This book was released on 2009-10-15 with total page 1032 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National, European and international concepts and strategies concerning the legal and ethical framework of chimera and hybrid research are still largely missing, even though they are absolutely necessary in order to use the potential of chimera and hybrid research effectively and efficiently for the benefit of science and society. The outcome of the CHIMBRIDS-Project successfully sheds light on the chances and risks of this research and provides legal solutions to existing problems in order to help decision-makers fulfil their tasks in an informed and efficient manner. This comprehensive volume details the complete results, contributed by 40 scholars from 10 member states of the European Union, Canada, China, Israel, Japan, Switzerland and the US, with descriptive reports of the legal situation in specific countries and in-depth analysis of all scientific, medical, ethical and legal implications of chimera and hybrid research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHEN THE VAMPIRE PRINCESS GOES MISSING, ALL OF LAC'AROON WILL PAY THE PRICE. Chimera delicately sat in a vacant chair and crossed her legs, all the while maintaining her grip on Lokeys arm. Lokeys fingers were starting to lose their feeling and her shoulders ached. My friends here thought I needed a broader education than my Queen Aunt could or would provide me. So, Lokey here drugged me, stole a horse, and kidnapped me. The Major winked handsomely at Lokey. Nice friends. Lokey hissed back. We caught a ship to Telt, were assaulted by Bartholomeu Roberts and Edvard Teach in Bahaba Delta, converted a captain and were chased from the forest outside of Goldavia by The Queen's minions. Chimera leaned forward with the flow of her tale. I am told that humans here have worth beyond the quality of their blood. I am here to learn what that means and decide if that is more or less important than the vampire purist education I received at Kimilt.

Book excerpt: A comprehensive survey of the current context and ethical implications of human-nonhuman genetic combinations. The idea of human-nonhuman combinations has been a recurrent theme throughout the history of humanity. From the myths of the Minotaur and the centaurs in ancient Greece to the dogheads of the Middle Ages right through to the monsters of modern science fiction, these beings have always been a source of fascination. In recent years, however, biomedical advances have demonstrated the potential to make these entities a reality through the creation of inter-species combinations. As a result, pressing and perplexing ethical questions arise. Introducing the reader to the historical context of human-nonhuman experimentation and potential future developments, this volume offers clarification, analysis and a thorough overview of the ethical challenges relating to human-nonhuman chimeras, true hybrids, cybrids and other combinations. This book is the first accessible survey of the different ethical dilemmas facing contemporary society in the creation of human-nonhuman embryonic, foetal and postnatal entities. These include important cultural, legal, philosophical and religious perspectives. As such it will act as a springboard for future debate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twisted bodies, deformed faces, aberrant behavior, and abnormal desires characterized the hideous creatures of classic Hollywood horror, which thrilled audiences with their sheer grotesqueness. Most critics have interpreted these traits as symptoms of sexual repression or as metaphors for other kinds of marginalized identities, yet Angela M. Smith conducts a richer investigation into the period's social and cultural preoccupations. She finds instead a fascination with eugenics and physical and cognitive debility in the narrative and spectacle of classic 1930s horror, heightened by the viewer's desire for visions of vulnerability and transformation. Reading such films as Dracula (1931), Frankenstein (1931), Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931), Freaks (1932), and Mad Love (1935) against early-twentieth-century disability discourse and propaganda on racial and biological purity, Smith showcases classic horror's dependence on the narratives of eugenics and physiognomics. She also notes the genre's conflicted and often contradictory visualizations. Smith ultimately locates an indictment of biological determinism in filmmakers' visceral treatments, which take the impossibility of racial improvement and bodily perfection to sensationalistic heights. Playing up the artifice and conventions of disabled monsters, filmmakers exploited the fears and yearnings of their audience, accentuating both the perversity of the medical and scientific gaze and the debilitating experience of watching horror. Classic horror films therefore encourage empathy with the disabled monster, offering captive viewers an unsettling encounter with their own impairment. Smith's work profoundly advances cinema and disability studies, in addition to general histories concerning the construction of social and political attitudes toward the Other.

