Unravel the complex themes of race and science in 'Is Science Racist?', a compelling exploration by Jonathan Marks. This insightful book delves into the historical and scientific underpinnings of race, questioning age-old assumptions about human inequality. Drafted with precision, Marks connects the past eugenics movement to contemporary genomic science, unveiling how the fallacies surrounding race persist in today’s society. With a scholarly yet engaging tone, this essay exposes the misconceptions that race is a natural category defined by biology. Instead, he posits that understanding race demands a multidisciplinary approach, integrating insights from the humanities, history, and politics. Perfect for students, educators, and anyone interested in the intersections of science, race, and society, 'Is Science Racist?' promises to challenge your perspective and provoke critical thought. Dive into this enlightening read and discover why the dialogue around race in science is as relevant now as ever.

Description:
Every arena of science has its own flash-point issues”chemistry and poison gas, physics and the atom bomb”and genetics has had a troubled history with race. As Jonathan Marks reveals, this dangerous relationship rumbles on to this day, still leaving plenty of leeway for a belief in the basic natural inequality of races.The eugenic science of the early twentieth century and the commodified genomic science of today are unified by the mistaken belief that human races are naturalistic categories. Yet their boundaries are founded neither in biology nor in genetics and, not being a formal scientific concept, race is largely not accessible to the scientist. As Marks argues, race can only be grasped through the humanities: historically, experientially, politically. This wise, witty essay explores the persistence and legacy of scientific racism, which misappropriates the authority of science and undermines it by converting it into a social weapon.

Nice, lightweight blanket for cool rooms. Probably a bit light for a COLD room.
Color: Dark Grey, Size: Queen
This is a nice soft lightweight blanket. The only problem I have is they don't come in a "standard" mattress size, so you order something that may (does in my case) touch the floor. I'd have said they drag the floor, but that only happens when you move the bed around the room with the blanket in place. An unhandy way to clean the floor, so I don't recommend it.

Summer perfect! Soft and light
Color: White, Size: Twin
I bought 3. As soon as I opened the bag there was an odor to them. They didn’t feel like made with natural products. I washed them & when they came out of the dryer they smelled good & are so soft. I will order other colors.

Impossible to keep clean
Color: White, Size: Queen, Color: White, Size: Queen
Great blanket. How TF are you supposed to keep it clean? They provide garment bag, but my zipper broke before I could even use it. I had one of these before and my ex lost the bag, so I had no idea it even came with one. These rip and get burned in the dryer. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY
