Beneath the surface we are all connected . . . 'An authentically
soothing, powerful, thought-provoker.' MATT HAIG 'On Connection is
medicine for these wounded times.' MAX PORTER 'On Connection came
to me when I needed it most, and reminded me that the links we have
to places, people, words, ourselves, are what keep us alive.'
CANDICE CARTY-WILLIAMS This is a book about connection. About how
immersing ourselves in creativity can help us cultivate greater
self-awareness and bring us closer to each other. Drawing on two
decades of experience as a writer and performer, Kae Tempest
champions the role of creativity - in whatever form we choose to
practice it - as an act of love, helping us establish a deeper
relationship to our true selves, and to others and the world we
live in. Honest, hopeful and written with piercing clarity, On
Connection is an inspiring personal meditation that will transform
the way you see the world. 'Persuasive and profound.' OBSERVER
'Tempest's prose is crisp and thoughtful.' NEW STATESMAN
John Rebus stands accused: on trial for a crime that could put him
behind bars for the rest of his life. Although it's not the first
time the legendary detective has taken the law into his own hands,
it might be the last. What drove a good man to cross the line? Or
have times changed, and the rules with them? Detective Inspector
Siobhan Clarke faces Edinburgh's most explosive case in years, as a
corrupt cop goes missing after claiming to harbour secrets that
could sink the city's police force. But in this investigation, it
seems all roads lead to Rebus - and Clarke's twin loyalties to the
public and the police will be tested to their limit. A reckoning is
coming - and John Rebus may be hearing the call for last orders...

The common, existing distance between children and adults is the
basis of this work, which has been addressed in many literary and
cultural works throughout history. Not being able to remember how
we, now adults, thought as children -like their spontaneity or
magic and omnipotent form of thinking- would leave children
completely isolated, like a helpless immigrant in a foreign land.
This book attempts to comprehend, how parents' misunderstanding,
can induce loneliness and helplessness in children, that with time
will become traumatic, and will remain unconsciously present in all
of us forever. It will continue to repeat using infantile emotions,
children form of thinking, and experiencing as well, loneliness,
anxiety, depression, fears and the chronic need of finding a
'rescuer', in the form of power, fame, drugs, money, religion, and
so on. This very innovative approach to the understanding of
children's segregation and its repercussion on adult's emotional
life, will be of invaluable interest to all practicing
psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and parents included.
In endocrine pathology, surgical pathologists often concentrate on
neoplasms at the expense of nonneoplastic disease processes. This
is unfortunate as nonneoplastic endocrine disorders are many times
more common in the population. As in all fields of medicine,
nonneoplastic endocrine diseases can closely mimic the neoplastic;
an awareness of all aspects of pathology underpins routine clinical
practice. This Fifth Series Fascicle offers pathologists and
clinicians an opportunity to develop an increased understanding of
nontumor endocrine pathology in order to inform patient care.
THE LONG-AWAITED, MOVING MEMOIR OF HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR HANNAH
PICK-GOSLAR, WHO SHARES AN INTIMATE LOOK INTO HER LIFE AND
FRIENDSHIP WITH ANNE FRANK. 'As a girl I witnessed the world I
loved crumble and vanish, destroyed by senseless hatred, and with
it, my best friend Anne' Two best friends' lives were about to
change for ever, neither would ever be forgotten... When Hannah's
family flee from the Nazi to Amsterdam, she soon strikes up a
friendship with a girl just like her freshly arrived from Germany.
Precocious and outspoken, the girl's name is Anne Frank and for
seven blissful years the inseparable pair navigate school, boys and
coming of age. Then one day in 1942, as the Nazi occupation
intensifies, they are separated without warning. Hannah calls on
Anne and can't find a trace of her, breakfast dishes still in the
sink, beds unmade. Anne and her family have seemingly vanished.
They are told the Franks have fled to Switzerland. As Hannah is
tormented by the fate of her friend, hoping she is alive and well
elsewhere, her own family's fate unfolds. After attempts to flee
themselves, the SS finally come for them and they are taken to the
transit camp Westerbork. Eventually Hannah, her father and younger
sister Gabi are transported to Bergen-Belsen. Amid horrific
conditions with death all around, it is during Hannah's darkest
point at the concentration camp that she hears astonishing of news
of Anne. Desperate to save her friend who is weak and struggling to
survive, Hannah risks her life to help her. In an incredible memoir
of hope, strength and defiance, Hannah shares the intimate, loving
portrait of her friendship with the young diarist who would go on
to capture the hearts of millions around the world.

