping the biological world. The book integrates Darwin's ideas with modern genetics to explain molecular evolution and population genetics.

 
Examining the fossil record, comparative anatomy, and embryology, it presents a compelling picture of life's history. By using examples such as antibiotic resistance and the diversification of Darwin’s finches, the book clarifies complex concepts and addresses common misconceptions. Progressing from foundational concepts to advanced topics, it provides a comprehensive overview suitable for students and science enthusiasts alike.

    "We humans are a minority of giants, stumbling around in the world of little things," Sue Hubbell writes in this marvelous book. Each of these little things "has a complicated and special way of getting on in the world, different from ours and different from one another's." 
      
    In Waiting for Aphrodite she explores the ways of sponges and sea urchins, horseshoe crabs and the sea mouse known as Aphrodite—as well as our ways. She takes us on a journey through the mysteries of time—geological, biological, and personal—as she writes of the evolution of life on this planet and the evolution of her own life: her childhood next to a Michigan graveyard; the three colleges where she "learned three things"; her twenty-five years keeping bees on a farm in the Ozarks; her move to a "strange little house" in a small Maine town, "the place I wanted to grow old in." And in the tide pools and ocean waters there she discovered a whole new world, the world of little things that inspired this book. 
      
    "In her new book, Hubbell becomes a Shakespeare of advocacy for some of the more ignored denizens of our complicated planet."—Newsday

    Dignity for Deeply Forgetful...

    For caregivers of deeply forgetful people: a book that combines new ethics guidelines with an innovative program on how to communicate and connect with people with Alzheimer's. 
     
    How do we approach a "deeply forgetful" loved one so as to notice and affirm their continuing selfidentity? For three decades, Stephen G. Post has worked around the world encouraging caregivers to become more aware of—and find renewed hope in—surprising expressions of selfhood despite the challenges of cognitive decline. 
     
    In this book, Post offers new perspectives on the worth and dignity of people with Alzheimer's and related disorders despite the negative influence of "hypercognitive" values that place an ethically unacceptable emphasis on human dignity as based on linear rationality and strength of memory. This bias, Post argues, is responsible for the abusive exclusion of this population from our shared humanity.  
     
    With vignettes and narratives, he argues for a deeper dignity grounded in consciousness, emotional presence, creativity, interdependence, music, and a self that is not "gone" but "differently abled."  
     
    Post covers key practical topics such as: 
    • understanding the experience of dementia 
    • noticing subtle expressions of continuing selfhood, including "paradoxical lucidity" 
    • perspectives on ethical quandaries from diagnosis to terminal care and everything in between, as gleaned from the voices of caregivers 
    • how to communicate optimally and use language effectively 
    • the value of art, poetry, symbols, personalized music, and nature in revealing self-identity 
    • the value of trained "dementia companion" dogs 
     
    At a time when medical advances to cure these conditions are still out of reach and the most recent drugs have shown limited effectiveness, Post argues that focusing discussion and resources on the relational dignity of these individuals and the respite needs of their caregivers is vital. Grounding ethics  
    on the equal worth of all conscious human beings, he provides a cautionary perspective on preemptive assisted suicide based on cases that he has witnessed. He affirms vulnerability and interdependence as the core of the human condition and celebrates caregivers as advocates seeking social and economic  
    justice in an American system where they and their loved ones receive only leftover scraps. Racially inclusive and grounded in diversity, Dignity for Deeply Forgetful People also includes a workshop appendix focused on communication and connection, "A Caregiver Resilience Program," by Rev. Dr. Jade C. Angelica.
