"Scholars remain locked in a battle over the relative importance of heredity and environment for such diverse matters as human intelligence, female institution, and racial stratification. The present collection is an attempt to contribute to the quality of this discussion, and focuses not only on the matter of relative weights, but the matter of interaction. Most of the contributions deal with the quality and character of the connection ..."
"For decades, the field of bioethics has shaped the way we think about ethical problems in science, technology, and medicine. But its traditional emphasis on individual interests such as doctor-patient relationships, informed consent, and personal autonomy is minimally helpful in confronting the social and political challenges posed by new human biotechnologies such as assisted reproduction, human genetic modification, and DNA forensics. ..."
"White Americans, abetted by neo-conservative writers of all hues, generally believe that racial discrimination is a thing of the past and that any racial inequalities that undeniably persist - in wages, family income, access to housing or health care - can be attributed to African Americans' cultural and individual failures.
