Synthesizing Nature-nurture: Prenatal Roots of Instinctive Behavior
ASIN: 0805840826 |
Book Description
This work is intended to portray the interrelationship of heredity, individual development, and the evolution of species in a way that can be understood by nonspecialists. In striving to offer a straightforward historical exposition of the complex topic of nature and nurture, the author tells the story through a central cast of characters beginning with Lamarck in 1809 and ending with a synthesis of his own that depicts how extragenetic behavioral changes in individual development could be the first stages in the pathway leading to evolutionary change. On the way to that goal, he describes relevant conceptual aspects of genetics, embryological development, and evolutionary biology in a nontechnical and accurate way for students and colleagues in the behavioral and social sciences. The book presents a highly selected review as a prelude to the description of a developmental theory of the phenotype in which behavioral change leads eventually to evolutionary change.
This book grew out of an invited interdisciplinary course of lectures for advanced undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Presenting the various ways about thinking about heredity, individual development, and evolution, the author had three goals in mind:
*to establish the relevance of individual development to the evolution of species;
*to describe the most appropriate way to think about or conceptualize heredity in relation to individual development;
*to show that this somewhat unorthodox manner of conceptualizing heredity and individual development gives rise to a new way to think about the behavioral pathway leading to evolution.
In conclusion, the present work will provide a contribution toward the possible dissolution of the nature-nurture dichotomy, as well as a contribution to evolutionary theory.

Book Description
From the best-selling author of
A Vast Conspiracy and
The Run of His Life comes
Too Close to Call--the definitive story of the Bush-Gore presidential recount. A political and legal analyst of unparalleled journalistic skill, Jeffrey Toobin is the ideal writer to distill the events of the thirty-six anxiety-filled days that culminated in one of the most stunning Supreme Court decisions in history.
Packed with news-making disclosures and written with the drive of a legal thriller,
Too Close to Call takes us inside James Baker's private jet, through the locked gates to Al Gore's mansion, behind the covered-up windows of Katherine Harris's office, and even into the secret conference room of the United States Supreme Court. As the scene shifts from Washington to Austin and into the remote corners of the enduringly strange Sunshine State, Toobin's book will transform what you thought you knew about the most extraordinary political drama in American history.
The Florida recount unfolded in a kaleidoscopic maze of bizarre concepts (chads, pregnant and otherwise), unfamiliar people in critically important positions (the Florida Supreme Court), and familiar people in surprising new places (the Miami relatives of Elián González, in a previously undisclosed role in this melodrama). With the rich characterization that is his trademark, Toobin portrays the prominent strategists who masterminded the campaigns--the Daleys and the Roves--and also the lesser-known but influential players who pulled the strings, as well as the judges and justices whose decisions determined the final outcome. Toobin gives both camps a treatment they have not yet received--remarkably evenhanded, nonpartisan, and entirely new.
The post-election period posed a challenge to even the most zealous news junkie: how to keep up with what was happening and sort out the important from the trivial. Jeffrey Toobin has now done this--and then some. With clarity, insight, humor, and a deep understanding of the law, he deconstructs the events, the players, and the often Byzantine intricacies of our judicial system. A remarkable account of one of the most significant periods in our country's history,
Too Close to Call is endlessly surprising, frequently poignant, and wholly addictive.
Download Description
The bestselling author of The Run of His Life and A Vast Conspiracy turns his incomparable journalistic insight to the biggest news event of 2000 and distills the complex Bush-Gore postelection drama into a definitive and completely engrossing narrative.
Customer Reviews:
not a bad work of fiction.......2006-03-25
too bad that such an important subject was handled in such a biased way. even worse is that the facts were either only particaly used or twisted to fit the point mr. toobin was trying to make at the time. everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. this book should classified as fiction and not non-fiction.
A good read, if a bit biased.......2005-03-18
Jeff Toobin is a good writer - I enjoyed reading this book, just as I enjoyed his other book on the O.J. Simpson trial.
"Too Close To Call" is very Gore-centric, however, perhaps because Toobin himself is a Democrat and has made no secret of the fact that he thinks Al Gore should have won the 2000 election. But his bias doesn't distract too much from the interesting tidbits he provides about the campaigns, both before and after election day.
I do recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in the historic 2000 election fight, but be aware that Toobin is far from an impartial commentator.
