Synopsis Sexual Suicide by : George F. Gilder
George Gilder has written on of the most important books on sex, society and the women's role to have appeared in many years. Sexual differences, Gilder asserts, are at the root of our entire moral and social order. In a book that has been compared to Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, he demonstrates that just as our natural environment is being endangered, our sexual ecology is threatened by a pollution of ideas and technology. The result is an erosion of love and family that reduces sex to a from of meaningless sensual massage. Both men and women are losers, and the society succumbs to anarchy and crime. Gilder argues that the "women's liberation" movement leads finally to a bitter harvest of male chauvinism and sexual conflict. The chief effect of feminism is not to liberate women, but to liberate men to oppress them. For all but an elite of careerists, the movement subjects women to a new bondage to the marketplace--freeing them not for creative careers but for mops, switchboards, and sexual exploitation. He believe that most observers in the women's movement and elsewhere fail to understand the vital economic and social importance of love, it is through love that men are induced to submit their impulsive and short-circuited sexuality to the long term goals and horizons of female sexuality: motherhood, family and community. Love is crucial to sustaining civilization and sexual differences are crucial to sustaining love. Examining a wealth of anthropological, economic, social, and psychological data, Gilder demonstrates that familial breakdown is the chief cause of the violence and drug addiction, the welfare explosion and the crime that afflict our nation's cities. By weakening family ties, the women' movement programs would worsen these problems. Crucial to restoring the balance of the sexes is maintenance of the male role as provider. Although career women make indispensable contributions to the nation's welfare and economy, the woman in the home performs the most important work of civilized society. From her maternal and domestic responsibilities derive the moral and social values necessary to human individuality and democracy. The alternative is a child care state to care for children and a police state to discipline men. Pointing to statistics proving that single men are the chief source of crime and social disruption, Gilder argues that marriage is essential to male socialization in the modern world--from dust jacket

Synopsis Power, Sex, Suicide by : Nick Lane
Mitochondria are tiny structures located inside our cells that carry out the essential task of producing energy for the cell. They are found in all complex living things, and in that sense, they are fundamental for driving complex life on the planet. But there is much more to them than that. Mitochondria have their own DNA, with their own small collection of genes, separate from those in the cell nucleus. It is thought that they were once bacteria living independent lives. Their enslavement within the larger cell was a turning point in the evolution of life, enabling the development of complex organisms and, closely related, the origin of two sexes. Unlike the DNA in the nucleus, mitochondrial DNA is passed down exclusively (or almost exclusively) via the female line. That's why it has been used by some researchers to trace human ancestry daughter-to-mother, to 'Mitochondrial Eve'. Mitochondria give us important information about our evolutionary history. And that's not all. Mitochondrial genes mutate much faster than those in the nucleus because of the free radicals produced in their energy-generating role. This high mutation rate lies behind our ageing and certain congenital diseases. The latest research suggests that mitochondria play a key role in degenerative diseases such as cancer, through their involvement in precipitating cell suicide. Mitochondria, then, are pivotal in power, sex, and suicide. In this fascinating and thought-provoking book, Nick Lane brings together the latest research findings in this exciting field to show how our growing understanding of mitochondria is shedding light on how complex life evolved, why sex arose (why don't we just bud?), and why we age and die. This understanding is of fundamental importance, both in understanding how we and all other complex life came to be, but also in order to be able to control our own illnesses, and delay our degeneration and death. 'An extraordinary account of groundbreaking modern science... The book abounds with interesting and important ideas.' Mark Ridley, Department of Zoology, University of Oxford

Synopsis Men and Marriage by : George F. Gilder
A chilling indictment on the state of the American family, and the recent drive to deny the fundamental differences between the sexes, Men and Marriage is "an outstandingly important and well-argued book, strangely moving in its combination of scholarly dilligence, common sense, courage, and devotion to the res publica of human civilization".--National Review.

In this second edition of Police Suicide: Epidemic in Blue, the author brings together "old and new" information on police suicide and he introduces some promising findings. In doing so, he clarifies some issues and provides a source of information for police officers, administrators, and academic researchers. In this lucidly written book of ten chapters, Doctor Violanti discusses the classical studies in suicide, the accuracy and validity of police suicide rates, probable precipitating factors associated with police suicide, the impact of retirement, the idea of "suicide by suspect," the ante.
