This book deepens our understanding of ethical drivers in energy
policy and contributes to future decision-making on transitions
towards a sustainable energy system. During the latest fifty years
Western energy politics have been faced with a series of ethical
challenges including rapid growth, oil crises, security of supply,
nuclear power and climate change. Combining philosophical,
historical and planning approaches into one narrative, these
dilemmas are explored using Denmark as the key case study. Drawing
on contributions from several experts in the field, the ethics of
energy is investigated from multiple perspectives at the
individual, corporate, local and national levels, focusing on
concrete decisions where different ethical considerations are
weighted against each other. This comprehensive approach helps to
gain a deeper understanding of the energy sector's history and
gives important input to its future layout. Drawing comparisons
with European and global examples, this book will be of great
interest to students and scholars of energy politics and policy,
environmental ethics, climate change and sustainability
transitions.

This volume contains all the invited papers, symposium
contributions and workshop reports of the 7th International
Congress of Human Genetics, held in West Berlin from September 22
to 26, 1986. The organizers of this congress made sure to gain the
cooperation of the leading scientists in the field from all over
the world. These contributions therefore document the enormous
progress made in human genetics research in recent years. The
volume covers a wide range of topics, from analysis of the human
genome to basic mechanisms, diagnosis and therapy of hereditary
diseases, and to distribution of normal and pathological genes and
DNA variation in human populations. Ethical issues raised by modern
developments are discussed thoroughly. The volume is a must for all
scientists and medical doctors working in human genetics research,
its teaching and practical applications.
