{"product_id":"nature-remade-luis-a-campos-9780226783437","title":"Nature Remade: Engineering Life, Envisioning Worlds","description":"\"Engineering\" has firmly taken root in the entangled bank of biology even as proposals to remake the living world have sent tendrils in every direction, and at every scale.\u003ci\u003e Nature Remade\u003c\/i\u003e explores these complex prospects from a resolutely historical approach, tracing cases across the decades of the long twentieth century. These essays span the many levels at which life has been engineered: molecule, cell, organism, population, ecosystem, and planet. From the cloning of agricultural crops and the artificial feeding of silkworms to biomimicry, genetic engineering, and terraforming, \u003ci\u003eNature Remade\u003c\/i\u003e affirms the centrality of engineering in its various forms for understanding and imagining modern life. Organized around three themes--control and reproduction, knowing as making, and envisioning--the chapters in \u003ci\u003eNature Remade\u003c\/i\u003e chart different means, scales, and consequences of intervening and reimagining nature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luis A.
