Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - We have now entered what has been called the biological century and with it, a new biopolitics has emerged to address the implications for America s collective value system, our well-being, and ultimately, our future. The Body Politic is the first book to recognize and assess this new force in our political landscape one that Democrats and Republicans, as well as Neocons and Green Party activists, have begun to see as a new way to organize their base. A member of President Obama s transition team for the Department of Health and Human Services, Moreno has also served as a senior staff member for three presidential advisory commissions and is uniquely qualified to address how different political factions approach the issues, how the founding fathers viewed the role of science in society, and how we might learn from them as we find a way through the endless controversies generated by new discoveries in medicine and biology.This is not a policy treatise, but an engaging history of the intersection between science and democracy in American life, a reasoned analysis of how different political ideologies view scientific controversies, and a vision for how the new biopolitics can help shape the future quality of American life.…
