Synopsis

Medication Error Rates investigates the pressing issue of medication errors within hospitals, highlighting their frequency, causes, and impact on patient safety and healthcare outcomes. These errors, which can occur during prescribing, dispensing, or administration, not only endanger patients but also impose a substantial financial burden on healthcare systems. The book emphasizes the necessity of understanding the factors that contribute to these errors, from workload and communication breakdowns to inadequate training and technology-related issues, to implement effective prevention strategies.

 
The book uniquely integrates diverse data sources, providing a comprehensive view of medication error trends in clinical settings. It connects concepts from pharmacology, healthcare administration, and human factors engineering to address systemic inadequacies and design safer systems. By analyzing specific error types, such as wrong dose administrations and drug-drug interaction oversights, the book pinpoints high-risk medications and patient groups. For instance, errors related to high-alert medications like insulin and anticoagulants can have particularly severe consequences.

 
Structured to systematically address medication safety, the book begins with fundamental concepts and error classification. It progresses through the root causes and specific error types, culminating in evidence-based prevention and mitigation strategies. These strategies include technological solutions, policy enhancements, and staff training programs, all aimed at improving medication management and reducing preventable medication errors.

    Sirius, the Star of the Maltese Temples invites the reader to look at the megalithic temples of Malta in an entirely new way. The discovery of the temples’ orientation to Sirius explains with mathematical precision the slight shift in the direction of their axes, caused by the movement of the stars called the Precession of the Equinoxes. The resultant astronomical dating of the temples to the Mesolithic, the period immediately after the last Ice Age, is far older than mainstream archaeology maintains and is on a par with other megalithic sites elsewhere, including Göbekli Tepe in Turkey. These findings turn on its head our conception of the accomplishments of ancient people. Instead of being just primitive cave-dwellers, they were primeval astronomers, whose interest in the sky has left us a legacy we never dreamt existed. 
    From the Foreword by Giovanni Bonello: “This is a disturbing book. The author defines its contents as controversial and its conclusions as surprising. I judge it to be far, but far, more than that. It is disruptive of accepted wisdom and unsettles all we believe we knew of the origin of man in Malta, of the sequences of early civilization and the histories of prehistory – not in Malta alone, but throughout the whole of Europe. I started reading it in awe, at first with a deliberate effort at disbelief. By the time I was approaching the climax of the exposition, I ended as mesmerized as I was perplexed.” 
    (Giovanni Bonello is a human rights lawyer and judge who served at the European Court of Human Rights for 12 years)

    In the annals of modern history, few inventions have cast as long and dark a shadow as the atomic bomb. Its birth marked a seismic shift in human capability, wielding the power to obliterate entire cities and reshape geopolitical landscapes. Yet, from its inception, the atom's power has not merely been a matter of spectacle but of concealment. Beneath the publicized detonations and treaty negotiations lies a quieter, more insidious game—one where nations and non-state actors seek to hide their most devastating weapons in plain sight. 
    This hidden game began almost as soon as the atomic bomb was developed. During the Manhattan Project, secrecy was paramount, not just to protect scientific progress but to ensure strategic advantage. The veil of secrecy surrounding nuclear weapons set the stage for an enduring tradition of concealment. As the technology proliferated, so too did the techniques for hiding these weapons: underground silos, mobile launchers, and entire programs buried under bureaucratic misdirection. The Cold War, in particular, saw the emergence of elaborate strategies of obfuscation, where intelligence agencies and military powers engaged in a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek. 
    At the heart of this game lies a paradox. The destructive potential of nuclear weapons is unparalleled, yet their true power is magnified when shrouded in uncertainty. A hidden arsenal not only evades preemptive strikes but also exerts a psychological toll on adversaries, forcing them to account for every possibility. This uncertainty has become a tool of diplomacy, coercion, and deterrence, embedding itself deeply into the fabric of international relations.

    Is a zebra black with white stripes or white with black stripes? And why do flamingos stand on one leg while bats hang upside down? Did you know that a chameleon’s tongue can shoot out at five times the acceleration of a fighter jet? 
    In The Buck That Buries its Poo, naturalist Quinton Coetzee answers these and many other intriguing wildlife questions. He also dispels countless myths and elucidates some of the legends that surround 
    creatures in the South African bush we thought we knew all about. For example, bats do not get tangled in people’s hair (because they are far too adept at flying) and elephants are not afraid of mice (but they do fear bees!). 
    Other tall tales you might hear around the campfire are that lions roll in animal dung, entrails or carcasses to disguise their scent, and that rhinos have a predilection for stamping out fires. What is true, though, is that hyenas are more closely related to cats than to dogs. This handy guide is based on Coetzee’s own research and that of others, and his experience gleaned over decades living close to nature and wildlife. It seeks to unravel the mysteries of nature in Africa – from mammals and birds to arthropods and plants – with fascinating information and fun trivia. It is a book that will enlighten and entertain. 
    PS: Zebras are black with white stripes!
