Medical publisher Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., US, has announced the publication of a new volume of the Controversies in Science and Technology series. The Controversies in Science and Technology Volume 2: From Climate to Chromosomes presents an in-depth exploration of hot topics in modern science and technology that is accessible to a broad audience. The book is edited by Daniel Lee Kleinman, Karen A. Cloud-Hansen, Christina Matta, and Jo Handelsman of University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The book takes a unique approach, using multiple experts of diverse and often clashing viewpoints to explore each of the volume's five topics-Stem Cell Research, Information Technology, Space Exploration, Global Warming, and Biology and Gender.
The new volume fills an important gap in offerings on science and technology, providing scientists, social scientists, and the lay public with in-depth analysis of issues that confront every citizen of the earth. The provocative essays simultaneously educate and challenge the reader by providing the scientific, religious, public policy, and societal issues presented by the latest, groundbreaking technological advances. These essays provide sufficient background and diversity of opinion to enable a reader to form reasoned opinions and make informed decisions, thereby empowering the reader to join in the public debate.The full table of contents and list of contributors is available online at http://www.liebertpub.com/toc.aspx?pub_id=254.
