Clean, no markings at all except minimal library marks, no pocket or card; gently used, pages clean, no underlining or highlighting; binding solid, tight and square. For anyone interested in basing political decisions on facts rather than other people's opinions.

He also discusses the emerging biopolitics of today--greens, transhumanists, bioconservatives, technoprogressives--and provides a thoughtful defense of inquiry, innovation, and the power of science. 207 pages with References, Notes, and Index. 6 x 9 inches. 2011, Bellevue Literary Press, New York, New York, USA
