The pharmaceutical industry has encountered major shifts in recent
years, both within the industry, and in its external environment.
The cost of healthcare rising due to an ageing population, the
intensification of regulatory requirements and mergers within the
industry have led to an increased need for restructuring, cost
reduction and culture change projects. Project management is the
key to addressing these needs, and also to effective drug
development. Given the costs of development and the critical issue
of 'time to market', project management techniques - appropriately
used - are a key factor in bringing a drug to market. In this book,
Laura Brown and Tony Grundy's pharmaceutical expertise and
experience offers the reader a guide to the most relevant project
management tools and techniques and how to rigorously apply them in
the pharmaceutical industry. The authors cover the technical,
strategic and human aspects of project management, including
contingency planning, simulation techniques and different project
options. Complete with decision-tree diagrams, checklists,
exercises and a full glossary, Project Management for the
Pharmaceutical Industry provides clinical research, drug
development and quality assurance managers or directors with a
one-stop reference for successfully managing pharmaceutical
projects. The text has been revised for this edition and now
includes some additional material on risk management.

This original approach to value provides a foundation for a new
imaginative landscape in philosophy of law. "Value essentialism"
identifies value formations such as a sacred cow and scapegoat
tandem and the intensification of "oughtness" as it approaches
sacred zenith values. Readers learn how Occam's razor has been
responsible for the death of many ideas; how the celebrated Other
gains nuance as near and remote; and where a spectral assessment of
probability and necessity leads. Analyses of Supreme Court cases
grow out in different and exciting directions. Bell was not about
eugenics, but another iteration of the value of efficiency and Yo
Wick was as much about classism as it was about racism. Lochner
involved not an ideological binary but three distinct value
schemes. "Separate but equal" was refined as parallelism and
exploitative tangents. In Brown, the Fourteenth Amendment took a
significant subjective turn. In Heller, the communitarian position
of stopping violence before it could start could be contrasted with
the individualistic position of waiting until you see the whites of
their eyes in your bedroom. Citizens United represented the best
example of this axiological approach, raising the question: was the
First Amendment designed to maximize participation or maximize
democracy?
Diversity plays an important role in how people experience illness
and healthcare as patients. Listening carefully to stories of how
race, class, age, gender, sexuality, and disability can affect
patient experience can be revealing and provide much needed change
to health communication in the patienthood narrative. This book is
a collection of vibrant and engaging essays by scholars of
narrative methods in health communication. Each chapter takes
readers into the fascinating world of patients who use stories from
their personal lives to challenge us to rethink, reimagine, and
reformulate what health communication means in practice. Each
section of the book focuses on an important aspect of the theory
and practice of the patienthood narrative. Part one explores the
important ways that telling and sharing patient's stories can lead
to learning, empowerment, and advocacy. Part two explores several
key forms of diversity and how they affect patienthood. Part three
illustrates how personal, relational, and cultural aspects of
identity intersect to shape the patient experience.

Diversity and Complexity in Feminist Therapy is an unprecedented
new book that focuses on incorporating, appreciating, and building
on the differences among women. Multicultural in content and
authorship, this intellectually and emotionally stimulating volume
breaks new ground in the development of theory in feminist therapy.
Chapters run the gamut from highly theoretical works that challenge
us to examine the validity of current male, Western psychological
theories, to the very personal story of one woman's struggle with
oppression and her respect for the differences between her
experiences of oppression and other women's experiences. You will
also find provocative, creative, and diverse chapters that address
women's development as it relates to their ethnic, religious,
socioeconomic, sexual, and age differences. The one pervasive truth
throughout this unique book is that feminist therapy must be based
on the experiences of all women in order to be truly representative
of women in the United States. Diversity and Complexity in Feminist
Therapy is a first step in moving feminist therapy to a more
inclusive, global perspective and back into a more political and
activist stance against the oppression that we all want to defeat.
more from mq: introduces feminist therapists and other interested
feminist behavioral scientists to an anti-racist and multicultural
perspective on feminist therapy, both at the level of theory and
practice. This volume is unique in several ways. One of them is in
the emphasis on the development of a theoretical model for feminist
therapy. While much has been and continues to be written about
applications of feminist therapy, theory-building has been
neglected. This volume focuses on the necessity of taking an
explicitly anti-racist and multicultural perspective for such
theory to be truly feminst. A second unique aspect--very close and
detailed attention to feminist therapy practice with people of
color, both within and outside of US culture. While this issue has
been addressed in a piece-meal fashion elsewhere, or has been
addressed primarily by activists challenging racism within feminist
therapy, this volume offers the work of feminist therapists
themselves applying feminist analyses and principles. Volume is
also unique in the degree to which its author represent a diverse
group within feminist therapy. This volume is not only
multicultural in its intent, but also in its creation.HPP Diversity

This volume and its companion, The new dynamics of ageing volume 1,
provide comprehensive multi-disciplinary overviews of the very
latest research on ageing. Together they report the outcomes of the
most concerted investigation ever undertaken into both the
influence shaping the changing nature of ageing and its
consequences for individuals and society. This book concentrates on
four major themes: autonomy and independence in later life, biology
and ageing, food and nutrition and representation of old age. Each
chapter provides a state of the art topic summary as well as
reporting the essential research findings from New Dynamics of
Ageing research projects. There is a strong emphasis on the
practical implications of ageing and how evidence-based policies,
practices and new products can produce individual and societal
benefits.
The Counterhuman Imaginary proposes that alongside the historical,
social, and institutional structures of human reality that seem to
be the sole subject of the literary text, an other-than-human world
is everywhere in evidence. Laura Brown finds that within
eighteenth-century British literature, the human cultural imaginary
can be seen, equally, as a counterhuman imaginary—an alternative
realm whose scope and terms exceed human understanding or order.
Through close readings of works by Daniel Defoe, Jonathan Swift,
and Alexander Pope, along with lapdog lyrics, circulation
narratives that give agency to inanimate objects like coins and
carriages, and poetry about the Lisbon earthquake of 1755, Brown
traces the ways presence and power of the nonhuman—weather,
natural disasters, animals, even the concept of love—not only
influence human creativity, subjectivity, and history but are
inseparable from them. Traversing literary theory, animal studies,
new materialism, ecocriticism, and affect theory, The Counterhuman
Imaginary offers an original repudiation of the centrality of the
human to advance an integrative new methodology for reading chaos,
fluidity, force, and impossibility in literary culture.
