No creature from the Pleistocene Era captivates the imagination like the woolly mammoth. Cave paintings reveal their significant role in early human culture, where our Ice Age ancestors constructed huts from mammoth bones and consumed mammoth tongues. Since Peter the Great's time, explorers have searched Siberia for mammoth remains. Today, a new generation, equipped with GPS, ground-penetrating radar, and Soviet-era helicopters, seeks a mammoth carcass to uncover its life, death, and potential resurrection. Science writer Richard Stone chronicles two teams—one Russian/Japanese and the other French—as they face extreme cold, strong winds, supply shortages, and the superstitions of indigenous peoples wary of disturbing the "rat beneath the ice." Stone's journey spans from St. Petersburg to the Arctic Circle and high-tech Japanese labs, capturing the surreal quest of these scientists whose findings could alter our understanding of evolutionary history. This gripping narrative blends high-stakes adventure with scientific ambition, prompting reflection on the ethical implications of resurrecting ancient creatures.

The purpose of this book is twofold. First, it enables the student who has made some progress with studying contract law to revise the main points of a particular area in an easily digestible way. It should be of particular help to the student who finds that the mass of detail contained in some textbooks makes it difficult to identify the most important principles and essential cases. Secondly, it teaches, by illustration, the skills needed to write good answers to contract questions.

Backcover:Die ewige Jugend - ein uralter Menscheitstraum. Zwei britische Genforscher kommen mit ihrer Arbeit der Erfüllung dieses Wunsches ziemlich nahe: Sie entdecken ein Metavirus, aus dem sich ein Präparat entwickeln läßt, das die Alterung der Körperzellen extrem verlangsamt, dessen Nebenwirkungen aber noch völlig unbekannt sind - von den sozialen Folgen einer sprunghaft steigenden Lebenserwartung ganz zu schweigen.Insgeheim werden an ahnungslosen Freiwilligen erste Humanversuche durchgeführt, aber die Geheimhaltung läßt sich nicht total aufrechterhalten. Durch dunkle Kanäle sickert die Information an eine höchstem Maßen interessierte Pharmaindustrie durch sowie an reiche "Gönner", die sich mit allen Mitteln ein ewiges Leben sichern wollen. Skrupellose Profiteure, ehrgeizige Wissenschaftler und fanatische politische Gruppierungen versuchen an die "Wunderdroge" heranzukommen, über deren Entdeckung die Genforscher inzwischen immer unglücklicher sind.
