The vast majority of animals have intimate associations with bacteria that live inside them, sometimes as parasites, but often, as with gut flora, essential to their very existence. Recently, attention have been drawn to a class of bacteria that have profound implications for the evolution and ecology of the hosts they infect - bacteria that can manipulate their host's reproduction. So far, research has focused on invertebrates. This is the first comprehensive and systematic review of the activities of these reproductive parasites. It explores not only the intriguing theoretical questions raised by the relationships between symbiotic bacteria and their hosts, but also discusses a number of exciting practical applications, such as the potential for controlling disease-transmitting insects. Chapters on sex reversal, sex-ratio distortion, and evolution are included. This is a timely and up-to-the-minute exploration of a new, exciting, and rapidly expanding area of biology.

Beyond the Finite

The Sublime in Art and Science

Throughout its long history, and not just as the key aesthetic category for the Romantic Movement, the sublime has created the necessary link between aesthetic and moral judgment, offering the prospect of transcending the limits of measurement, even imagination. The best of science makes genuine claims to the sublime. For in science, as in art, every day brings the entirely new, the extreme, and the unrepresentable. How does one depict negative mass, for example, or the folding of a protein that is contagious? Can one capture emergent phenomena as they emerge? Science is continually faced with describing that which is beyond. This book, through contributions from nine prominent scholars, tackles that challenge. The explorations within Beyond the Finite range from the images taken by the Hubble Telescope to David Bohm's quantum romanticism, from Kant and Burke to a "downward spiraling infinity" of the 21st century sublime, all lucid yet transcendent. Squarely positioned at the interface between science and art, this volume's chapters capture a remarkable variety of perspectives, with neuroscience, chemistry, astronomy, physics, film, painting and music discussed in relation to the sublime experience, topics surely to peak the interest of academics and students studying the sublime in various disciplines.
