-Titulo Original : The Genetic Lottery Why Dna Matters For Social Equality
-Fabricante :
Princeton University Press
-Descripcion Original:
Review An Economist Book of the YearA thought-provoking read.---Jerry Coyne, Washington PostThe Genetic Lottery is one of the most thought-provoking books Ive read this year.---Dan Falk, CBC RadioHarden diligently fights a desperate battle to enlist science to serve progressive social reform. Kirkus Reviews[An] outstanding new book. . . . It’s scientifically spot on, historically adroit, and excellently written. Required reading.---Adam Rutherford, A welcome resource for scholars and policy makers who want to advocate for and initiate equitable social changes with the help of reliable, expert knowledge.---J. F. Heberle, ChoiceThe ultimate claim of The Genetic Lottery is an extraordinarily ambitious act of moral entrepreneurialism. Harden argues that an appreciation of the role of simple genetic luck alongside all the other arbitrary lotteries of birth will make us, as a society, more inclined to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy lives of dignity and comfort.---Gideon Lewis-Kraus, New YorkerAn engagingly written and highly accessible account of how genes shape our lives. . . . [The Genetic Lottery] richly merits the widespread attention it has received.---Robert H. Frank, Administrative Science QuarterlyThe Genetic Lottery is a good read, peppered with relatable stories and examples. Harden pulls off the trick of simultaneously introducing a technical field to newcomers; addressing deep, specialist debates; and taking seriously the intersection of scientific and philosophical analyses of inequality.---Aaron Panofsky, Science[Harden] is a beautiful writer, weaving together personal narrative and complex technical concepts skillfully. Her writing is accessible to nonexperts, and the argument she makes that it is both valuable and politically progressive for researchers of social outcomes to study DNA is provocative. With this argument, The Genetic Lottery invites a necessary debate.---Daphne Oluwaseun Martschenko, Hastings Center ReportOne of the most impressive things about [The Genetic Lottery] is Harden’s crystal-clear exposition of complex scientific research and methods. This alone is a gift to the public and every scientist should be grateful to her for helping the public understand genomic research and causal inference.---Jonathan T. Rothwell, Rothwells NewsletterWhile acknowledging the roles our environment and experiences play in shaping our lives, Harden makes the case that social scientists who want to address the roots of inequality must reckon with genetics. . . . The more researchers understand about the myriad factors that influence how our lives turn out, the more they can help improve outcomes for everyone. Genetics is one of those factors, Harden argues: when we ignore it, the most vulnerable suffer.---Jennifer Latson, Texas MonthlyKathryn Paige Hardens The Genetic Lottery is both a novel contribution to this set and a novel kind of contribution, in that she does something much of the rest of this work does not: take a definite position on the political and social implications of behavioral genetics. . . . The book is a masterly tour of the state of the art of behavioral genetics and its relevance for pressing social questions.---Bryan Cwik, BioethicsIn creating a new synthesis that neither ignores the role of genetics nor misappropriates it, Harden acknowledges the importance the genetic lottery plays in shaping our life outcomes, while cautioning against misinterpreting the genetically laden differences among people as implying inborn, societal superiority. Harden examines the nascent field of behavioral genetics in an intellectually humble way, by detailing in lay terms the science of genetics and its applicability to differential life outcomes among people, and by incorporating this knowledge to advance social policies and social considerations that limit inequities.---Mark Rapala, International Social Science ReviewHarden has illuminated a path forward
