Biomedical research is increasingly carried out in low- and
middle-income countries. International consensus has largely been
achieved around the importance of valid consent and protecting
research participants from harm. But what are the responsibilities
of researchers and funders to share the benefits of their research
with research participants and their communities? After setting out
the legal, ethical and conceptual frameworks for benefit sharing,
this collection analyses seven historical cases to identify the
ethical and policy challenges that arise in relation to benefit
sharing. A series of recommendations address possible ways forward
to achieve justice for research participants in low- and
middle-income countries.
The Trauma of Captivity seeks to shed new light on a forgotten
aspect of what it meant to be a prisoner of war: their homecoming.
With primary source archive content and interviews with family
members of prisoners of war from the Second World War, as well as
the diary entries of a prisoner of war from the First World War,
this book asks the question: what happened to prisoners of war when
they returned home? Sons and daughters of returned prisoners of war
share their harrowing stories of having a POW for a parent. The
Trauma of Captivity also features a lengthy interview with
modern-day prisoner of war John Peters, the RAF fast jet pilot who
was captured when his Tornado plane crashed in the desert during
the Gulf War. The Trauma of Captivity focuses on what help and
support was made available to returning prisoners of war and how
they fought to rediscover their roles in society.

A History of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts: Brownies, Rainbows and
WAGGGS charts the evolution of the Girl Guides and Girl Scouts from
its early days as a movement started before WW1 right through to
the modern day. With real life interviews with Girl Guides and Girl
Scouts from their 90s down to young children, this book looks at
what being a Girl Guide has meant through the ages up to the
present day. With dramatic and often emotional stories of what it
was like to be an evacuated Brownie in the Second World War, a
disabled Girl Guide and with tales of girls' heroism throughout the
two great wars, this book extols the Guiding and Scouting movement
as one that has evolved with women and girls' rights and its hopes
for the future.
