The work draws on interviews with men and women born in 1949/50 who attended two schools: one in the closed city of Saratov and the other in Moscow. Both were prestigious schools and most graduates went on to college and interesting careers: they make lucid and articulate companions to travel through the Soviet Union of the post-Stalin era. Raleigh’s monograph takes us through the different chapters of their lives – childhood, school, college, adult family life, work – and in doing so traces…

The thought of eugenics has been around ever since Gregor Mendel first started cross-breeding plants to get the best product. But would it be taken too far if eugenicists were able to manipulate human DNA? The ability to genetically edit humans is desirable (just think about how desirable plastic surgery has become), but it would come with many consequences, some that make the advance seem unnecessary. Let us take a look into similar applications and a few of the flaws of human engineering…

The story follows from the very ideas of rebellion through to the corruption at the hands of a pig called Napoleon, who takes the role of a dictator and starts to act as if he were human. The message to Orwell's classic is to explain that though a great idea in…

Most fossils are found within layers of sedimentary rocks called strata. Deeper strata are usually older and therefore fossils from different time period can be compared. Analysis of fossils from different strata suggests that more complex, modern organisms evolved from simpler, more ancient organisms.Imprint fossils are one example of fossils that died and been buried and the sediments get preserved. Biogeography is the study of species distributions. It examines how species have been…
