Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are

Vaccine Law and Policy is the first book on vaccine law and policy
written specifically for the general public or an educated lay
audience without legal background. It offers comprehensive but
accessible coverage of key aspects of vaccine law and policy, from
product development and intellectual property protections, to
regulation, public mandates, and vaccine injury claims. The
COVID-19 pandemic sparked a growing interest in learning more about
vaccine law and policy, as vaccine development, access, safety and
requirements became relevant to hundreds of millions of people
worldwide. This book covers United States law in most detail, but
the developments and trends described have parallels in many
countries, and the United States model and its actions influence
others. Some of the most widely used vaccines against COVID-19 -
mRNA vaccines – were developed in the United States, and choices
made in the United States impact other countries. United States law
currently has so much to say about vaccines. From the federal
mandate President Biden enacted requiring federal employees to be
vaccinated against COVID-19, to the growing number of private
employers requiring vaccines to return to work, vaccine law has
become a prevalent topic in everyday life. But there is little
writing about the legal aspects of vaccines directed at the general
public or an educated lay audience without a legal background.
Vaccine Law and Policy will not only be invaluable to professionals
implementing vaccine law and policy, but also to regulators, public
health officials, and scientific researchers. Vaccine Law and
Policy covers the wide range of laws and policies that impact the
field. These include, among others, regulatory oversight by the
FDA, one of the most influential bodies in drug and vaccines
regulation worldwide, enforcement, and regulation of the research
and development of vaccines; vaccine mandates for children and in
the workplace, and medical, religious, and philosophical exemptions
to them; patent law and other intellectual property protections
such as trademark, trade secret, unfair competition, and copyright
law; compensation for vaccine injuries under the National Vaccine
Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) and other avenues of liability;
safety monitoring; access to vaccines, their promotion, and issues
related to funding and costs. The book will also discuss issues
related to anti-vaccine movements and vaccine advocacy.

Once upon a time, Nora and Soren made a fateful deal-if he gave her
everything, she would give him forever. The time has finally come
to keep their promises. Out of money and out of options after her
year-long exile, Eleanor Schreiber agrees to join forces with
Kingsley Edge, the king of kink. After her first taste of power as
a Dominant, Eleanor buries her old submissive self and transforms
into Mistress Nora, the Red Queen. With the help of a mysterious
young man with a job even more illicit than her own, Nora squares
off against a cunning rival in her quest to become the most
respected, the most feared Dominatrix in the Underground. While new
lovers and the sweet taste of freedom intoxicate Nora, she is
tempted time and time again by Soren, her only love and the one man
who refuses to bow to her. But when Soren accepts a new church
assignment in a dangerous country, she must make an agonizing
choice-will the queen keep her throne and let her lover go, or
trade in her crown for Soren's collar? WITH A SHATTERING FINAL
CONFESSION, THE LAST LINK IN THE CHAIN IS FORGED IN THE ORIGINAL
SINNERS SAGA. IT' S THE CLOSING CHAPTER IN A STORY OF SALVATION,
SACRIFICE AND THE MULTITUDE OF SCARS.
This book provides practical information about web archives, offers
inspiring examples for web archivists, raises new challenges, and
shares recent research results about access methods to explore
information from the past preserved by web archives. The book is
structured in six parts. Part 1 advocates for the importance of web
archives to preserve our collective memory in the digital era,
demonstrates the problem of web ephemera and shows how web
archiving activities have been trying to address this challenge.
Part 2 then focuses on different strategies for selecting web
content to be preserved and on the media types that different web
archives host. It provides an overview of efforts to address the
preservation of web content as well as smaller-scale but
high-quality collections of social media or audiovisual content.
Next, Part 3 presents examples of initiatives to improve access to
archived web information and provides an overview of access
mechanisms for web archives designed to be used by humans or
automatically accessed by machines. Part 4 presents research use
cases for web archives. It also discusses how to engage more
researchers in exploiting web archives and provides inspiring
research studies performed using the exploration of web archives.
Subsequently, Part 5 demonstrates that web archives should become
crucial infrastructures for modern connected societies. It makes
the case for developing web archives as research infrastructures
and presents several inspiring examples of added-value services
built on web archives. Lastly, Part 6 reflects on the evolution of
the web and the sustainability of web archiving activities. It
debates the requirements and challenges for web archives if they
are to assume the responsibility of being societal infrastructures
that enable the preservation of memory. This book targets academics
and advanced professionals in a broad range of research areas such
as digital humanities, social sciences, history, media studies and
information or computer science. It also aims to fill the need for
a scholarly overview to support lecturers who would like to
introduce web archiving into their courses by offering an initial
reference for students.

Ron (Jeremy Piven), Jonathan (Rob Lowe) and Tim (Christian McKay)

book published; Ron has made a great deal of money as a stockbroker
but is under investigation for embezzlement; Jonathan runs a
successful medical practice but has family problems; while Tim
blames himself for a recent fatal car crash. As the men consume
drugs, attempt to seduce women and party hard, their thoughts

younger - a pact that, if honoured, will have deadly
consequences...

Controlling Sex in Captivity is the first book to examine the
nature, extent and impact of the sexual activities of Axis
prisoners of war in the United States during the Second World War.
Historians have so far interpreted the interactions between captors
and captives in America as the beginning of the post-war friendship
between the United States, Germany and Italy. Matthias Reiss argues
that this paradigm is too simplistic. Widespread fraternisation
also led to sexual relationships which created significant negative
publicity, and some Axis POWs got caught up in the U.S. Army's new
campaign against homosexuals. By focusing on the fight against
fraternisation and same-sex activities, this study treads new
ground. It stresses that contact between captors and captives was
often loaded with conflict and influenced by perceptions of gender
and race. It highlights the transnational impact of fraternisation
and argues that the prisoners' sojourn in the United States also
influenced American society by fuelling a growing concern about
social disintegration and sexual deviancy, which eventually
triggered a conservative backlash after the war.

Science education, particularly school science education, has long
had an uneasy relationship with ethics, being unsure whether to
embrace ethics or leave it to others. In this book, the authors
argue that while the methods of science and of ethics are very
different, ethics plays a key role in how science is undertaken and
used. And so, ethics has a central place in science education,
whether we are talking of school science education, for students of
all ages, or the informal science education that takes place in
through internet, books, magazines, TV and radio, or in places such
as hospitals and zoos. Written for science educators based in
schools and elsewhere, the authors make no assumptions that the
reader has any knowledge of ethics beyond the background
understandings of morality that virtually all of us have. Empowered
with the knowledge shared in this book, readers will feel confident
about the place that ethics has in science education. The authors
provide a rich array of examples as to how science education, both
in school and out of school, and for all ages, can be enhanced
through including teaching about ethics.