The dazzling promise of stem cell medicine: does it work and will
it save us? Two experts look at the hype For decades, we've been
anticipating the dawn of regenerative medicine. Again and again,
we've been promised that stem cells will soon cure just about every
ill imaginable. If not tomorrow, then the next day, or the day
after that, and so on. We're still waiting. This book is an
antidote to hype and a salve to soothe the itch for stem-cell
salvation. In it, Professor John Rasko, a leading
physician-scientist, and writer-historian Carl Power take us on a
wild historical tour of this scandal-prone field. They expose all
the dirty little secrets that the hype merchants prefer to ignore -
the blunders and setbacks, confusions and delusions, tricks and
lies. You'll meet Alexis Carrel, who discovered how to cultivate
cells in a test tube: celebrity surgeon, scientific genius and
suspected Nazi sympathiser, he opened the field of modern cell
science with an experiment so bogus it blocked the way forward for
the next 50 years. You'll meet Don Thomas, who developed bone
marrow transplantation - the first successful stem-cell therapy -
but only after a miserable decade in which most of his patients
died. Alongside true stem-cell pioneers, you'll meet charlatans who
cooked their data and claimed fake cures - sometimes with fatal
consequences. Is there any good news? Which of the many promises of
stem-cell research have been kept? And what of the future? Rasko
and Power insist that we can only know where we're going if we have
a sense of where we've been. Their study tears down the hype
surrounding stem cells in order to reveal what's still worth hoping
for. PRAISE 'If you love some scandal with your science - or some
science with your scandal - this is THE book for you. Brilliant
stuff' Adam Spencer, University of Sydney 'Science, skulduggery and
snake oil salesmen ... it is a revolution in medicine but who knew
the story of stem cell science was such a ripping yarn!' Fran
Kelly, ABC Radio National Breakfast 'Science isn't magic: it's a
human enterprise. This enthralling book tells of high achievement
and astonishing blunders in a vital field of research' Robyn
Williams, science journalist and broadcaster 'A masterpiece in
myth-busting which helps separate fact from fiction in the world of
regenerative medicine. It shines a light on some episodes in
medical history many would rather forget but also shows a way
forward for stem cell research breakthroughs grounded in solid
science' Sophie Scott, national medical reporter, ABC 'The stem
cell revolution: myths, mistakes but mighty medical masterpiece'
Sir Gustav Nossal, AC CBE FRS FAA, Australian of the Year 2000 'A
compelling (and compulsory) read for anyone entranced by the latest
media-promoted breakthroughs in medical research, or planning
translation of new biomedical research into clinical practice' Ian
Frazer, AC, FRCPE, FRCPA, FAA, FTSE Australian of the Year 2006,
Australian Living Treasure 2012 'Is it really stem cells' turn to
revolutionise health care? When you come across a train wreck, keep
reading! You'll discover that stem cells reveal medicine in its
most provocative and challenging light' Antony Basten AO FAA FTSE
'Flesh Made New is a revelation for the general reader about what
lies beneath the surface of exciting scientific advances ... The
book shows the value of patience and trust in robust evidence-based
scientific research, and where things go off the rail, for
whistleblowers and experts like the authors of this book' Lucy
Turnbull AO, businesswoman, urbanist and philanthropist

This forward-looking book provides an in-depth analysis of the
major transformations of the right to health in Latin America over
the past decades, marked by the turn towards the
pharmaceuticalisation of health care. Everaldo Lamprea-Montealegre
investigates how health-based litigation has deepened inequalities
in the global South, exploring the practices of key actors that are
reclaiming the right to health in the region. Taking a deep dive
into the health care systems of Brazil and Colombia, Local
Maladies, Global Remedies illustrates how transnational
pharmaceutical companies are influencing the litigation of health
rights, from moulding doctors' preferences for branded drugs to
controlling the availability of cheaper generics and bio-similars.
The book deploys a wide range of theoretical perspectives and
insights from socio-legal literature to map out the practices of
stakeholders that are reclaiming the right to health in Latin
America. Its concluding remarks propose a set of remedies to help
alleviate the challenges faced by global South countries when
trying to guarantee their population's right to health, ultimately
calling for a major shift of decision-making responsibilities from
a local to a global level. The wide-ranging, interdisciplinary
scope of this cutting-edge book will benefit scholars,
practitioners, policymakers, and students operating at the
intersections between socio-legal studies, sociology, health
anthropology, public health, globalisation, and human rights.
