The Man Who Stole Himself: The Slave Odyssey of Hans Jonathan
ISBN: 9780226313283 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The island nation of Iceland is known for many things--majestic landscapes, volcanic eruptions, distinctive seafood--but racial diversity is not one of them. So the little-known story of Hans Jonathan, a free black man who lived and raised a family in early nineteenth-century Iceland, is improbable and compelling, the stuff of novels.
In The Man Who Stole Himself, Gisli Palsson lays out the story of Hans Jonathan (also known as Hans Jonatan) in stunning detail. Born into slavery in St. Croix in 1784, Hans was taken as a slave to Denmark, where he eventually enlisted in the navy and...

Beyond Boundaries: Understanding, Translation and Anthropological Discourse
ISBN: 9781859730218 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Anthropology, it is often argued, is an art of translation. Recently, however, social theorists have raised serious doubts about the translator's enterprise. Over the last few years the human social and ecological habitat has seen spectacular developments. Modern humans inhabit a 'global village' in a very genuine sense. What lessons may be learned from these developments for anthropology? In Beyond Boundaries, ten anthropologists from different countries address the problem of social understanding and cultural translation from different theoretical as well as ethnographic...

Anthropology and the New Genetics
ISBN: 9780521671743 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The growth of 'new genetics' has dramatically increased our understanding of health, diseases and the body. Anthropologists argue that these scientific advances have had far-reaching social and cultural implications, radically changing our self-understanding and perception of what it means to be human; that we have become 'biomedicalized', fragmented and commodified - redefining our notions of citizenship, social relations, family and identity. This book shows how anthropology can contribute to and challenge the ways we have come to understand genetic issues. Exploring a range of issues and...

Can Science Resolve the Nature / Nurture Debate?
ISBN: 9780745689968 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Following centuries of debate about "nature and nurture" the discovery of DNA established the idea that nature (genes) determines who we are, relegating nurture (environment) to icing on the cake.
Since the 1950s, the new science of epigenetics has demonstrated how cellular environments and certain experiences and behaviors influence gene expression at the molecular level, with significant implications for health and wellbeing. To the amazement of scientists, mapping the human genome indirectly supported these insights. Anthropologists Margaret Lock and Gisli Palsson outline...
