reviewed East African Running: Toward a Cross-Disciplinary Perspective on June 07, 2011
East African Running
Full of humor and perhaps overfull of social criticism, Marks' book is an extremely thought provoking entryway into the softer side of science. I would advise anyone dipping their toes into the sciences to take a strenuous look at the ideas he raises, especially about scientific responsibility and the cultural ramifications of scientific study. To the animal rights activists out there, I just want to open this book to the human vs. animal rights page and SHMEAR it all over your faces. Not because I don't respect your cause, but because it's important. To remember. That people > animals, for the most part. IDK. All of his points made me slightly uncomfortable, which I appreciate, though sometimes his arguments felt a little holey.
