This book is for anybody with interest in protecting life on the planet. Studies on the origin of life and scientific contributions to safeguarding the planet are examined in light of current thinking on climate change. A major focus is the spread of microbes, put in the context of environmental assessment and management, including descriptions of microbiomes and a consideration of the risks of genetic modifications. Lynch shows how failure to control disease can lead to the collapse of any biotic population. To avoid this, the ethics of management of disease by biological control and by vaccination are discussed, at the practical level and in a moral theological context"---Provided by publisher 536 $a Purchased with grant funds from the State Library of Iowa and Institute of Museum and Library Services 610 $a ARPA Grant 650 0 $a Life $x Origin 650 0 $a Environmental protection 650 0 $a Communicable diseases $x Prevention 650 0 $a Extinction (Biology) 650 2 $a Extinction, Biological. 941 $a 1 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20221221010138.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=297583DE80FD11EDBDE4B17F33ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IX2Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
