Let’s face it: From adenines to zygotes, from cytokinesis to parthenogenesis, even the basics of genetics can sound utterly alien. So who better than an alien to explain it all? Enter Bloort 183, a scientist from an asexual alien race threatened by disease, who’s been charged with researching the fundamentals of human DNA and evolution and laying it all out in clear, simple language so that even his slow-to-grasp-the-point leader can get it. In the hands of the award-winning writer Mark Schultz, Bloort’s predicament becomes the means of giving even the most science-phobic reader a complete introduction to the history and science of genetics that’s as easy to understand as it is entertaining to read.

In the first offering of this beloved duo, the Humez brothers take on the twenty-four letters of the Greek alphabet (plus those elusive dead letters ), and through the device of the abecedarium bring the Greek culture and thought to life. From acoustics to zygote, they provide not only an engaging romp through the Greek language but also a series of glimpses into the world and man s place in it. The historical, philosophical, mathematical, cosmological, and political (all Greek words) approaches we take toward life, its description, elucidation, and evaluation, are all mainly derived from several thousand years of Greek culture. The vocabulary of language is a mirror of the minds of its speakers, and in this book we see the first reflections of the modern world.

How To Make a “Parentless” Child: 1. Take an egg from one woman. 2. Add a sperm cell from one man. 3. Combine the two reproductive cells in a test tube. 4. Insert the zygote into the uterus of a second woman to gestate. 5. Wait nine months then hand over the resultant infant to a third woman (my then-wife), who had contracted the gestational surrogate, despite the fact that a second man (me) was in the process of divorcing her. Add to the equation the second man’s past as an international drug-smuggler and convicted trafficker together with the reality that he did not want to become a parent. Now, who is the mother of the child? And who is the father? In the subsequent landmark case involving surrogacy rights, after a California Superior Court Judge ruled that this little girl had no legal parents, an appellate court declared that my ex-wife was the girl’s legal mother and I was the father. My legal obligation is now complete and this is my story of why I have not recognized the young life, created by science and technology and driven by maternal and monetary demand, as my daughter.
