  Nature versus nurture has shaped centuries of debate—but what if the answer is neither, and both? 
  In Human Agency: 75% DNA, 25% Free Will, scientist and biotechnologist Muren Herrid, PhD, revisits the classic question of whether our lives are determined by genetics (nature) or environment and experience (nurture)—and argues that modern science demands a more nuanced answer. 
  Drawing on research in genetics, epigenetics, evolution, and biotechnology, this book examines how DNA powerfully shapes intelligence, behaviour, and physical traits, while also showing how environment, experience, and mental state can influence how genes are expressed—sometimes across generations. 
  Blending rigorous science with real-world examples and personal reflections, Human Agency explores:Why genetics explains more about human differences than we often admitHow epigenetics blurs the line between nature and nurtureWhether mental state and conscious behaviour can influence biologyWhat evolution looks like in the age of AI, gene editing, and NeuralinkHow humanity may actively participate in its own future evolution 
  Written for curious readers, science enthusiasts, policymakers, and professionals, this book challenges simplistic answers to the nature-versus-nurture debate and replaces them with a biologically grounded, evidence-based framework. 
  If you’ve ever asked whether your destiny is written in your DNA—or whether free will still matters—Human Agency offers a compelling scientific perspective on who we are, and how much choice we truly have.

  Underground Railroad to Mexico...

  The Underground Railroad is one of the most taught topics to young schoolchildren, and every American is familiar with the idea of fugitive slaves escaping to Canada and the North with the help of determined abolitionists and even former escaped slaves like Harriet Tubman. The secrecy involved in the Underground Railroad made it one of the most mysterious aspects of the mid-19th century in America, to the extent that claims spread that 100,000 slaves had escaped via the Underground Railroad. Of course, from a practical standpoint, the Underground Railroad had to remain covert not only for the sake of thousands of slaves, but for a small army of men and women of every race, religion and economic class who put themselves in peril on an ongoing basis throughout the first half of the 19th century, and in the years leading up to the war.  
  	Over 150 years later, that same secrecy has helped the Underground Railroad become so romanticized and mythologized that people often visualize it in ways that were far different from reality. Before the American Civil War eliminated slavery, it was a fixture in North America for over 200 years, and by 1850 a trained slave was worth approximately $2,500, around 10 times the sum of a typical annual salary in that day. As a result, the economic dependence on slavery in the South was an extreme one, and in the wake of the Fugitive Slave Act, black people in the North were under constant pressure to defend their “credentials” to bounty hunters and owners. Between the value of slaves in America, rising abolitionist sentiment at home and overseas, and political debates promoting or hindering the movement toward equality, the era in which the Underground Railroad operated cannot be easily fit into a concise body of principles, actions or geography.

  Blue - A History of Postpartum...

  New motherhood is often seen as a joyful moment in a woman's life; for some women, it is also their lowest moment. For much of the twentieth century, popular and medical voices blamed women who had emotional and mental distress after childbirth for their own suffering. By the end of the century, though, women with postpartum mental illnesses sought to take charge of this narrative. In Blue: A History of Postpartum Depression in America, Rachel Louise Moran explores the history of the naming and mainstreaming of postpartum depression. Coalitions of maverick psychiatrists, psychologists, and women who themselves had survived substantial postpartum distress fought to legitimize and normalize women's experiences. They argued that postpartum depression is an objective and real illness and fought to avoid it being politicized alongside other fraught medical and political battles over women's health. 
   
   
   
  Based on insightful oral histories and in-depth archival research, Blue reveals a secret history of American motherhood, women's political activism, and the rise of postpartum depression advocacy amid an often-censorious conservative culture. By breaking new ground with the first book-length history of postpartum mental illness in the twentieth century, Moran brings mothers' battles with postpartum depression out of the shadows and into the light.
