Cover of Beyond humanity?

Beyond humanity?

Allen Buchanan

"This book examines the ethical controversy surrounding biomedical enhancement: the use of biotechnologies to improve normal human capacities and characteristics. It deflates the heated rhetoric of the debate and, unlike other treatment of the topic, is informed by an understanding of evolutionary biology. The book debunks the idea that the natural is always good, and explains why and how we might need to change human nature"--Publisher description.

Cover of Je suis déterminé

Je suis déterminé

David Parker

Chaque titre de cette collection à caractère didactique invite les enfants à réfléchir sur divers comportements, attitudes et valeurs morales qui favorisent les bonnes relations en société et l'épanouissement personnel. Le texte, rythmé par la répétition, tient en une courte phrase par page, s'appuie sur des exemples clairs et se clôt sur une question qui engage le jeune lecteur à expliquer comment il peut intégrer les notions apprises à son propre quotidien. Une piste d'exploitation pédagogique est proposée par l'auteur sur la quatrième de couverture. -- Des illustrations naïves animent la plaquette ayant tour à tour la saveur des textes moralisateurs et des mantras. [SDM].
