This book is a bold prescription for local government reform that moves well beyond the old arguments regarding consolidations (also referred to as amalgamations) and co-operation (sometimes referred to as shared services) to paint a picture of an efficient, effective tier of government that strikes a balance between the right of persons to pursue their existential ends and the need to promote the common good. The book presents a system of local government that balances human dignity with the common good, restrains Leviathan, provides a voice for the disenfranchised (and even the disinterested), and delivers goods and services efficiently and effectively. Ironically, what is often argued to be the weakness of local government in many jurisdictions - the fact that it is merely a creature of statute - is also the best hope we have of making the oft cited rhetoric about how 'local government is the closest to the people that serves the people best' become reality.

Since the dawn of civilisation philosophers and sages alike have been concerned about the potential for government to become a Leviathan-like monster. In this book Professor Drew shows how a careful application of natural law principles can mitigate this threat of Leviathan and also contribute to the flourishing of people. To do so Natural Law and Government examines the trade-off between human dignity and the common good during the public policy response to COVID-19. Specifically, Professor Drew details his concerns regarding the emergence of concentrations of power and competence in government - changes that have sadly given rise to the repression of the vitality of citizens. This ground-breaking work explains the changes to thinking, institutions and public management that are necessary for people to reclaim their right to thrive as humans. In sum, this is a handbook for what needs to be done after the COVID-19 revolution.

This book brings together the refereed proceedings of the 24th Annual Conference of the Australian Association of Professional and Applied Ethics (AAPAE) 'Applied Ethics in the Fractured State', held at the Institute for Public Policy and Governance, University of Technology Sydney in June 2017. The book is eclectic, with chapters on health regulation in Australia, Eastern ethical theorising (Confucianism; Buddhism), euthanasia and community engagement, all of which are examined from the unique perspective that Research in Ethical Issues in Organizations affords its contributors.

Die Phlebographie hat fUr die Diagnostik der Venenerkrankungen zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen. 1m Gegensatz zur Phlebographie der unteren Glied- maBen fehlte bisher eine zusammenfassende Abhandlung uber die Phlebographie der oberen KorperhaJfte. Diese Monographie will einen Oberblick uber das normale Venenkontrastbild von Oberarm, Schulter, Hals und Mediastinum geben. An Hand eines Beobachtungsgutes von annahernd 500 Phlebogrammen und Angio- kardiogrammen werden nicht nur die Hauptvenenstamme sondern auch eine An- zahl von Nebenasten der V. axillaris, subclavia und anonyma beschrieben. Beson- derer Wert wird auf die Darstellung von Venenvarietaten gelegt, die haufig nicht nur ein theoretisches Interesse beanspruchen, sondern bei operativen Eingriffen vor allem im Bereich der Achselhohle und Supraclaviculargegend auch groBe praktische Bedeutung erlangen konnen. Ferner wird auf verschiedene hamo- dynamisch bedingte Phanomene, die in Form von scheinbaren Stenosen, Blockie- rungen der Kontrastmittelsaule und sog. Pelotteneffekten insbesondere an der V. subclavia zu beobachten sind, naher eingegangen. Dies erscheint deshalb wich- tig, weil diese Phanomene und Effekte, wenn man sie nicht kennt, leicht mit pathologischen Veneneinengungen, -verstopfungen oder -kompressionen zu ver- wechseln sind, wahrend sie in Wirklichkeit nur Varianten des normalen Kontrast- bildes darstellen, die durch das Wechselspiel von Klappenoffnung und Klappen- schluB zustande kommen. Herrn Prof. Dr. H. VIETEN und seinem Oberarzt, Herrn Dozent Dr. H. GREM- MEL, danke ich fur die Bereitstellung des Bildmaterials und fUr wertvolle Rat- schlage. Moge diese Schrift dazu dienen, die Kenntnis des normalen Venenkontrastbildes der oberen Korperregion zu erweitern, um Fehldeutungen zu vermeiden und die Ausdeutung von Phlebogrammen bei pathologischen AbftuBstorungen zu erleich- tern.
