The Accidental Ecosystem -...

Peter S. Alagona

The Accidental Ecosystem tells the story of how cities across the United States went from having little wildlife to filling, dramatically and unexpectedly, with wild creatures. Today, many of these cities have more wild animals living in them than at any time in at least the past 150 years. Why have so many cities—the most artificial and human-dominated of all Earth's ecosystems—grown rich with wildlife, even as wildlife has declined in most of the rest of the world? And what does this paradox mean for people, wildlife, and nature on our increasingly urban planet? 
 
 
  
The Accidental Ecosystem is the first book to explain this phenomenon from a deep historical perspective, and its focus includes a broad range of species and cities. Digging into the natural history of cities and unpacking our conception of what it means to be wild, this book provides fascinating context for why animals are thriving more in cities than outside of them. Considering what it means to live in diverse, multispecies communities and exploring how human and non-human members of communities might thrive together, Peter S. Alagona goes beyond the tension between those who embrace the surge in urban wildlife and those who think of animals as invasive or as public safety hazards.

The Shocking Truth about...

Zoey Fraisers

Pharmaceutical trials are essential to the development of new drugs and treatments, providing the necessary data to ensure they are safe and effective for public use. These trials have evolved over centuries, from rudimentary experiments to the sophisticated, multi-phase studies we see today. They are the cornerstone of modern medicine, influencing the drugs that populate our pharmacies and hospitals. However, the process is not without its flaws, and the history of pharmaceutical trials is marked by ethical concerns, controversy, and a complex relationship between researchers, pharmaceutical companies, and patients.
The primary goal of pharmaceutical trials is to test new drugs and therapies on human participants to gather data on their safety, efficacy, and potential side effects. These trials follow a strict protocol, designed to minimize risks while maximizing the quality of the data collected. The process typically begins with preclinical testing in laboratories, followed by clinical trials involving human subjects. These trials are divided into several phases, each designed to answer different scientific questions. From small-scale phase I trials to large-scale phase III studies, the data gathered at each stage is critical in determining whether a drug is ready for approval by regulatory authorities.
However, the path from laboratory to pharmacy shelves is not always smooth. The influence of pharmaceutical companies looms large over clinical trials, as they fund many studies and are often the driving force behind research agendas. While their involvement has led to groundbreaking advancements in medicine, it has also raised concerns about conflicts of interest and the integrity of trial data. In some cases, financial pressures have led to the manipulation or suppression of results that could impact a drug’s approval.
