Like all the Hamiltons before her, Sydney Hamilton was born on Oberon Island. The Island in the Chesapeake Bay stood witness to a family history that dated back to colonial America. Pirates had invaded it, the underground railroad had stopped there, glittering fetes had been held within its walls. Oberon held all the enchanted memories of childhood. And now in 1948, as twenty-one-year-old Sydney divides her time between classes at Wellesley and weekends in New York, she believes Oberon will always be there - as a haven from all the challenges the world can offer an ambitious young woman with every advantage of wealth and privilege." "Then Sydney meets struggling actor Jordan Eliot, and another world beckons. Cut off by her father - the owner and publisher of the New York Chronicle - Sydney travels from a cold-water flat in Manhattan to a Hollywood mansion...only to discover that all the glitter of Jordan's steadily rising star merely serves to diminish the luster of her own." "Restless and discontented as the wife of a Hollywood actor, Sydney returns to New York with her two small daughters. There, she confronts her father and demands her rightful place on the family newspaper. But as she fulfills one dream beyond her wildest expectations, other, more intimate dreams will be challenged. Yet through it all, her love for Jordan Eliot will endure."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

How could they win the Earth? They were Anarkhists. Black and white, Gay and straight, diverse in many ways, Poor and semi-affluent-‘Middle-Class,’ spending their young lives protesting government atrocities. They believed their society needed a Revolution, but how long would it be before the Poor and the Oppressed rose up to take their planet and their civilization back from the monsters who held them all in thrall? And how violent would that Revolution need to be? How could they practice living together in equality before the Revolution? One woman thought she had the answer: a way to make a peaceful Revolution so that no one — no Black people, no Poor people, no dedicated Activists, no LGBTQ, and no one Oppressed by a vicious economic system — needed to be killed by the violent push-back of the greedy-Rich. She told her idea to her fiancé, a young activist with some family money who could donate the 100 acres of land needed. Building their own mortgage-free, solar-powered housing, they became an Egalitarian-Commune, pretending to be starry-eyed dropouts from 21st-century Conservative-leaning cultures in Canada, the USA and Mexico. In their own Charter School, outside government control, they intended to educate all the Commune’s children in the civilized ideals of the Sharing and Diversity of Voluntary-Socialism. They believed in the Equality of all people, Christian or not, of whatever Ability to Make Money, or whatever their Colour, Gender, or sexual orientation. But they discovered they were under surveillance. . . . * * * “We’ve caught a spy.” He gestured toward the mashed insect-sized drone on the glass plate under the dissecting-microscope. “Ah, yes, a modern miracle of miniaturization. Who mashed it?” “I did,” David said. “Why?” “I thought it was an insect biting me.” “I wish you hadn’t been so good at destroying it,” Allison mumbled, peering intently into the microscopic world. “That thing is an Enemy,” he said. “Sorry I couldn’t have been more gentle.” She again peered through the microscope at the wreck of the Enemy drone. “Clever,” she said. “They can attach themselves anywhere. That plastic camouflage-carapace gives it a mutable pattern to match whatever the background might be. These damned things were designed to be unnoticed as they spy on us. Even in people’s bedrooms, I’ll bet, via infrared. . . .” “We don’t know how many of those damned things are all around us, or how long we’ve been spied on,” David snarled.
This is the only book about the X chromosome as a key to female development and the role of X-related factors in the etiology of sex differences in human disease. This new edition reflects research advances from the six years since the widely praised first edition.
Recent debate about the ethical and regulatory dimensions of developments in genetics has sidelined societal and cultural aspects, which arguably are indispensable for a nuanced understanding of the complexities of the topic. Regulatory and ethical debates benefit from taking seriously this ’third dimension’ of culture, which often determines the configurations and limits of the space within which scientific, ethical and legal debate can take place. To fill this gap, this volume brings together contributions exploring the mutual relationships between genetics, markets, societies and identities in genetics and genomics. It draws upon the recent transdisciplinary debate on how socio-cultural factors influence understandings of ’genetics2.0' and shows how individual and collective identities are challenged or reinforced by cultural meanings and practices of genetics. This book will become a standard reference for everyone seeking to make sense of the controversies and shifts in the field of genetics in the second decade of the twenty-first century.