The liberal bias is made somewhat less annoying by the fact that Bush ran away with Florida in 2004, winning the state easily.
One More Tired Election Book....Another Gore Whine..........2005-03-08
I've never cared for Jeffrey Toobin's commentary on CNN. (I did recommend - in place of this book - Jeff Greenfield's, "One Order of Crow"). His obvious bias detract from a man who is articulate and handsome enough to attract attention.
This is another 'the Republicans stole the election' tome - and a wasted one at that. I wish to make a few points to those who have argued (like Toobin's book) that the election was somehow 'stolen' or people were 'disenfranchised.'
1. Gore did not lose the election because he lost Florida; he lost it because he failed to carry his home state of Tennessee (Jeff Greenfield is one of the few to honestly point this out).
2. The butterfly ballot DID confuse people. However, it was approved by a DEMOCRAT named Theresa LePore and published in the papers the Sunday before the election. How this is the Republicans' fault is beyond my ability to comprehend.
3. Judge Sauls is a registered DEMOCRAT - and even Sauls saw the insanity in allowing selective recounts in only Democratic counties. Had Gore applied to a statewide recount as opposed to an obvious vote search recount, people would have taken it much better.
4. Katherine Harris was unquestionably in Bush's corner. But there is no evidence Harris did anything with the votes except certify them which was her job. That was even delayed by several days - so what's the problem?
5. The Supreme Court did NOT give Bush the election by a 5-4 count; they ruled SEVEN TO TWO that selective recounts violated the equal protection clause of the constitution. The 5-4 vote concerned the REMEDY NOT the violation of the law.
6. Why does nobody mention that Bush had NOTHING to do with the make-up of the Supreme Court? Gore had voted to confirm Scalia, Kennedy, and Souter, and his boss appointed Ginsburg and Breyer. Gore had also voted against Thomas. It seems that Gore had more personal involvement with the Court than Bush could have ever dreamed. Yes, Bush's father appointed two of them - but unless you wish to argue that Bush 41 knew his son would need the Supreme Court to be President years later, that is irrelevant.
Toobin's book was slightly entertaining, so I give it three stars. But Greenfield's takes you there in as unbiased a manner possible.
Overgrown New Yorker Article, Lucid About The Election.......2004-06-01
Written by probably America's most well-known media legal analyst, Jeffrey Toobin takes on the Floridian debacle of 2000 in his short book "Too Close to Call."
What it lacks in legal heft it makes up with journalistic breeze, with Toobin writing in the same lucid tone that he takes in the New Yorker, describing set pieces between Bush and Gore staffers not quite equally, but close enough. Perhaps Toobin is biased in his conclusions that Gore was jobbed, and this is where he may have wanted to shed some light on his own political views, ahem -- Democrat -- and this would clearly have strengthened his case. But after all is said and done, the guy lays enough foundation to support his theory that the Republicans were too ruthless and Al Gore was too spineless.
"Too Close to Call" never describes evidence of out-and-out fraud, but presents the conclusion that it sure would have been nice if the great State of Florida would have taken the time and just truly recounted all the votes, and points out matter-of-factly that in this scenario, Gore most likely would have won. Whether or not you're a Democrat or Republican, the idea that democracy itself was circumvented in this case is extremely troubling, and that's the pitch-perfect note Toobin leaves the reader with.
Surpisingly from a "legal" analyst, this book lacks strong legal analysis, or any legal background at all. There's hardly any references to appropriate statutes, case background, etc., that would really be advantageous for the discerning academic reader who wants to read something more substantive than an overgrown New Yorker article.
But as a huge fan of the New Yorker, such an article draws no real complaints here.
READ 'EM ALL AND LEARN HOW G.W. BUSH IS NOT REALLY OUR PRES........2004-03-25
Read all the election 2000 recount books and thus learn how G.W. Bush is not really our authentic president, rather an "illegal" or "alien" resident of the White House.
Toobin, as usual, is a great writer who tackles great subjects like the election 2000 re-count -- which the USSC on a five to four vote halted the re-count -- thus committing a non-violent coupe of the presidentcy and thus our country.

FUNNY, INSIGHTFUL, DELIGHTFUL!! A Must Read!.......2005-01-17
I regrettably inferred from the Winchester, KY reviewer that with the acquisition of whatever level of his/her education, a diploma was received to hang on the wall... accompanied by a very large chip, suitable for placing on the shoulder.
