The criminalisation of healthcare malpractice has become a highly
topical and somewhat controversial question in recent years.
Studies have demonstrated that in England and Wales, the trend
towards holding healthcare professionals to account for malpractice
is rapidly growing, abolishing the deference doctors enjoyed
decades ago. The changing attitude of judges to claims for clinical
negligence has been well documented. The role of the criminal
process in England and Wales has been less fully analysed with the
criminal law playing a very limited role until recently in the
regulation of poor healthcare practice. In contrast, in France, the
criminal process has for a long time been invoked more readily to
respond to cases of healthcare malpractice, which involved even
mere errors. This book compares English and French criminal law
responses to healthcare malpractice and considers what lessons the
French model can provide for potential reform in England and
elsewhere. The book takes the HIV-contaminated blood episode as a
primary example of the different approaches France and England have
in dealing with healthcare malpractice. Kazarian emphasises the
impact of rules of substantive criminal law and criminal procedure
on the way in which healthcare malpractice is criminalised in a
given country. This book explores the key lessons to be drawn on
whether the criminal process is an appropriate means to respond to
instances of healthcare malpractice. It proposes that features of
French criminal law and criminal procedure might be useful to
counteract healthcare malpractice.

An exploration of fashion designer Gaby Aghion’s life, career,
and legacy at the French fashion house Chloé  As imagined
by the company’s founder, Gaby Aghion (1921–2014), the
sophisticated, romantic, and glamorous designs of Chloé have
captured the energy and aspirations of generations of women since
Aghion designed her first collection in 1952. This sumptuously
illustrated book centers Chloé and Aghion within the cultural
arena and crystallizes a major transition in the postwar Parisian
fashion industry, from haute couture to prêt-à -porter.
Aghion defined Chloé as a brand of luxury ready-to-wear clothing
combining high-end materials and savoir faire with light shapes for
active women. Aghion, an Egyptian Jew in Paris, brought a fresh,
outsider perspective to French fashion. Â Seventy years of
archival clothing from Chloé designers are reproduced here, many
for the first time, along with sketches, advertisements, and
photographs. Essays shed light on Aghion’s life, the company’s
approach to fashion, and the ways in which it fostered young
talents. The book celebrates Aghion’s daring entrepreneurship and
her legacy through the acclaimed designers who embodied and
reinterpreted her original inspiration. Paulo Melim Andersson,
Gabriela Hearst, Clare Waight Keller, Karl Lagerfeld, Hanna
MacGibbon, Stella McCartney, Peter O’Brien, Phoebe Philo, Natacha
Ramsay-Levi, and Martine Sitbon offer recollections of their
experiences working at the fashion house. Â Published in
association with the Jewish Museum, New York  Exhibition

The fascination for poetry, along with classical music and liturgy,
began at an early age. In this collection of verse and prose-poems,
themes range from childhood recollections to contemporary issues to
the whimsical. L'arrogance de la Jeunesse -The Swagger of Youth: A

This novella is a compilation of stories based upon historical
events that occurred prior to and following the attack on Pearl
Harbor, Territorial Hawaii. The situations, issues, themes, and
outcomes are partly derived from the experiences of the people who
lived through those times and whose lives were either directly or
indirectly affected by social, military, political, and economic
fortunes. The main focus examines issues of discrimination, fate,
determination, community versus the individual, charity versus
greed, and the sheer will of ordinary people to transform a hostile
environment into a fertile land of productivity, inclusion, and
opportunity. It is hoped that this work might possibly provide a
fresh window of insight into developing a more constructive future.

Deleuze remains indifferent to the ambient pathos related to the
end of metaphysics and compares the undertakings of destruction,
overcoming and deconstruction of metaphysics with the gestures of
murderers. He considers himself "a pure metaphysician," which is
rather unique in the contemporary philosophical landscape. What are
we to make of this and similar claims? What do they mean in light
of the effort made during the last several centuries to overcome,
overturn, destroy, or deconstruct metaphysics? If we consider
Deleuze's work more closely, might find him engaging in the kind of
thinking that is commonly referred to as metaphysical? And if
Deleuze is indeed a metaphysician, does this undercut the many
insightful contributions of the twentieth century philosophers who
dedicate their thought to bringing down Western metaphysical
tradition? Or does it suggest that there is a sense of metaphysics
that should nevertheless be preserved? These and similar questions
are addressed in this volume by a series of international scholars.
The goal of the book is to critically engage an aspect of Deleuze's
thought that, for the most part, has been neglected, and to
understand better his "immanent metaphysics." It also seeks to
explore the consequences of such an engagement.
The Handbook of Cultural Health Psychology discusses the influence
of cultural beliefs, norms and values on illness, health and health
care. The major health problems that are confronting the global
village are discussed from a cultural perspective. These include
heart disease, cancer, HIV/AIDS, pain, and suicide. The cultural
beliefs and practices of several cultural groups and the unique
health issues confronting them are also presented. The cultural
groups discussed include Latinos, Aboriginal peoples, people of
African heritage, and South Asians. The handbook contributes to
increased personal awareness of the role of culture in health and
illness behavior, and to the delivery of culturally relevant health
care services.

This timely book investigates Black-Jewish estrangement and the
erosion of Black support for Israel. Topics such as the response of
Afro-Americans to the early Zionist movement; the emergence of the
Jewish state in the Middle East; the attitudes of such Black
luminaries as Marcus Garvey, W.E.B. Du Bois, Paul Robeson, and
Edward Wilmot Blyden; and Black reactions to the Arab-Israeli
conflicts of 1948, 1956, 1967, and 1973 are chronicled and
analyzed. The normalization of relations between Israel and the
Republic of South Africa in recent years is examined along with
Israel's ties with Black African countries, links between Arab and
African nations and South Africa, and alleged Israeli military and
nuclear collaboration with the apartheid regime. Another chapter
looks at the friction between the Israeli government and a sect of
Black Hebrew Israelites from the United States who settled in the
Negev and at Black American involvement in the matter. The
considerable effect that clashes over domestic questions, most
notably affirmative action, have had on Black perceptions is also
considered, as is the controversy between Jesse Jackson and the
Jewish community.
