Download or read book Evolution s Rainbow written by Joan Roughgarden and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2013-09-14 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this innovative celebration of diversity and affirmation of individuality in animals and humans, Joan Roughgarden challenges accepted wisdom about gender identity and sexual orientation. A distinguished evolutionary biologist, Roughgarden takes on the medical establishment, the Bible, social science—and even Darwin himself. She leads the reader through a fascinating discussion of diversity in gender and sexuality among fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals, including primates. Evolution's Rainbow explains how this diversity develops from the action of genes and hormones and how people come to differ from each other in all aspects of body and behavior. Roughgarden reconstructs primary science in light of feminist, gay, and transgender criticism and redefines our understanding of sex, gender, and sexuality. Witty, playful, and daring, this book will revolutionize our understanding of sexuality. Roughgarden argues that principal elements of Darwinian sexual selection theory are false and suggests a new theory that emphasizes social inclusion and control of access to resources and mating opportunity. She disputes a range of scientific and medical concepts, including Wilson's genetic determinism of behavior, evolutionary psychology, the existence of a gay gene, the role of parenting in determining gender identity, and Dawkins's "selfish gene" as the driver of natural selection. She dares social science to respect the agency and rationality of diverse people; shows that many cultures across the world and throughout history accommodate people we label today as lesbian, gay, and transgendered; and calls on the Christian religion to acknowledge the Bible's many passages endorsing diversity in gender and sexuality. Evolution's Rainbow concludes with bold recommendations for improving education in biology, psychology, and medicine; for democratizing genetic engineering and medical practice; and for building a public monument to affirm diversity as one of our nation's defining principles.
Download or read book The Rainbow Animal written by Oliver Eade and published by Silver Quill Publishing. This book was released on 2022-10-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rachel, a Texan schoolgirl, takes her hamster, Waffles, for a secret ride on a colourful carousel Rainbow Animal in Houston, Texas. She ends up in Colourwallytown where all the people and houses are painted bright colours and where she is mistaken for their new military advisor in an impending war with the neighbouring black and white town, Dullabillieville. The reason for the war appears to be a dispute over the colour, or the lack of colour, of witches and fish. Rachel sees her studious classmate, Alec, dismount from a carousel zebra and end up in Dullabillieville. Taken in by a kind landlady, Mrs Pink, Rachel's hair, shoes and, by mistake, Waffles, are dyed pink to conform with Colorwally regulations. At a Council of War with President Banana, his nail-painting wife, First Lady Violet, the sheriff, sergeant and a batty General Greengage, the fact that she has no sensible military strategy seems of no importance to the town's leaders. Sheriff Tomato, the nervous Colorwally sheriff, and Sergeant Lobster cause Rachel to giggle most of the time as she leads the Colorwally troops, armed with paint brushes and the formidable 'paint tank', across the river to turn the Dullabillieville river-front houses pretty colours. They meet no resistance in Dullabillieville, apart from the Dullabillie lieutenant's two small children who are having fun splashing coloured paint over themselves. Rachel soon discovers the Dullabillie army is on the other side of the river busily turning Colorwallytown black, white and grey. Frightened that the two sides might actually come to blows if they meet each other, and scare Waffles, the girl decides a treaty is called for. Besides, she doesn't believe in witches. She returns to Colorwallytown to seek out Alec, the new Dullabilly military advisor. Together they scheme to hold a tea party for the opposing factions and arrange a cease-fire. Presidents Banana and Coalface are invited, but only allowed to have pieces of Mrs Pink's gorgeous cake if both agree to stop hostilities and sign 'The Treaty of Waffles'. Mrs Pink, a widow, is delighted, for she can now offer to look after the children of the Dullabillie lieutenant, Mr Whitestone, a widower whom she secretly likes. Back at the carousel Rachel and Alec dodge the unpleasant true Colorwally military advisor, Turkey Cupcake, and stop him from getting hold of the Treaty.. On Rachel's return to the mall in Houston, astride the Rainbow Animal, she finds her mother still reading a magazine on a bench. Only three minutes have passed since the girl last saw her. When she sees Alec holding the Treaty of Waffles, having just dismounted from the zebra, she knows she didn't imagine it all. Alec leaves the treaty in the safe hands of the lady who takes the tokens at the carousel kiosk, and he and Rachel become good friends. Rachel spreads the word around that children who believe in witches are silly, and that Alec, unpopular because he's so brainy, is the bravest boy in the school. Although the the two children disagree about things such as why Sheriff Tomato blinks a lot when he gets nervous, they are agreed on one point: that war is stupid.

Download or read book Meet Me at the Rainbow Bridge written by Kenneth Newman DVM and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-06-25 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Me at the Rainbow Bridge begins with a tragic accident in which a careless driver backs up 25 yards without looking, pinning Dr. Newman and his beloved Labrador, Gracie, between his family station wagon and the driver's bumper. Dr. Newman's life story is narrated in retrospect, emphasizing the importance of the dogs that have shared his life. It is furthermore an appeal to the hearts and minds of pet owners that the legal status of pets must be elevated above the level of mere property, the status they are now granted in our legal system. Ninety percent of pet owners now consider their pets to be family members. The owner of a pet that is killed through an accidental act of negligence or a deliberate act of malice can only receive the cash value for their pet. Dr. Newman presents his view that the laws of the land are out of touch with the public's sentiment.
