Plants Steal Genes

Sinopse

Plants Steal Genes unveils the surprising role of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in plant evolution, demonstrating how plants acquire genes from bacteria, fungi, and other species, rather than solely from their ancestors. This challenges the traditional "tree of life" concept, suggesting a more interconnected web where genetic information flows laterally. Understanding HGT is vital, especially considering its implications for plant biotechnology and agriculture. 

 
For instance, HGT contributes to the spread of herbicide resistance, a major concern in crop management. The book meticulously builds its case, beginning with the history of HGT research and the molecular mechanisms behind it. Case studies illustrate HGT events in diverse plant species, focusing on traits like stress tolerance and pathogen defense. 

 
The evolutionary consequences of this genetic acquisition are then analyzed, emphasizing its impact on plant genomes, adaptation, and even speciation. This approach makes complex topics accessible to a broad audience interested in science, life sciences, biology, and biotechnology.

Hearing Happiness - Deafness...

Jaipreet Virdi

Weaving together lyrical history and personal memoir, Virdi powerfully examines society’s—and her own—perception of life as a deaf person in America.

At the age of four, Jaipreet Virdi’s world went silent. A severe case of meningitis left her alive but deaf, suddenly treated differently by everyone. Her deafness downplayed by society and doctors, she struggled to “pass” as hearing for most of her life. Countless cures, treatments, and technologies led to dead ends. Never quite deaf enough for the Deaf community or quite hearing enough for the “normal” majority, Virdi was stuck in aural limbo for years. It wasn’t until her thirties, exasperated by problems with new digital hearing aids, that she began to actively assert her deafness and reexamine society’s—and her own—perception of life as a deaf person in America.
Through lyrical history and personal memoir, Hearing Happiness raises pivotal questions about deafness in American society and the endless quest for a cure. Taking us from the 1860s up to the present, Virdi combs archives and museums in order to understand the long history of curious cures: ear trumpets, violet ray apparatuses, vibrating massagers, electrotherapy machines, airplane diving, bloodletting, skull hammering, and many more. Hundreds of procedures and products have promised grand miracles but always failed to deliver a universal cure—a harmful legacy that is still present in contemporary biomedicine.

Weaving Virdi’s own experiences together with her exploration into the fascinating history of deafness cures, Hearing Happiness is a powerful story that America needs to hear.

Structuring Inequality - How...

Tracy L. Steffes

How inequality was forged, fought over, and forgotten through public policy in metropolitan Chicago. As in many American metropolitan areas, inequality in Chicagoland is visible in its neighborhoods. These inequalities are not inevitable, however. They have been constructed and deepened by public policies around housing, schooling, taxation, and local governance, including hidden state government policies.In Structuring Inequality, historian Tracy L. Steffes shows how metropolitan inequality in Chicagoland was structured, contested, and naturalized over time even as reformers tried to change it through school desegregation, affordable housing, and property tax reform. While these efforts had modest successes in the city and the suburbs, reformers faced significant resistance and counter-mobilization from affluent suburbanites, real estate developers, and other defenders of the status quo who defended inequality and reshaped the policy conversation about it. Grounded in comprehensive archival research and policy analysis, Structuring Inequality examines the history of Chicagoland’s established systems of inequality and provides perspective on the inequality we live with today.
