James C. King – författare

James J. C. K.’s The Biology of Race offers a comprehensive and scientifically grounded exploration of human diversity, providing critical insights into the intricate relationships between genetic inheritance, individual variation, and cultural influences. This revised edition builds on the success of the original work, incorporating advancements in molecular biology and evolving perspectives on intelligence and heritability since the book’s initial publication. Through its detailed examination of biological and environmental interactions, this volume aims to guide readers in understanding the concept of race from a scientific lens, unearthing both the biological foundations and the sociocultural complexities intertwined with this sensitive topic.Designed for readers across disciplines—including biology, genetics, anthropology, sociology, and psychology—the book begins with a dispassionate discussion of group differences in the animal world before extending these principles to the human species. The text moves through the scientific framework of species, subspecies, and genetic units, blending it with an analysis of cultural and emotional factors that challenge the objective study of human variation. With its accessible language, glossary of terms, and multi-disciplinary approach, The Biology of Race serves as an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and thoughtful lay readers seeking clarity amid contemporary debates on race, equality, and diversity.This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1981.

Dieser letzte Textband von Notkers Schriften enthält nicht nur die herkömmlichen Titel: "De partibus logicae" (Nl), "De syllogismis" (Ns), "De definitione" (Ndef), "De arte rhetoricae" (Nr), "Computus" (Ncom), "De musica" (Nm) und Notkers Brief an Bischof Hugo von Sitten, sondern auch drei weitere, lateinisch geschriebene Texte, die jetzt offiziell dem notkerschen Kanon hinzugefügt werden: den sog. St. Gallener Traktat ("Incipit quomodo septem circumstantiae rerum in legendo ordinandae sint" (Ntr)), "Distributio omnium specierum nominis inter cathegorias Aristotelis" (Ndis) und "De dialectica" (Ndia). Dadurch wird das Spektrum von Notkers Werken nicht unerheblich erweitert, und dieser Band wird einen viel größeren Kreis von Forschern interessieren können. Alle Texte werden neu nach den Handschriften und wiederum in möglichst diplomatischen Abdrucken mit Apparat, einige Male auch im Paralleldruck (Ndia, Nr, Nm), ediert. Mehrere, bislang nicht herangezogene Handschriften von ganzen Texten oder Bruchstücken konnten benutzt und eingearbeitet werden, so zu Ntr, Ndis, Nl, Ndia, Nr und Ncom. Die Einleitung enthält Allgemeines sowie Einführungen zu den einzelnen Texten. Ein Begleitband, der den Kommentar zu diesen Werken (die meistens lateinischen Quellen und Parallelen) erfaßt - "Notker latinus zu den kleineren Schriften" - wird von den Herausgebern erarbeitet und soll in absehbarer Zeit folgen.
