Making a Medicine is the latest book in the dynamic popular science genre. Taking medicines when you're ill is something we have all done, yet very few of us have any idea of how they are made and why they have been given to them. Most of us go to the doctor, get a prescription and take the medicine dispensed by the chemist. Some patients don't realise there is a choice or feel it would be rude to ask for something else. Doctors often feel under pressure to prescribe to meet the patient's expectations. Increasingly we are becoming more aware of the medicines we take. This may be a consequence of our exposure to medical breakthroughs in the media and an increased interest in science in general. Maybe it is more acceptable to question what we are told and are mindful of scandals or misleading information from the past. This isn't limited to patients, doctors have been victims of aggressive or even untrue marketing by pharmaceutical companies. Better access to the informat

Kaum etwas bewegt uns so sehr wie die Begegnung mit dem Tod. Kaum etwas geschieht heute so verborgen wie das Sterben. Die Journalistin Beate Lakotta und der Fotograf Walter Schels baten Schwerstkranke, sie in den letzten Wochen begleiten zu dürfen. Aus diesen Begegnungen entstanden einfühlsame Schilderungen und Fotos von Menschen am Ende ihres Lebens. Die meisten verbrachten ihre letzte Zeit im Hospiz, einem Lebensort für Sterbende, an dem Hoffnungen und Ängste gleich wiegen: Wer hier einzieht, wird die Zeit bis zum Tod so bewußt und schmerzfrei wie möglich erleben können. Doch es bleibt ihm nur eine kurze Spanne, um Bilanz zu ziehen, Frieden mit sich und den anderen zu machen, sich mit dem Tod zu befassen und mit der Frage nach dem Danach. Fünfundzwanzig Geschichten von Menschen, die unheilbar krank sind, die davon erzählen wie es ist, dem Tod sehr nahe zu sein und Abschied vom Leben nehmen zu müssen. Eindrucksvolle Porträts, aufgenommen kurze Zeit vor und unmittelbar nach dem Tod, be

Before the Civil War, colonization schemes and black laws threatened to deport former slaves born in the United States. Birthright Citizens recovers the story of how African American activists remade national belonging through battles in legislatures, conventions, and courthouses. They faced formidable opposition, most notoriously from the US Supreme Court decision in Dred Scott. Still, Martha S. Jones explains, no single case defined their status. Former slaves studied law, secured allies, and conducted themselves like citizens, establishing their status through local, everyday claims. All along they argued that birth guaranteed their rights. With fresh archival sources and an ambitious reframing of constitutional law-making before the Civil War, Jones shows how the Fourteenth Amendment constitutionalized the birthright principle, and black Americans' aspirations were realized. Birthright Citizens tells how African American activists radically transformed the terms of citizenship

"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." In these recently discovered accounts, sealed and hidden from prying eyes for almost eighty years, Dr. John H. Watson puts pen to paper once more, as he accompanies his friend, that most rational of detectives, Mr. Sherlock Holmes in the utterly irrational realm of the otherworldly, the uncanny, and the supernatural. Enter the gaslit world of Holmes and Watson - a world caught halfway between the bright glare of science and logic and the darker clutches of superstition and fear - a world of unknown creatures, secret seances, ancient curses, and forbidden knowledge - where the enquiring mind of the world's first consulting detective must search for the answer to some new and challenging questions... What was it about the loathsome contents of a match-box that sent an apparently fearless man stark staring mad? How can Sherlock Holmes be called upon to investigate a murder whe

A fascinating and comprehensive history, 'Demanding the Impossible' is a challenging and thought-provoking exploration of anarchist ideas and actions from ancient times to the present day. Navigating the broad 'river of anarchy', from Taoism to Situationism, from Ranters to Punk rockers, from individualists to communists, from anarcho-syndicalists to anarcha-feminists, 'Demanding the Impossible' is an authoritative and lively study of a widely misunderstood subject. It explores the key anarchist concepts of society and the state, freedom and equality, authority and power and investigates the successes and failure of the anarchist movements throughout the world. While remaining sympathetic to anarchism, it presents a balanced and critical account. It covers not only the classic anarchist thinkers, such as Godwin, Proudhon, Bakunin, Kropotkin, Reclus and Emma Goldman, but also other libertarian figures, such as Nietzsche, Camus, Gandhi, Foucault and Chomsky.

Die Sprachwissenschaft ist eine schwierige Wissenschaft- bei Wolf Schneider jedoch ist sie in einer Übersicht von höchster Lesbarkeit dargeboten, von Platon über Humboldt und Friedrich Engels bis zu Noam Chomsky. Darüber hinaus untersucht das Buch Bereiche, die von der Sprachwissenschaft vernachlässigt werden: die politische Sprengkraft der Wörter; ihre erstaunliche Rolle als Tröster in der Not und Einsamkeit; und das traurige Spiel, das viele Zeitungen und Fernsehsendungen, amtliche Bekanntmachungen und Lexika mit der Verständlichkeit von Texten treiben. Dies alles prall von Beispielen aus dem Alltag und Belegen aus Geschichte und Literatur, wobei Christian Morgenstern und Heinrich Böll so wenig fehlen wie Hitler und die Psalmen. Ein Lexikon der Sprachwissenschaften ergänzt den Text und liefert das systematische Handbuch als Dreingabe zur fesselnden Lektüre. Product details

This volume explores the grammar of Niuean, an endangered Polynesian language spoken on the island of Niue and in New Zealand, with a focus on the issue of predication. Since Aristotle, it has been claimed that a sentence consists of a subject and a predicate. Niuean constitutes the perfect testing ground for this claim: it displays verb-subject-object word order, in which the subject interrupts the predicate, and has an ergative case system, in which subjects are not clearly distinguished from objects in their marking for grammatical case. Diane Massam uses the framework of generative grammar to carry out a detailed analysis of the internal structure of Niuean predicates and arguments, as well as the relations between them, touching on many other topics including the nature of displacement, word formation, determiners, and thematic roles. The proposal is that Niuean complex predicates are formed via successive inversion, prior to the merge of all arguments (high argument merge), and

Xenophon's History recounts nearly fifty turbulent years of warfare in Greece between 411 and 362 BC. Continuing the story of the Peloponnesian War at the point where Thucydides finished his magisterial history, this is a fascinating chronicle of the conflicts that ultimately led to the decline of Greece, and the wars with both Thebes and the might of Persia. An Athenian by birth, Xenophon became a firm supporter of the Spartan cause, and fought against the Athenians in the battle of Coronea. Combining history and memoir, this is a brilliant account of the triumphs and failures of city-states, and a portrait of Greece at a time of crisis. Product details Format Paperback | 432 pages
