HOW TO ARGUE WITH A RACIST: HISTORY, SCIENCE, RACE AND REALITY

Book ID/图书代码： 10010019C00198

English Summary/英文概要： HOW TO ARGUE WITH A RACIST is a vital manifesto for a twenty-first century understanding of human evolution and variation. This is a concise book about a big subject and will make a significant contribution to contemporary discussions around race. Scientific racism is back, and increasingly part of the public discourse on politics, migration, education, sport and intelligence - this book addresses that head-on and offers the reader a weapon against bigotry.

Stereotypes and myths about race are expressed not just by overt racists, but also by well-intentioned people whose experience and cultural baggage steers them towards views that are not supported by the modern study of human genetics. Even some scientists are uncomfortable expressing opinions deriving from their research where it relates to race. Yet, if understood correctly, science and history can be powerful allies against racism, granting the clearest view of how people actually are, rather than how we judge them to be.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《如何与种族主义者争论》是二十一世纪理解人类进化和变异的重要宣言。这是一本关于一个大主题的简明著作，将对当代有关种族的讨论做出重大贡献。科学种族主义卷土重来，而且越来越多地成为政治、移民、教育、体育和情报等公共话语的一部分。

关于种族的刻板印象和神话不仅是由公开的种族主义者表达的，还有是由一些善意的人表达的，他们的经验和文化包袱将他们引向了那些没有得到现代人类遗传学研究支持的观点。甚至一些科学家也不愿意表达他们研究中与种族有关的观点。然而，如果理解正确的话，科学和历史可以成为反对种族主义的有力盟友，让我们能够最清晰地看到人类实际上是怎样的，而不是我们如何判断他们是怎样的。（YYW）

About the Author/作者介绍： 亚当•卢瑟福博士拥有卓越的资历，是当今英国最受欢迎的科学广播员和传播者之一。他与W&N合作的两本书——《2016年每个人的简史》和《2018年人类之书》——在商业上也很成功。两者都获得了包括比尔•布莱森和理查德•道金斯在内的全方位一流评论。我附上两本书的评论。这两本书都被证明是我们的后备书目中的瑰宝，正如《简史》的最新销售数据所展示的那样。亚当的书在世界各地以21种语言出版，他的美国出版商是the Experiment。

Dr Adam Rutherford has stellar credentials and is one of the most popular science broadcasters and communicators at work in the UK today. His two books with W&N, A BRIEF HISTORY OF EVERYONE WHO EVER LIVED in 2016, and THE BOOK OF HUMANS in 2018 have both been critical and commercial successes for us. Both garnered first-rate reviews across the board including from such voices as Bill Bryson and Richard Dawkins. I attach reviews for both books. And both books are proving to be gems for our backlist as the latest sales figures for A BRIEF HISTORY demonstrate. Adam has been published around the world in 21 languages and his US publisher is The Experiment.
