Sommario/riassunto |

With BPA in baby bottles, mercury in fish, and lead in computer monitors, the world has become a toxic place. But as Emily Monosson demonstrates in her groundbreaking new book, it has always been toxic. When oxygen first developed in Earth's atmosphere, it threatened the very existence of life: now we literally can't live without it. According to Monosson, examining how life adapted to such early threats can teach us a great deal about today's (and tomorrow's) most dangerous contaminants. While the study of evolution has advanced many other sciences, from conservation biology to medicine, the field of toxicology has yet to embrace this critical approach. In Evolution in a Toxic World, Monosson seeks to change that. She traces the development of life's defense systems—the mechanisms that transform, excrete, and stow away potentially harmful chemicals—from more than three billion years ago to today. Beginning with our earliest ancestors' response to ultraviolet radiation, Monosson explores the evolution of chemical defenses such as antioxidants, metal binding proteins, detoxification, and cell death. As we alter the world's chemistry, these defenses often become overwhelmed faster than our |

bodies can adapt. But studying how our complex internal defense network currently operates, and how it came to be that way, may allow us to predict how it will react to novel and existing chemicals. This understanding could lead to not only better management and preventative measures, but possibly treatment of current diseases. Development of that knowledge starts with this pioneering book. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Vor dem Hintergrund der digitalen Transformation und computergenerierter Literatur stellt sich die Frage: Findet sich im literarischen Text etwas, das über den reinen Akt der kombinatorischen Verknüpfung von sprachlichem Material nach bestimmten Regeln hinausgeht? Jan Hase nähert sich dieser Frage mit einer Ethos-Theorie des literarischen Schreibens, die entlang eines Lektürewegs von Roland Barthes über den Orpheus-Mythos und die griechischen Denker Platon und Gorgias zurück zu neusten literarischen Entwicklungen führt. Damit setzt er ein literaturtheoretisches Panorama in Szene, das so beleuchtet bisher selten im Zentrum stand. |
