Genethics - David Heyd - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Unprecedented advances in medicine, genetic engineering, and demographic forecasting raise new questions that strain the categories and assumptions of traditional ethical theories. Heyd's approach resolves many paradoxes in intergenerational justice, while offering a major test case for the profound problems of the limits of ethics and the nature of value. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology.

The Anthropology of Sport - Susan Brownell - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

The Anthropology of Sport - Susan Brownell - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Few activities bring together physicality, emotions, politics, money, and morality as dramatically as sport. In Brazil's stadiums or parks in China, on Cuba's baseball diamonds or rugby fields in Fiji, human beings test their physical limits, invest emotional energy, bet money, perform witchcraft, and ingest substances, making sport a microcosm of what life is about. The Anthropology of Sport explores not only what anthropological thinking tells us about sports, but also what sports tell us about the ways in which the sporting body is shaped by and shapes the social, cultural, political, and historical contexts in which we live. Core themes discussed in this book include the body, modernity, nationalism, the state, citizenship, transnationalism, globalization, and gender and sexuality.

Law and Society Today - Riaz Tejani - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Law and Society Today - Riaz Tejani - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Law and Society Today is a problem-oriented survey of sociolegal studies, with a unique emphasis on recent historical and political developments. Whereas other texts focus heavily on criminal procedure, this book foregrounds the significant changes of the 2000s and 2010s, including neoliberalism, migration, multiculturalism, and the large influence of law and economics in law teaching, policy debates, and judicial decision-making. Each chapter presents key concepts, real-world applications, and hypothetical problems that allow students to test comprehension. With an integrated approach to theory and practice and written in an accessible tone, this text helps students recognize the dynamic forces that shape the way the law is constructed and implemented, particularly how law drives social inequality.

Global Climate Change and California - - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Global Climate Change and California - - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

California's extraordinary ecological and economic diversity has brought it prosperity, pollution, and overpopulation. These factors and the state's national and international ties make California an essential test case for the impact of global climate change--temperature increases, water shortages, more ultraviolet radiation. The scientists in this forward-looking volume give their best estimates of what the future holds. Beginning with an overview by Joseph Knox, the book discusses the greenhouse effect, the latest climate modeling capabilities, the implications of climate change for water resources, agriculture, biological ecosystems, human behavior, and energy. The warning inherent in a scenario of unchecked population growth and energy use in California applies to residents of the entire planet. The sobering conclusions related here include recommendations for research that will help us all prepare for potential climate change.

Savage Dreams - Rebecca Solnit - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Savage Dreams - Rebecca Solnit - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

"A beautiful, absorbing, tragic book."--Larry McMurtry In 1851, a war began in what would become Yosemite National Park, a war against the indigenous inhabitants. A century later--in 1951--and a hundred and fifty miles away, another war began when the U.S. government started setting off nuclear bombs at the Nevada Test Site. It was called a nuclear testing program, but functioned as a war against the land and people of the Great Basin. In this foundational book of landscape theory and environmental thinking, Rebecca Solnit explores our national Eden and Armageddon and offers a pathbreaking history of the west, focusing on the relationship between culture and its implementation as politics. In a new preface, she considers the continuities and changes of these invisible wars in the context of our current climate change crisis, and reveals how the long arm of these histories continue to inspire her writing and hope.

Homelessness Is a Housing Problem - Clayton Page Aldern - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Homelessness Is a Housing Problem - Clayton Page Aldern - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Using rich and detailed data, this groundbreaking book explains why homelessness has become a crisis in America and reveals the structural conditions that underlie it. In Homelessness Is a Housing Problem, Gregg Colburn and Clayton Page Aldern seek to explain the substantial regional variation in rates of homelessness in cities across the United States. In a departure from many analytical approaches, Colburn and Aldern shift their focus from the individual experiencing homelessness to the metropolitan area. Using accessible statistical analysis, they test a range of conventional beliefs about what drives the prevalence of homelessness in a given city—including mental illness, drug use, poverty, weather, generosity of public assistance, and low-income mobility—and find that none explain the regional variation observed across the country. Instead, housing market conditions, such as the cost and availability of rental housing, offer a far more convincing account. With rigor and clarity, Homelessness Is a Housing Problem explores U.S. cities' diverse experiences with housing precarity and offers policy solutions for unique regional contexts.