As a native of Breathitt County, Kentucky, I can attest that there are a "gaggle" of us "Ejucaided Rednecks in disguise" who are not only well-educated, but have been taught by the example of our forefathers, to engage with ease and versatility, as well as sincerity, in most any verbal exchange. (aka " We ain't got no problems talkin' to nobody about whatever a feller feels like talkin' about. But we're gonna tell 'em like it is!")
My own brother, a dentist, an accomplished pilot, a true Renaissance man, was renown for his hillbilly banter and humor. "Doc" had no qualms about calling an under-educated man his good friend And he utilized hillbilly-speak with a magnificent finesse! Doc appreciated a good pot of soupbeans, served with a hot pone of cornbread as much as a perfectly herbed chateaubriand. Please! We hillbillies can appreciate the finer things of life without stickin' our noses in the air, alienating our neighbors, and making pure fools out of ourselves!
I also have been blessed to glean from the many good people of eastern Kentucky, a sense of hospitality and a genuine wisdom that "book learnin'" alone can NEVER provide! I will now step down from my soapbox to LAUD THIS FINE BOOK (whew!):
The characters in this book are just about as real as they get! And the fact that Tooney is a Good Man, despite his flaws, makes this story a joy to read! That he doesn't trash his opponent, a veritable scoundrel,is the very essence of Tooney's character...and the very essence of many eastern Kentucky men.
The book's hero was the town's bad boy...and, yet,it's favorite son. One would be amazed at how often (in small Appalachian communities), this phenomenon occurs! The author knew that. One would have to absolutley know us to know that.
If you REALLY understand and appreciate the wit and wisdom of eastern Kentuckians, (myself being one of them), you will not be able to put this book down. If you do not know them, this book is a delightful and honest introduction!
The story is, agreeably, "fantastical", as another reviewer described...ah, but the joy and abandon of that fantastical tale! This is one of the most entertaining books I have ever read. There is some sort of jewel, some sort of treasure on almost every single page! End of story. Another soon, please, Mr. Kelsay.
Oh, Please!.......2004-07-17
Are you Ejucaided Redneck in disguise? This was yet another attempt to make money by continuing to stereotype eastern Kentuckians. *I* live in Winchester, and most of the people I know are nowhere near as provincial as the ones in this book. Also, the stereotype doesn't even stay true to form! One minute some good ol' boy is chawin' and spittin', while talking like a bad Jed Clampett makeover, and the next he is serving home-made gourmet food to his lady-love.
Better luck next time, Mr. Kelsay. Try writing about something you KNOW.
"Kentucky Meets Academe".......2002-09-15
What an engrossing read! And one of the reasons is the juxtaposition between the authentic Kentucky cast of characters & dialect & syntax and the superior, compact writing which makes generous use of 25-cent words (not 50-cent, mind you).
I will watch for future offerings from Mr. Kelsay, in hopes that they will be equally genuine but, like this one, slightly fantastical!
A Nice Guy...But So Forgiving?.......2001-12-23
Toomey Spooner is just one more feckless family member, despite holding a degree in English Literature from a big university. So it's a question of how really feckless can he be. Enough in his own mind, in any case, as well as in his girlfriend's; and deciding to do something about it at thirty-nine years of age, he campaigns for mayor of his Kentucky hometown where there is only one high school, suggesting that the position may not be much in either decision-making or recompense. His faithfully despicable opponent once sodomized a goat and although Toomey knows this, he refrains from letting it out to the populace, seeming to not consider at all why anyone with such information would not use it in order to keep such depravity from settling in the offices of government. But it's consistent with Toomey's forgiving ways as he allows a buffoonish wife-abuser still gunning for his ex-mate to attend his evening wedding festivities, an extraordinary affair which erases all villains from the story. While the English Lit major of Toomey Spooner raises some questions with this reader about the character's judgment, at the same time it's the spark of this story told in the first-person. Wonderfully fresh and evocative descriptions pop up everywhere and their abundance, along with the occasional digression, help to literarily (not literally) duplicate the pace of Kentucky small-town life. Overall, a good story and worth the time.
