Sommario/riassunto |
|
Is it right to use biomedical technologies to make us better than well or even perhaps better than human? Should we view our biology as fixed or should we try to improve on it? College students are already taking cognitive enhancement drugs. The U.S. army is already working to develop drugs and technologies to produce ""super soldiers."" Scientists already know how to use genetic engineering techniques to enhance the strength and memories of mice and the application of such technologies to humans is on the horizon.

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book focuses on a biographical and cultural rendering of Adlai E. Stevenson's alliance with a segment of the intellectual community, with primary attention to the years from 1940 to his death in 1965. At the core of the study is an evaluation of the nature of a relationship that was important both to intellectuals, particularly literary intellectuals, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and to Stevenson. This volume exhibits case studies which illumine the alliance through a view of Stevenson's relations with American writers Archibald MacLeish and John Steinbeck. C. Baars Bultman is Professor Emeritus of Education at Hope College in Holland, Michigan, USA. His multi-department teaching assignments there represent a devotion to the liberal arts. His own academic background includes degrees in Political Science (BA), American History (MA), and English (PhD), and this book represents his continuing interest in the importance of interdisciplinary research. |
