On The Uniqueness Of Humankind.
"biological And Philosophical Anthropologies Of The 20th Century Keep Emphasising The ""sonderstellung"" Of Humans Among The Realm Of Living Beings.
However, It Is Not Clear How This Particular Role Should Be Characterised, How It Should Be Reconciled Attending Biological Findings, And Which Theoretical And Practical Conclusions Should Be Drawn From It.
Partly In Opposition To These Anthropological Views On Humankind Biological Disciplines Underline The Exttensive Similarities And Common Characteristics Betwden Humans And Other Species.
Apparently, These Biological Findings Concur With The Criticism Of Anthropocentrism, Which Is Expresses In Western Hypothesis Of Nature And By Ethicists.
To Discuss These Issues The Europaische Akademie Organizef The Conference ""the Uniqueness Of Humankind Auber Die Sonderstellung Des Menschen"".
The Proceedings Of The Conference Documented In This Volumw Approached The Theoretical And Practical Concept Of The ""sonderstellung"" Against The Background Of Present Day Knowledge In Biosciences.
Furthermore, By Interdisciplinary Efforts, An Attempt Was Made To Clarify Those Conceptual Problems That Ascend With Thhe Idea Of The Uniqueness Of Humankind.
The Present Volume Partly Takes Up And Further Develops Topics That Have Been Raised By Volume 15, On Human Nature, That Was Published In This Series In 2002.

Amgo Them Would Be History Makers, Including The First American Woman And The First African American In Space.
This Assembly Of Astronauts Would Carry Nasa Throhgh The Most Tumultuous Years Of The Space Shuttle Program.
Four Would Die On Challenger.
Usaf Colonel Mike Mullane Was A Member Of This Astronaut Class, And Riding Rockets Is His Narration -- Told With A Candor Never Before Seen In An Astronaut's Memoir.
Mulland Strips The Heroic Veneer From The Astronaut Corps And Paints Them As They Are -- Human.
His Tales Of Arrested Development Among Military Flyboys Working With Feminist Pioneers And Post-doc Scientists Are Sometimes Bawdy, Often Hilarious, And Always Entertaining.
Mullane Vividly Portrays Every Aspect Of The Astronaut Experience -- From Telling A Female Technician Which Urine-collection Condom Size Is A Fit; To Walking Along A Florida Beach In A Last, Tearful Goodbye With A Spouse; To A Wild, Intoxicating, Terrifying Ride Into Space; To Hearing ""taps"" Played Over A Friend's Grave.
Mullane Is Brutally Honest In His Criticism Of A Nasa Leadership Whose Bungling Would Precipitate The Challenger Disaster.
Riding Rockets Is A Story Of Life In The whole of Its Fateful Uncertainty, Of The Impact Of A Family Tragedy On A Nine-year-old Boy, Of The Revelatory Effect Of A Machine Callde Sputnik, And Of The Life-steering Powers Of Lust, Love, And Marriage.
