The EU-NATO relationship continues to develop at a time of
significant change for both organizations. Post 9/11, NATO embarked
on a fundamental transformation, recasting itself as an
organization with global strategic reach and interest, focused less
on Europe than ever before. At the same time, the EU is also
becoming a more global political actor. Consequently, there is
growing evidence that over time the EU will take the primary place
in providing military security in Europe. This volume combines
political and legal methods to provide a comprehensive analysis of
the current and likely future relationship between the EU and NATO.
The work will be of interest to all those interested in the
development of these two major organizations and international
security more generally, whether from a political or legal
perspective.
Originally published in 1983, in the two decades prior to
publication, specialised neonatal units for the treatment of sick
or preterm babies had been set up in most major neonatal centres.
In the early years these units did little to prevent separation of
parents and babies and evidence accumulated of the ill effects of
this situation. In addition, we had gradually become aware of the
difficulties of building a relationship with a sick or immature
baby even under more ideal circumstances. This book, in a series of
authoritative review chapters, sets out to describe the process by
which social relationships develop after birth and the ways in
which this process may be distorted by separation, the condition of
the baby or by the process of medical treatment. Experienced
practitioners describe practical steps which may be taken to
support parents and foster their relationship with their babies in
treatment situations. The final section of the book examines the
organisation of neonatal care in a number of widely different
settings and indicates that diverse approaches may be successful in
achieving the same ends.
The vegetative state - a condition in which someone is awake but
unaware with no evidence of a working mind - is both emotive and
challenging. This condition and that of someone who gains partial
recovery of mental and neurological functions - known as the
minimally conscious state - have provoked intense debate and
considerable interest amongst scientists, health care
professionals, ethicists, philosophers and lawyers. This unique
special issue unites many experts in the field to review and
discuss the many advances made in our understanding of these
conditions. The strength of this special issue lies in the wide
range of topics discussed - from definitions and diagnostic
criteria to hotly debated topics such as whether a person in the
vegetative state is truly unaware. This edition will serve as both
a useful reference to those caring for people in these conditions
as well as to those investigating the physiological basis of human
consciousness.

Mitochondrial DNA is one of the most closely explored genetic
systems, because it can tell us so much about the human past. This
book takes a unique perspective, presenting the disparate strands
that must be tied together to exploit this system. From molecular
biology to anthropology, statistics to ancient DNA, this first
volume of three presents a comprehensive global picture and a
critical appraisal of human mitochondrial DNA variation.
In recent years sociologists of sciences have become more
interested in scien tific elites, in the way they direct and
control the development of sciences and, beyond that, in which the
organization of research facilities and resources generally affects
research strategies and goals. In this volume we focus on
scientific establishments and hierarchies as a means of bringing
aspects of these concerns together in their historical and
comparative contexts. These terms draw attention to the fact that
much scientific work has been pursued within a highly specific
organizational setting, that of universities and aca demic research
institutes. The effects of this organizational setting as well as
its power relations, and its resources in relation to governmental
and other non-scientific establishments in society at large,
deserve closer attention. One significant aspect of scientific
establishments and hierarchies and of the power relations impinging
upon scientific research, is the fact that the bulk of leading
scientists have the professional career, qualifications and status
of a professor. As heads or senior members of departments,
institutes and laboratories, professors form the ruling groups of
scientific work. They are the main defenders of scientific - or
departmental - autonomy, accept or resist innovations in their
field, play a leading part in fighting scientific controversies or
establishing consensus. Even where research units are not directly
controlled by professors, authority structures usually remain
strongly hierarchical. These hierarchies too deserve attention in
any explora tion of the social characteristics of scientific
knowledge and its production."

In the wake of the explosion in the production of essay films over
the last 25 years and its subsequent theorization in scholarly
literature, this volume seeks to historicize these intertwined
developments within the 'long duree' of the 20th century and into
the 21st. By raising the issue of 'beyond the essay film', this
collection seeks not only to acknowledge the influential
predecessors of this - in the view of many critics, the most
interesting type of contemporary filmmaking - but also to speculate
about its possible transformation as we move forward into the
uncharted waters of the 21st - digital - century. Beyond the Essay
Film focusses on three specific axes that underpin and shape the
articulation of the essay film as a specific cultural form -
subjectivity, textuality, and technology - to explore how changes
along and across these dimensions affect historical shifts within
the essay-film practice and its relation to other types of cinema
and neighbouring art forms.
The expanding remit of policing as a fundamental part of the public
health continuum is increasingly acknowledged on the international
scene. Similarly the growing role of health professionals as
brokers of public safety means that the need for scholarly
resources for developing knowledge and broadening theoretical
positioning and questioning is becoming urgent and crucial. The
fields of law enforcement and public health are beginning to
understand the inextricable links between public safety and public
health and the need to shift policies and practices towards more
integrated practices. This book comes as a first, an utterly timely
scholarly collection that brings together the views of
multidisciplinary commentators on a wide range of issues and
disciplines within the law enforcement and public health (LEPH)
arena. The book addresses the more conceptual aspects of the
relationship as well as more applied fields of collaboration, and
the authors describe and analyze a range of service delivery
examples taken from real-life instances of partnerships in action.
Among the topics covered: Defund, Dismantle or Define Law
Enforcement, Public Health, and Vulnerability Law Enforcement and
Mental Health: The Missing Middle The Challenges of Sustaining
Partnerships and the Diversification of Cultures Using Public
Health Concepts and Metrics to Guide Policing Strategy and Practice
Policing Pandemics Law Enforcement and Public Health: Partners for
Community Safety and Wellbeing is essential reading for a wide
array of professions and areas of expertise in the intersectoral
field of LEPH. It is an indispensable resource for public health
and law enforcement specialists (practitioners, educators,
scholars, and researchers) and training programs across the world,
as well as individuals interested in developing their knowledge and
capacity to respond to complex LEPH issues in the field, including
public prosecutors, coroners, and the judiciary. The text also can
be used for undergraduate and postgraduate university policing,
criminology, sociology, psychology, social work, public health, and
medicine programs.
