Its astonishing what people can bear, as astonishing as the things people can do to one another. This is the story of one boy and the pain he suffered at the hands of people - adults - who should have known better.
John is one of too many children for his mum to cope with alone while his dad is off fighting in the Second World War, so he is sent to a foster family for the duration. However, they arent much of a family, and John is subjected to some appalling abuse. He is only six years old.
Things seem to look up for John when his father returns from the war to rescue him and, at last, his...

Cloning - few words have as much potential to grip our imagination or grab the headlines. No longer the stuff of science fiction or Star Wars - it is happening now. Yet human cloning is currently banned throughout the world, and therapeutic cloning banned in many countries. In this highly controversial book, John Harris does a lot more than ask why we are so afraid of cloning. He presents a deft and informed defence of human cloning, carefully exposing the rhetorical and highly dubious arguments against it. He begins with an introduction to what a human clone is, before tackling some of...

Enhancing Evolution defends biotechnological interventions that could allow us to live longer, healthier, and even happier lives by, for example, providing us with immunity...

An Anglican clergyman and fellow of the Royal Society, John Harris (c.1666 1719) was an important promulgator of Newtonian science, through private teaching, public lectures and published writing. His Lexicon Technicum (1704) may be considered the first encyclopaedia in English. In the present work, published in 1719, Harris presents for his well-to-do readership a series of didactic conservations between a gentleman of science and an aristocratic lady. He aims to induce 'persons of birth and fortune' to dedicate some of their 'happy leisure to the improvement of their minds', and uses quotes...
