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.

New York Times bestseller Journey into the universe through the
most spectacular sights in astronomy in stereoscopic 3D Welcome to
the Universe in 3D takes you on a grand tour of the observable
universe, guiding you through the most spectacular sights in the
cosmos-in breathtaking 3D. Presenting a rich array of stereoscopic
color images, which can be viewed in 3D using a special stereo
viewer that folds easily out of the cover of the book, this book
reveals your cosmic environment as you have never seen it before.
Astronomy is the story of how humankind's perception of the
two-dimensional dome of the sky evolved into a far deeper
comprehension of an expanding three-dimensional cosmos. This book
invites you to take part in this story by exploring the universe in
depth, as revealed by cutting-edge astronomical research and
observations. You will journey from the Moon through the solar
system, out to exoplanets, distant nebulas, and galaxy clusters,
until you finally reach the cosmic microwave background radiation
(or CMB), the most distant light we can observe. The distances to
these celestial wonders range from 1.3 light-seconds to 13.8
billion light-years. Along the way, the authors explain the
fascinating features of what you are seeing, including how the 3D
images were made using the same technique that early astronomers
devised to measure distances to objects in space. The dramatic 3D
images in this one-of-a-kind book will astonish you, extending your
vision out to the farthest reaches of the universe. You will never
look up into the night sky the same way again.
The Book of Mormon is an influential and controversial book. It
launched a religious movement, has been believed by millions to be
scripture, and has been derided by others as fraudulent. Despite
this (or perhaps as a result), the book's contents have been
subject to both academic neglect and popular myth. This book
challenges some of that neglect by examining the Book of Mormon
through the lens of its relationship with the Bible: a work which
the Book of Mormon openly quotes and expects to be read alongside,
and the only text which everyone agrees is connected to the Book of
Mormon. Through close examination of the Book of Mormon text and
biblical parallels, including three substantial case studies, this
book examines the ways in which the Book of Mormon draws upon and
interprets the biblical text. This book demonstrates the complexity
with which the Book of Mormon handles biblical material, and the
close correlation between its reading of the Bible and the Book of
Mormon's own core themes.
A pocket-style edition based on the New York Times bestseller A
Brief Welcome to the Universe offers a breathtaking tour of the
cosmos, from planets, stars, and galaxies to black holes and time
loops. Bestselling authors and acclaimed astrophysicists Neil
deGrasse Tyson, Michael A. Strauss, and J. Richard Gott take
readers on an unforgettable journey of exploration to reveal how
our universe actually works. Propelling you from our home solar
system to the outermost frontiers of space, this book builds your
cosmic insight and perspective through a marvelously entertaining
narrative. How do stars live and die? What are the prospects of
intelligent life elsewhere in the universe? How did the universe
begin? Why is it expanding and accelerating? Is our universe alone
or part of an infinite multiverse? Exploring these and many other
questions, this pocket-friendly book is your passport into the
wonders of our evolving cosmos.
Behavioral medicine emerged in the 1970s as the interdisciplinary
field concerned with the integration of behavioral, psychosocial,
and biomedical science knowledge relevant to the understanding of
health and illness, and the application of this knowledge to
prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. Recent years
have witnessed an enormous diversification of behavioral medicine,
with new sciences (such as genetics, life course epidemiology) and
new technologies (such as neuroimaging) coming into play. This book
brings together such new developments by providing an up-to-date
compendium of methods and applications drawn from the broad range
of behavioral medicine research and practice. The book is divided
into 10 sections that address key fields in behavioral medicine.
Each section begins with one or two methodological or conceptual
chapters, followed by contributions that address substantive topics
within that field. Major health problems such as cardiovascular
disease, cancer, HIV/AIDs, and obesity are explored from multiple
perspectives. The aim is to present behavioral medicine as an
integrative discipline, involving diverse methodologies and
paradigms that converge on health and well being."
On their return to New Mexico from El Paso after the 1680 Pueblo
Revolt, the New Mexican settlers were confronted with continuous
raids by hostile Indians tribes, disease and an inhospitable
landscape. In spite of this, in the early and mid-eighteenth
century, the New Mexicans went about their daily lives as best they
could, as shown in original documents from the time. The documents
show them making deals, traveling around the countryside and to and
from El Paso and Mexico City, complaining about and arguing with
each other, holding festivals, and making plans for the future of
their children. It also shows them interacting with the presidio
soldiers, the Franciscan friars and Inquisition officials, El Paso
and Chihuahua merchants, the occasional Frenchman, and their Pueblo
Indian allies. Because many of the documents include oral
testimony, we are able to read what they had to say, sometimes
angry, asking for help, or giving excuses for their behavior, as
written down by a scribe at the time. This book includes fifty-four
original handwritten documents from the early and mid-eighteenth
century. Most of the original documents are located in the Spanish
Archives of New Mexico, although some are from the Bancroft Library
at the University of California at Berkeley, the Archivo General de
la Nacion in Mexico City, and elsewhere. They were selected for
their description of Spanish Colonial life, of interest to the many
descendants of the characters that appear in them, and because they
tell a good story. A translation and transcription of each document
is included as well as a synopsis, background notes, and
biographical notes. They can be considered a companion, in part, to
Ralph Emerson Twitchell's 1914 two volumes, "The Spanish Archives
of New Mexico," summarizing the documents of the Spanish Archives
of New Mexico, now available in new editions from Sunstone Press.

This the first sustained study of the interest of John Ruskin in
the theatre of his time. It examines Ruskin's active engagement
with and influence on the Victorian popular theatre. Ruskin was an
enthusiastic and catholic theatre-goer, enjoying pantomime as much
as Shakespeare. Through the lens of Ruskin's discussions of
pantomime, melodrama, Shakespearean tragedy, and painting and the
stage, Newey and Richards offer a new view of the late Victorian
stage focusing on London's West End in its heyday.
