This timely book emphasizes the importance of regulation in
enabling and channelling innovation at a time when technology is
increasingly embedded in healthcare. It considers the adequacy of
current regulatory approaches, identifying apparent gaps, risks and
liabilities, and discusses how these might be collectively
addressed. The authors present possible solutions that balance the
protection and promotion of public trust in healthcare against
enabling technological progress and disruptive innovation. Offering
both a theoretical and practical approach to challenges at the
intersection of healthcare, law and technology, this
thought-provoking book explores broad questions of regulation and
innovation before analysing contextual applications of these
topics. It moves from a wide-ranging consideration of the
polycentric and changing nature of health regulation through to a
more specific examination of topics including patient consent, the
role of device representatives, privacy, artificial intelligence
and big data. Providing an international perspective, Technology,
Innovation and Healthcare will be a valuable resource for scholars
and students of health law, innovation, technology law, law and
development and law and society. It will also be of benefit to
lawyers, healthcare professionals, technology developers and policy
makers, seeking to better integrate technology with healthcare.
Fresh examinations of one of the most important church furnishings
of the middle ages. The churches of medieval Europe contained
richly carved and painted screens, placed between the altar and the
congregation; they survive in particularly high numbers in England,
despite being partly dismantled during the Reformation. While these
screens divided "lay" from "priestly" jurisdiction, it has also
been argued that they served to unify architectural space. This
volume brings together the latest scholarship on the subject ,
exploring in detail numerous aspects of the construction and
painting of screens, it aims in particular to unite perspectives
from science and art history. Examples are drawn from a wide
geographical range, from Scandinavia to Italy.
Stained glass is arguably the most appealing of the achievements of
the medieval craftsman, synthesizing monumental painting with the
best of medieval architecture, but it is also the least-understood
of the medieval arts. Drawing upon recent research in English
medieval art-historical studies, "English Medieval Stained Glass"
is a comprehensive survey of the art and business of producing
stained glass windows, intended to both stimulate further research
and to heighten awareness of the need to preserve this fragile art
form. It considers stained glass in relation to architecture and
other arts and, by examining contemporary documents, it throws
valuable light on workshop organization, prices, patronage and
iconography. Stained glass attracted outstanding craftsmen who were
in the forefront of the main artistic innovations in English
medieval art. Their significance is highlighted in this study which
also makes use of the plentiful documentary material which throws
light on workshop organization and practice, the role of patrons
and the important contribution made by stained glass to our
knowledge of medieval religions, beliefs and cults.
The first modern study of the medium, this book considers stained
glass in relation to architecture and other arts, and by examining
contemporary documents, it throws valuable light on workshop
organisation, prices and patronage.
We all have these. Sometimes, they can be the most wonderful
treasure this world has to offer. At other times, they can break
your heart. I'm talking about relationships. Everybody has a myriad
of different relationships in this adventure called life. Each
relationship has its own dynamics, its own foibles, and its own
language. We interact with parents, children, siblings, co-workers,
spouses, authority, and, for some, even God. The greatest resource
of joy, progress, hope, and prosperity is in connections with each
other.
But the problem is that the way we develop, sustain, and
communicate in relationships is unhealthy. The reason they are
unhealthy is because we as individuals bring error into them from
the past and from harmful views of ourselves. If you can't think
healthy about yourself, how can you interrelate with others in
beneficial relationships? How can you have a strong family and an
intimate love life if you don't know how to communicate or meet
each other's needs? What would be the purpose of building
friendships if you don't know how to nurture and sustain them?
This book is designed to answer all those questions and more.
Each chapter builds on how to improve yourself, your self-image,
and the relationships around you. You will discover from documented
research how your brain works in diverse situations, the different
ways you handle conflict, how to communicate effectively with
others, and how to build the theme of "Us-ness" in life's important
relationships and much more.

When Freddie Mercury died in 1991, aged just 45, the world was
rocked by the vibrant and flamboyant star's tragic secret that he
had been battling AIDS. The announcement of his diagnosis reached
them less than 24-hours before his death, shocking his millions of
fans, and fully opening the eyes of the world to the destructive
and fatal disease. In Somebody to Love, biographers Mark Langthorne
and Matt Richards skilfully weave Freddie's pursuit of musical
greatness with Queen, his upbringing and endless search for love,
with the origins and aftermath of a terrible disease that swept
across the world in the 1980s. With brand new perspectives from
Freddie's closest friends and fellow musicians, this unique and
deeply moving tribute casts a very different light on his death. An
intimate read, like Freddie and his art, it will stay with you for
a long time to come.
