Survey s the issues typically raised in discussions ofsustainability and plastics

The issue of Plastics in the environment has attractedwidespread attention from the scientific community as well as fromthe informed general public. Plastics offer a variety ofenvironmental benefits. However, their production, applications,and disposal present many environmental concerns. Some ofthese are real and justified while others have little support infact. Plastics and Environmental Sustainability presents a clearanalysis of the key plastic–related issues, citing the researchbase that supports or contradicts the popularly held notions whilefocusing on three key areas; the plastics industry that discussesits scope and societal benefits; the post–consumer fate of plasticson land and in the oceans, highlighting the environmental impactsof disposal methods; and toxicity of plastics, particularly as itapplies to human health.

European Intellectual History from Rousseau to Nietzsche

Frank M. Turner, "European Intellectual History from Rousseau to Nietzsche"
ISBN: 030020729 | 2015 | PDF | 320 pages | 5 MB
One of the most distinguished cultural and intellectual historians of our time, Frank Turner taught a landmark Yale University lecture course on European intellectual history that drew scores of students over many years. His lectures—lucid, accessible, beautifully written, and delivered with a notable lack of jargon—distilled modern European history from the Enlightenment to the dawn of the twentieth century and conveyed the turbulence of a rapidly changing era in European history through its ideas and leading figures.

Richard A. Lofthouse, one of Turner's former students, has now edited the lectures into a single volume that outlines the thoughts of a great historian on the forging of modern European ideas. Moreover, it offers a fine example of how intellectual history should be taught: rooted firmly in historical and biographical evidence.

Grassroots Fascism: The War Experience of the Japanese People

Yoshimi Yoshiaki, Ethan Mark, "Grassroots Fascism: The War Experience of the Japanese People"
2015 | ISBN-10: 0231165684 | 352 pages | PDF | 5 MB

Grassroots Fascism profiles the Asia Pacific War (1937-1945)–the most important though least understood experience of Japan's modern history–through the lens of ordinary Japanese life. Moving deftly from the struggles of the home front to the occupied territories to the ravages of the front line, the book offers rare insights into popular experiences from the war's troubled beginnings through Japan's disastrous defeat in 1945 and the new beginning it heralded. Yoshimi Yoshiaki mobilizes diaries, letters, memoirs, and government documents to portray the ambivalent position of ordinary Japanese as both wartime victims and active participants. He also provides penetrating accounts of the war experiences of Japan's minorities and imperial subjects, including Koreans and Taiwanese. His book challenges the idea that the Japanese people operated as a mere conduit for the military during the war, passively accepting an imperial ideology imposed upon them by the political elite. Viewed from the bottom up, wartime Japan unfolds as a complex modern mass society, with a corresponding variety of popular roles and agendas. In chronicling the diversity of wartime Japanese social experience, Yoshimi's account elevates our understanding of "Japanese Fascism." In its relation of World War II to the evolution–and destruction–of empire, it makes a fresh contribution to the global history of the war. Ethan Mark's translation supplements the Japanese original with explanatory notes and an in-depth introduction that situates the work within Japanese studies and global history.

Purchasing Medical Innovation: The Right Technology, for the Right Patient, at the Right Price

James C. Robinson, "Purchasing Medical Innovation: The Right Technology, for the Right Patient, at the Right Price"
2015 | ISBN-10: 0520281667 | 184 pages | PDF | 0,7 MB

Innovation in medical technology generates a remarkable supply of new drugs, devices, and diagnostics that improve health, reduce risks, and extend life. But these technologies are too often used on the wrong patient, in the wrong setting, or at an unaffordable price. The only way to moderate the growth in health care costs without undermining the dynamic of medical innovation is to improve the process of assessing, pricing, prescribing, and using new technologies. Purchasing Medical Innovation analyzes the contemporary revolution in the purchasing of health care technology, with a focus on the roles of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Medicare and private health insurers, physicians and hospitals, and consumers themselves. The FDA is more thoroughly assessing product performance under real-world conditions as well as in laboratory settings, accelerating the path to market for breakthroughs while imposing use controls on risky products. Insurers are improving their criteria for coverage and designing payment methods that reward efficiency in the selection of new treatments. Hospitals are aligning adoption of complex supplies and equipment more closely with physicians’ preferences for the best treatment for their patients. Consumers are becoming more engaged and financially accountable for their health care choices. This book describes both the strengths and deficiencies of the current system of purchasing and highlights opportunities for buyers, sellers, and users to help improve the value of medical technology: better outcomes at lower cost.

Raising Generation Rx: Mothering Kids with Invisible Disabilities in an Age of Inequality

Linda M. Blum, "Raising Generation Rx: Mothering Kids with Invisible Disabilities in an Age of Inequality"
2015 | ISBN-10: 1479871540, 1479891878 | 320 pages | PDF | 1,5 MB

Recent years have seen an explosion in the number of children diagnosed with “invisible disabilities” such as ADHD, mood and conduct disorders, and high-functioning autism spectrum disorders. Whether they are viewed as biological problems in brain wiring or as results of the increasing medicalization of childhood, the burden of dealing with the day-to-day trials and complex medical and educational decisions falls almost entirely on mothers. Yet few ask how these mothers make sense of their children’s troubles, and to what extent they feel responsibility or blame. Raising Generation Rx offers a groundbreaking study that situates mothers’ experiences within an age of neuroscientific breakthrough, a high-stakes knowledge-based economy, cutbacks in public services and decent jobs, and increased global competition and racialized class and gender inequality.

Through in-depth interviews, observations of parents’ meetings, and analyses of popular advice, Linda Blum examines the experiences of diverse mothers coping with the challenges of their children’s “invisible disabilities” in the face of daunting social, economic, and political realities. She reveals how mothers in widely varied households learn to advocate for their children in the dense bureaucracies of the educational and medical systems; wrestle with anguishing decisions about the use of psychoactive medications; and live with the inescapable blame and stigma in their communities.
