Relying mostly on modern genetic science, this book exposes how various forms of creationism - including intelligent design - fail to provide testable models for the appearance and evolution of life. On the contrary, science has been very successful in the description of the unguided processes that led to the creation of the universe and one of its consequences, the appearance of life forms, including humans.

In this issue of Nursing Clinics of North America, guest editor Dr. Linda Stone brings her considerable expertise to the topic of Substance Use and Abuse. Substance Use Disorder (SUD) has long been recognized as a serious issue in the nursing and medical professions and in healthcare in general, yet gaps in knowledge about this disease continue to exist. Education to promote SUD awareness, reduce stigma, and assist in the early recognition and intervention of impaired individuals is essential for helping nurses continue to protect patients in the healthcare environment. The clinical reviews in this issue help fill the existing knowledge gaps about SUD in the nursing profession.

Following periods of intense debate and eventual demise, kinship studies is now seeing a revival in anthropology. New Directions in Anthropological Kinship captures these recent trends and explores new avenues of inquiry in this re-emerging subfield. The book comprises contributions from primatology, evolutionary anthropology, archaeology, and cultural anthropology. The authors review the history of kinship in anthropology and its theory, and recent research in relation to new directions of anthropological study. Moving beyond the contentious debates of the past, the book covers feminist anthropology on kinship, the expansion of kinship into the areas of new reproductive technologies, recent kinship constructions in EuroAmerican societies, and the role of kinship in state politics.

Does kinship still matter in today’s globalized, increasingly mobile world? Do family structures continue to influence the varied roles that men and women play in different cultures? Answering with a resounding ‘yes!’, Linda Stone and Diane E. King offer a lively introduction to and working knowledge of kinship. They firmly link these concepts to cross-cultural gender studies, illuminating the malleable nature of gender roles around the world and over time.Written to engage students, each chapter in Kinship and Gender provides key terms and useful generalizations gleaned through research on the interplay of kinship and gender in both traditional societies and contemporary communities. Detailed case studies and cross-cultural examples help students understand how such generalizations are experienced in real life. The authors also consider the ramifications of current social problems and recent developments in reproductive technology as they demonstrate the relevance of kinship and gender to students’ lives.The fully-revised sixth edition contains new case studies on foster parenting in the United States and on domestic violence. It provides new material on pets as family members and an expanded discussion of the concept of lineal masculinity. There is also a comparison of the adoption of new reproductive technologies in Israel with other countries, along with a discussion of the issue of transnational movements in the use of these technologies.

Genes, Culture, and Human Evolution: A Synthesisis a textbook on human evolution that offers students a unique combination of cultural anthropology and genetics. Written by two geneticists—including a world-renowned scientist and founder of the Human Genome Diversity Project—and a socio-cultural anthropologist.Based on recent findings in genetics and anthropology that indicate the analysis of human culture and evolution demands an integration of these fields of study.Focuses on evolution—or, rather, co-evolution—viewed from the standpoint of genes and culture, and their inescapable interactions.Unifies cultural and genetic concepts rather than rehashing nonempirical sociobiological musings.Demonstrates that empirical genetic evidence, based on modern DNA analysis and population studies, provides an excellent foundation for understanding human cultural diversity.
