“The Priesthood of Science" by
William Leiss, May 2008. The Herasaga #2. Paperback,
ISBN 9780776606774.
 Hera
and her sisters are now sealed off from the rest of the
world in their private enclave at Yucca Mountain in
southern Nevada. Hera is still tormented by her parents’
decision to genetically modify the brains of their
twelve daughters—and by her own agreement to allow a
similar procedure to be used later on a much larger
group of human embryos. In a series of dialogues with a
molecular biologist recruited for their private
university, Hera and Gaia debate the changing
relationship between science and society from the time
of Lavoisier in the eighteenth century to the terrible
legacy of atomic physics in the twentieth. Two dialogues
between Hera and Jacob Hofer, a Hutterite minister, deal
with the issue of nihilism in religion and science.
Meanwhile, the group of engineered embryos has become
one thousand young people just turning eighteen, and the
gender politics are threatening to ruin Hera’s new
beginning for human society.

“Hera, or Empathy” by William Leiss, February 2006.
The Herasaga #1. Paperback, ISBN: 0973828307.
 Ever
since Plato, philosophers have been imagining future
utopian societies. In more recent times, many of these
fantasies have been about the doings of scientists
because modern science fascinates us with the prospect
of changing every aspect of our lives. Hera is one of
twelve sisters genetically modified by their
neuroscientist parents to have superior mental
faculties. During their teenage years the sisters were
forced to flee for their lives from the remote
Indonesian village where they were born. Later, Hera
challenges her father’s right to have engineered his
children, using the Biblical story of creation against
him. But one day she discovers that the sisters’ genes
contain modifications that their parents didn't intend.

“Just
a Matter of Time” by Karen Emilson, September
2005.
Paperback, ISBN: 0968124224.
 In
September 2004, I set out on a journey into cattle
country to talk with grassroots producers about
how they have been affected by the closed border.
What I came away with is a series of interviews
that focus on the people who are steadfast in
their belief of the industry's future. The result
is an honest talk with cattle men and women about
their operations and their lives. The people in
these pages are industry leaders – everyday
cattle producers who have helped put a face on
this crisis and, in doing so, will help others
understand.