Spooner for Mayor.......2001-10-01
In a time where political analysis is an arm-chair past-time, "Spooner" wins us over in a campaign of self-discovery. In a land checkered with rivals, rouges, lovers, zaney relatives, and the damndest politics(!) change...or perhaps the lack of it...threatens the environment. If you have ever said that politics lacks honesty...you will quickly change your mind and embrace the universal and bittersweet truths of Kelsay's story. A good story and wonderful storytelling. Let go of the laughter! You'll want to read pages and pages out loud again and again.

Think of this one as the Hollywood Exec and the Bush Pilot.......2003-08-24
"Too Close To Call" by Barbara Dunlop is the second in a set of twin romances out from Harlequin Temptations this August about a pair of brothers separated at birth by circumstances that make for some interesting fun in the grand tradition of Mark Twain's "The Prince and the Pauper." In "Too Close For Comfort," written by Colleen Collins, Hollywood businessman Jeffrey Bradshaw came up to the Alaskan frontier to scout a location for a new television series. But his business plans and his heart were derailed by Cyd Thompson, a bush pilot for works for Jordan Adamson, who, as things turn out, is Jeffrey's twin brother. This matters because Jeffrey has a big meeting back in Los Angeles where his promotion is at stake and he cannot make it, fate having conspired against him with not only Cyd but a giant storm, and Jordan finds himself flying to Hollywood to pretend to be his brother. After all, Jordan knows all about the beauty of Alaska (however, the idea that Hollywood executives could be fooled by a complete neophyte in their midst does have a certain amount of inherent appeal to me).
However, this becomes secondary when Jordan (pretending to be Jeffrey) meets Ashley Baines, known around the office as "the iron maiden" (and who is up for the same promotion). Instead of being scared of her, Jordan sees a challenge in this drop dead beautify but frosty big city woman. Of course, in short order neither one of them is thinking about the promotion, although Ashley cannot get over the big changes in "Jeffrey." From Jordan's perspective he is caught between a rock and a hard place: if he tells Ashley the truth, he can lose her and Jeffrey will lose his promotion. But if he says nothing, what happens when Jeffrey returns and wonders while Ashley is crawling all over him. Fortunately, along with all the romantic complications and plot contrivances, Dunlop keeps her focus on the humor of what is going on.
I am not sure that I buy Jordan's assessment that Ashley could survive in the wilds of Alaska, but the mind games between the two, in which she does not really know who she is playing against, has its moments. Ironically, while Ashley thinks she is seeing a brand new Jeffrey when she is clashing with Jordan, there actually is a brand new Jeffrey stuck up in Alaska and I cannot help but wonder what poor Ashley would do if she had to choose between the two brothers. Obviously that is a moot point given what happened in "Too Close For Comfort," but it is still rather interesting to think about (after all, you can never make a romance too complicated, right?).
I have a slight preference for the first book in terms of the romance but this one has the advantage in terms of the humor. Just be sure you read the other one before you pick up this one.
amusing contemporary romance.......2003-08-04
Small Alaskan airline owner Jordan Adamson never knew he had a twin brother until his sibling Jeffrey Bradshaw arrived from the lower Forty-eight on a business trip. Both are shocked, as they are mirror images of one another.
Jordan believes in the motto that the customer is always right (for the most part that is except for safety). Yet he still cannot figure out how living by that creed has sent him to Los Angels pretending to be Jeffrey even if a storm stranded his sibling in the wilderness. Even worse he is making a pitch that his sibling should be making. Making matters feel Murphyesque to Jordan is his new found brother's promotion competitor Ashley Baines is he wants in his igloo forever, but fears the repercussions they would cause to his sibling.
Twins seemingly are multiplying at an incredible rate in the fiction realm with Temptation joining in the duality with a pair serving as the lead in two of the August sweepstakes. Barbara Dunlop provides the audience with an amusing contemporary romance in which misconduct and duplicity serve as anchors to TOO CLOSE TO CALL. The story line focuses on Jordan's efforts to fool Jeffrey's colleagues with one disturbing exception in which he knows honesty is the key to permanency since he has fallen in love with the rival to his brother's potential promotion. Barbara Dunlop provides a lighthearted romp that shows you can take the stud out of Alaska, but you can't take baked Alaska out of the California bedroom.

From the supplier: There is little indication that the insurance industry is about to retreat from its globalization drive, but barriers to financial services trade remain. It is possible, perhaps probable, that the World Trade Organization (WTO) will not successfully complete a financial services free-trade agreement, and that could result in discriminatory bilateral trading agreements. US participation in and approval of the WTO pact is essential.