Thai Peasant Personality - Herbert P. Phillips - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Thai Peasant Personality - Herbert P. Phillips - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Readers interested in the psychology of non-Western peoples will find this volume provocative in both descriptive and theoretical detail. The first book-length study of Thai psychological life, Thai Peasant Personality describes the members of a peasant community whose dominant personality traits are aimed at the maintenance of their individuality, privacy, and sense of self-regard. In addition, it offers suggestions for handling many of the theoretical and technical problems crucial to cross-cultural personality research. Basing his research on two years of fieldwork in the Central Plain community of Bang Chan, Herbert P. Phillips offers a systematic analysis and comparison of two kinds of data: observations of the villagers’ overt behavior in workaday social encounters, and their subjective responses to a special psychological test. Readers will find particular value in his discussion of the design, translation, and implementation of psychological research methods in non-Western cultures. Phillips analyzes the central role of affability and play in the villagers’ daily contacts, their use of politeness as a “social cosmetic,” and the implications of this cosmetic for the inner lives of the Thai. He examines the villagers’ readiness to become involved with others and the links that tie them together over time. He demonstrates how the individualistic tendencies of the Thai intrude on the stability of interpersonal relationships and how all social interactionin Bang Chan is set within a framework of cosmic unpredictability, with human volition only one of several indeterminate and uncontrollable factors in life. This “loosely structured” system of social relationships is seen to have its roots in early childhood, with strong support from both Hinayana Buddhist doctrine and the sociologically simple and undifferentiated nature of Bang Chan society. In presenting the psychological test results, the author examines the villagers’ attitudes toward authority, dependency, and aggression; their anxieties and reactions to crises; and their dominant drives and wishes. These various issues are linked to the theoretical problem of conformity and to the basic human need for privacy and psychological isolation. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology.

Plants on Islands - Martin L. Cody - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Plants on Islands - Martin L. Cody - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

This thorough and meticulous study, the result of nearly a quarter-century of research, examines the island biogeography of plants on continental islands in Barkley Sound, British Columbia. Invaluable both because of its geographical setting and because of the duration of the study, Plants on Islands summarizes the diversity, dynamics, and distribution of the approximately three hundred species of plants on more than two hundred islands. Martin Cody uses his extensive data set to test various aspects of island biogeographic theory. His thoughtful analysis, constrained by taxon and region, elucidates and enhances the understanding of the biogeographic patterns and dynamics. He provides an overview of the basic theory, concepts, and analytical tools of island biogeography. Also discussed are island relaxation to lower equilibrium species numbers post-isolation, plant distributions variously limited by island area, isolation and climatic differences, adaptation to local abiotic and biotic environments within islands, and the evolution of different island phenotypes. The book concludes with a valuable consideration of equilibrium concepts and of the interplay of coexistence and competition. Certain to challenge, Plants on Islands is among the first books to critically analyze the central tenets of the theory of island biogeography.

A Functional Biology of Sticklebacks - R. J. Woolton - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

A Functional Biology of Sticklebacks - R. J. Woolton - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Explore the fascinating world of the threespine stickleback in A Functional Biology of Sticklebacks, a compelling synthesis of empirical research and theoretical ecology. This groundbreaking book uses the stickleback, a versatile teleost fish, as a model organism to illuminate the intricate relationships between environmental factors, life-history strategies, and evolutionary processes. With their global distribution, remarkable variability, and adaptability to diverse habitats, sticklebacks offer a unique opportunity to test ecological and evolutionary theories in real-world contexts. From their energy budgets to their reproductive strategies, this book provides a holistic view of how these fish thrive in dynamic and often hostile environments. Structured around a functional input-output framework, the book delves into the physiological, morphological, and behavioral mechanisms that enable sticklebacks to convert resources into reproductive success. It highlights the pivotal role of natural selection and ecological interactions—such as predation, competition, and parasitism—in shaping their growth, survival, and reproduction. With its seamless integration of theoretical models and empirical data, A Functional Biology of Sticklebacks not only sheds light on this remarkable fish family but also sets a precedent for studying life-history strategies across other species. Perfect for students, researchers, and enthusiasts of ecology and evolutionary biology, this book is a testament to the power of merging theory with biological reality.

Democrats and Progressives - Allen Yarnell - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Democrats and Progressives - Allen Yarnell - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Democrats and Progressives: The 1948 Presidential Election as a Test of Postwar Liberalism examines the role and influence of the 1948 Progressive Party, led by Henry A. Wallace, on the Democratic Party during one of the most pivotal elections in American history. Third parties have historically shaped U.S. politics by drawing attention to critical issues, but the Progressive Party's focus on foreign policy set it apart. Wallace's campaign, which criticized U.S. foreign actions, faced accusations of being un-American and soft on Communism, undermining its broader appeal. Despite claims by Wallace and his supporters that their efforts forced President Truman to adopt progressive policies, the evidence suggests otherwise. Historical analyses, including Truman's own accounts, indicate that the Progressive Party's presence did not shift the Democrats' policies leftward. Instead, it may have bolstered Truman's position by allowing him to adopt firm foreign policy stances, ultimately contributing to his victory. While some historians, like Rexford Tugwell and Curtis MacDougall, argue for the Progressives' impact, others counter that the Democrats' strategy was already aligned with centrist and pragmatic goals before the Wallace movement gained traction. This study challenges the notion that third parties always influence major parties positively, suggesting that in 1948, the Progressives served more as a foil than a catalyst for Democratic success. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.