Book excerpt: To free myself, I defy the goddess-queen. To free the realm, I must dethrone the gods for good. Chimera’s were once legendary for their shapeshifting prowess and the ability to breathe fire. Yet the secrets and cruelties within my goddess-queen mother’s court render me nothing more than a beast to control—caged, inferior, and cowardly. But when prisoners are brought into the palace, I break the goddess-queen’s rules. Anything to learn more of the outside world I’m kept away from. Yet breaking the rules comes at a price: I’m exiled from the court I called home and the mother I don’t know how to live without. A mother who lied about everything—including the details of who I am and who birthed me. To survive, I band together with a handsome demigod—Alexius, the latest blacksmith to seal a collar around my neck. He’s a mess of contradictions—arrogant yet modest, immovable yet soft—and I like him far more than I should. With each day, it deepens into something more. Something I don’t dare name. And though his plan to put Zeus back on the throne is risky, it may earn me freedom. I risked everything for the prisoners’ freedom. Then I risk everything for my own. Yet when allies and enemies alike crumble beneath the goddess-queen’s tyranny, will I risk everything to free the realm? If you like Greek mythology, swoon-worthy romance, and legendary creatures, you’ll love Chimera Child, the final book in a thrilling fantasy trilogy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ensuring National Biosecurity: Institutional Biosafety Committees reviews the various responsibilities and associated challenges Institutional Biosafety Committees (IBCs) face and proposes changes that may help improve this system and increase national biosecurity and worker safety. In recent years IBCs in academic and other institutions have been tasked with increasing levels of responsibility, overseeing work with recombinant genetic material and hazardous agents. IBC members often lack the training to effectively ensure that the work performed is truly safe for scientists and the general community, and so increasingly rely upon the expertise of the researchers themselves. With the proposed US dual-use research policies soon to be implemented, this strain may increase. This book provides readers with the necessary information to be able to enhance national biosecurity within the US, EU, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and more. Ensuring National Biosecurity is as an invaluable reference for biosafety professionals or for researchers who need to understand the regulatory landscape that impacts their research. - Examines and assesses the current state of Institutional Biosafety Committees (IBCs) - Collates contributions from world-renowned experts in fields as diverse as research compliance, law and astrobiology - Reflects an international perspective on regulatory biosecurity and biosafety

This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 1923, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake devastated eastern Japan, killing more than 120,000 people and leaving two million homeless. Using a rich array of source material, J. Charles Schencking tells for the first time the graphic tale of Tokyo's destruction and rebirth. In emotive prose, he documents how the citizens of Tokyo experienced this unprecedented calamity and explores the ways in which it rattled people's deep-seated anxieties about modernity. While explaining how and why the disaster compelled people to reflect on Japanese society, he also examines how reconstruction encouraged the capital's inhabitants to entertain new types of urbanism as they rebuilt their world. Some residents hoped that a grandiose metropolis, reflecting new values, would rise from the ashes of disaster-ravaged Tokyo. Many, however, desired a quick return of the city they once called home. Opportunistic elites advocated innovative state infrastructure to better manage the daily lives of Tokyo residents. Others focused on rejuvenating society—morally, economically, and spiritually—to combat the perceived degeneration of Japan. Schencking explores the inspiration behind these dreams and the extent to which they were realized. He investigates why Japanese citizens from all walks of life responded to overtures for renewal with varying degrees of acceptance, ambivalence, and resistance. His research not only sheds light on Japan's experience with and interpretation of the earthquake but challenges widespread assumptions that disasters unite stricken societies, creating a "blank slate" for radical transformation. National reconstruction in the wake of the Great Kanto Earthquake, Schencking demonstrates, proved to be illusive.

Book excerpt: What secret does the Shroud of Turin contain to justify murder? When scientists uncover a Vatican plot to discredit the Shroud of Turin, they risk their lives to find out why. Unbeknownst to all but a few people, the pope has authorized a dangerous experiment: clone Jesus. Not only are church authorities unprepared for what Jesus would say, they are less prepared for what Jesus would look like. Giving their secret project urgency is a similar experiment by a neo-Nazi cult with cloning ambitions of its own: splice the DNA of Jesus to that of Adolf Hitler.

Book excerpt: Dr. Charlene Klerk, Biologist and Chemist, a young scientist who has lost her family and her early memories. Whilst at a scientific conference, she is attacked by other-worldly creatures and revealed to forces that seek to use her to bring both an ancient terror to the world, and a new one. Yet there are greater forces at work and allies rising to fight with her, to hold back the evils. Despite their seemingly, overwhelming numbers, the legions of darkness may have awakened forces even they cannot control, as the Chimera, ancient guardian of life, makes its’ final moves to preserve reality. Still, can a naive teenage girl, her chauffer, a university professor and a stage illusionist hold off the bizarre, powerful and dangerous creatures before they crush the Earth’s defenders? Ordinary people might fail, but the forces of darkness have made a grave error; their interference activating latent powers in the four, powers that are starting to manifest. Now, the hordes must face the Rise of the Chimera And in the back ground, the ancient evil plots treachery, its’ entry into our realm and the end of all hope.
