Описание: Superior tells the disturbing story of the persistent thread of belief in biological racial differences in the world of science. After the horrors of the Nazi regime in WWII, the mainstream scientific world turned its back on eugenics and the study of racial difference. But a worldwide network of unrepentant eugenicists quietly founded journals and funded research, providing the kind of shoddy studies that were ultimately cited in Richard Hernstein's and Charles Murray's 1994 title, The Bell Curve, which purported to show differences in intelligence among races. If the vast majority of scientists and scholars disavowed these ideas, and considered race a social construct, it was still an idea that managed to somehow make its way into the research into the human genome that began in earnest in the mid-1990s and continues today. Dissecting the statements and work of contemporary scientists studying human biodiversity, most of whom claim to be just following the data, Saini shows us how, again and again, science is retrofitted to accommodate race. Even as our understanding of highly complex traits like intelligence, and the complicated effect of environmental influences on human beings, from the molecular level on up, grows, the hope of finding simple genetic differences between races--to explain differing rates of disease, to explain poverty or test scores or to justify cultural assumptions--stubbornly persists. At a time when racialized nationalisms are a resurgent threat throughout the world, Superior is a powerful reminder that biologically, we are all far more alike than different.

Описание: An astute and timely examination of the re-emergence of scientific research into racial differences

Superior tells the disturbing story of the persistent thread of belief in biological racial differences in the world of science.

After the horrors of the Nazi regime in WWII, the mainstream scientific world turned its back on eugenics and the study of racial difference. But a worldwide network of unrepentant eugenicists quietly founded journals and funded research, providing the kind of shoddy studies that were ultimately cited in Richard Hernstein's and Charles Murray's 1994 title, The Bell Curve, which purported to show differences in intelligence among races.

If the vast majority of scientists and scholars disavowed these ideas, and considered race a social construct, it was still an idea that managed to somehow make its way into the research into the human genome that began in earnest in the mid-1990s and continues today. Dissecting the statements and work of contemporary scientists studying human biodiversity, most of whom claim to be just following the data, Saini shows us how, again and again, science is retrofitted to accommodate race. Even as our understanding of highly complex traits like intelligence, and the complicated effect of environmental influences on human beings, from the molecular level on up, grows, the hope of finding simple genetic differences between "races"--to explain differing rates of disease, to explain poverty or test scores or to justify cultural assumptions--stubbornly persists.

At a time when racialized nationalisms are a resurgent threat throughout the world, Superior is a powerful reminder that biologically, we are all far more alike than different.

Описание:

To achieve greatness in this life, we need to have a vision, a goal. When we are aware of our ancestors and our cultural heritage, we have a starting point, a real sense of where our lives began. We came to this country by our own will, with a rich culture from India. We struggled but worked hard with endless determination to be financially secure in this new country. We overcame many challenges and obstacles. After fifty-one years of living in this wonderful country and having two generations of our family growing up here, I now realize that our children are not fully aware of the vast richness and glorious heritage of our ancestors. I believe that my generation is the only living link between our past in India and our future in the United States. It becomes my duty to collect all the information I can so that I can share it with my children. Please join me in this autobiography where I share my life's struggles, successes, and secrets throughout my personal and financial life. I hope this inspires my children, grandchildren, and future members of our family to dream bigger and achieve great things in their lives.

Описание: Refinery operations in complying with environmental laws and improving the overall efficiency of their operations. The authors approach has been recognized internationally as an integrated model that captures improved compliance and financial savings by reducing operating costs through dedicated pollution prevention programs. The focus is on refinery operations; however, the principles and general discussions are applicable to all manufacturing sectors. All business operations are faced with global challenges involving dynamic interactions between changing regulations, market competitiveness, and spiralling costs for raw materials and labour. It is impossible to separate environmental management issues and infra-structure investments from the primary strategies of any business. In fact, any company, facility, or refinery that focuses on pollution control as opposed to environmental management will not find itself in business over the next decade. There simply are too many costs and financial exposures to businesses that do not focus on continual improvement of their environmental performance. A commitment to continual improvement of environmental performance is increasingly becoming the standard of care for industry.
