Описание: A fascinating examination of the way that many scientists and politicians have sought to use Charles Darwin's ideas to solve social problems, or to bolster political ideologiesCharles Darwin not only sparked a revolution in science, but gave birth to ideas that acquired a political dimension from the outset, one with a deeply troubling and ongoing impact. Social Darwinism, eugenics, and scientific racialism--whose adherents have all claimed Charles Darwin as their inspiration--became associated with some of the darkest episodes in our recent past. This beautifully crafted narrative follows the thread of theory and the historical footprints left by a myriad cast of key characters to tell an often shocking and sometimes heartbreaking story. This book shows us what drove people to put a black man on display in a zoo, forcibly sterilize a pair of innocent teenage sisters, lock up a British girl for 18 years for a petty theft, murder disabled people in Nazi Germany, and slam shut America's "Golden Door." In a world where the gene becomes ever more central, the fresh and stimulating arguments presented here make this an explosive, essential, and utterly intriguing book.

Описание: A horse in nineteenth-century England recounts his experiences with both good and bad masters.
From the author of "Red Star Rogue," the controversial account of the destruction of the USS "Scorpion," the nuclear submarine that sank with ninety-nine crewmen aboard in 1968--an event that was officially attributed to accident.
The tragedy of the USS "Scorpion"--and the lingering mystery of what caused it to sink in 10,000 feet of water on the eastern edge of the Sargasso Sea--has been widely written about. "All Hands Down "shows how the Soviet plot to exact revenge for the loss of a Russian sub was executed and explains why the truth of the attack has been officially denied for forty years. Sewell and Preisler debunk various official explanations for the tragedy and bring to life the personal stories of some of the men who were lost when "Scorpion "went to the bottom.
