Throughout history, people have sought to improve society by reducing suffering, eliminating disease or enhancing desirable qualities in their children. But this wish goes hand in hand with the desire to impose control over who can marry, who can procreate and who is permitted to live.

Shortlisted for the Royal Society Science Book Prize 2021. In Sweden, refugee children fall asleep for months and years at a time. In upstate New York, high school students develop contagious seizures. In the US Embassy in Cuba, employees complain of headaches and memory loss after hearing strange noises in the night.

What unites them is that they are all examples of a particular ... |

Съставители: Пенка Пейковска , Габор Деметер. ... Поради събитията от последните години миграцията се превърна в ключов въпрос, въпреки че тя винаги е имала решаващо влияние върху историята на човечеството (достатъчно е да споменем фазата ѝ, свързана с етногенезиса на съвременните народи през Ранното средновековие, по време на Великото преселение на народите). Характерът на днешната миграция обаче е друг - не защото предпочитат да я свържат с изменението на климата (което не е уникално), не и защото става дума за допира на народи с отличаващи се култури (живеещи от различни страни на Хънтингтъновите "гранични ... |
