From the reviews:
"Expert scientists review the gains in scientific capabilities to correct and enhance the human condition, beginning with historical reflections on past attempts to improve humankind through various eugenic programs that have since been labeled unethical. . Many of the scenarios presented are compelling, and the potential outcomes will excite the imagination of a wide audience. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All academic, general, and professional library collections." (R. A. Hoots, Choice, Vol. 51 (7), March, 2014)
"One of the greatest strengths of Engineering the Human: Human Enhancement Between Fiction and Fascination is to provide information regarding the progress of some very creative applications of science such as the creation of intelligent robots, genetic alteration, and the creation of biomaterials. . The book is appropriate for a wide range of scientists who are interested in science fiction, ethics, and the creative application of science to the human condition." (Robert D. Mather, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 59 (5), February, 2014)More details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
