Summary

Die verbreiteten Begriffe ‚Informationsgesellschaft' und ‚Age of Access' suggerieren die problemlose allseitige Zugänglichkeit von Information. Doch Information ist in der Realität in vielerlei Hinsicht unzugänglich - physisch, wirtschaftlich, intellektuell, sprachlich, politisch, technisch. Zudem entstehen täglich neue Techniken und Praktiken der Zugänglichmachung. Schließlich zeigen sich in verschiedenen Bereichen die Grenzen der Forderung nach Zugänglichkeit. Diese neue Buchreihe bringt Wissenschaftler und Praktiker verschiedenster Prägung zusammen, um die verschiedenen Dimensionen der Unzugänglichkeit von Information auszuloten sowie Prinzipien und Techniken ihrer praktischen und gesellschaftlichen Überwindung aufzuzeigen, aber auch notwendige Grenzen der Zugänglichkeit deutlich zu machen.Herausgegeben von André Schüller-Zwierlein, Universitätsbibliothek Regensburg.Editorial Board:   Prof. Dr. Herbert Burkert(Informationsrecht, Universität St. Gallen)  Dr. Klaus Ceynowa(Stv.

    A history and analysis of the tragic 1955 American pharmaceutical disaster involving one company’s polio vaccine. 
     
    Vaccines have saved more lives than any other single medical advance. Yet today only four companies make vaccines, and there is a growing crisis in vaccine availability. Why has this happened? This remarkable book recounts for the first time a devastating episode in 1955 at Cutter Laboratories in Berkeley, California, that has led many pharmaceutical companies to abandon vaccine manufacture. 
     
    Drawing on interviews with public health officials, pharmaceutical company executives, attorneys, Cutter employees, and victims of the vaccine, as well as on previously unavailable archives, Dr. Paul Offit offers a full account of the Cutter disaster. He describes the nation’s relief when the polio vaccine was developed by Jonas Salk in 1955, the production of the vaccine at industrial facilities such as the one operated by Cutter, and the tragedy that occurred when 200,000 people were inadvertently injected with live virulent polio virus: 70,000 became ill, 200 were permanently paralyzed, and 10 died. Dr. Offit also explores how, because of the tragedy, one jury’s verdict set in motion events that eventually suppressed the production of vaccines already licensed and deterred the development of new vaccines that hold the promise of preventing other fatal diseases. 
     
    Praise for The Cutter Incident 
     
    “Offit . . . has written a fascinating and highly readable account of the development of the polio vaccine. He also offers a compelling plea for a strengthened law to provide relief to companies that produce vaccines so that our nation may be afforded the most cost-effective and long-lasting form of prevention against many infectious diseases—an effective vaccine.” —Stanley Goldfarb, New York Post 
     
    “The best account you will ever read about the interplay between big drug companies and bigger government.” —Peter Huber, Forbes 
     
    “The book is very well written and reads almost like a detective story, with a nice balance between personal anecdotes and new materials not discussed in other accounts of the Cutter incident. It draws on meticulous archival documentation and on interviews with public health officers, pharmaceutical company executives, Cutter employees, and victims of the partially inactivated vaccine. . . . An important and valuable contribution.” —Nadav Davidovitch, Isis 
     
     
    “Well written and easily understood, yet balanced with enough technical detail for medical professionals to read informatively cover to cover.” —Journal of the American Medical Association

    Most of us have heard of black holes and supernovas, galaxies and the big bang. But few of us understand more than the bare facts about the universe we call home. What is really out there? How did it all begin? Where are we going?  
     
    Jo Dunkley begins in Earth's neighborhood, explaining the nature of the solar system, the stars in our night sky, and the Milky Way. She then moves out past nearby galaxies - and back in time - to the horizon of the observable universe, which contains over a hundred billion galaxies, each with billions of stars, many orbited by planets, some of which may host life. These visible objects in space sit in a web of dark matter, mysterious stuff we cannot see or yet understand. Dunkley traces the evolution of the universe from the big bang 14 billion years ago, past the birth of the sun and our planets, to today and beyond. She explains cutting-edge debates about such perplexing phenomena as the accelerating expansion of the universe and the possibility that our universe is only one of many.  
     
    Our Universe conveys with authority and grace the thrill of scientific discovery and a contagious enthusiasm for the endless wonders of space-time.

    The Premed Playbook Guide to the Medical School Interview is the only book needed to prepare premed students for their medical school interviews. Through interviews with Admissions Committee members and others, Dr. Gray has compiled the most comprehensive book on this subject. Premed students want to know what to expect, but more importantly they need to see examples of what successful applicants have done. The Premed Playbook not only gives them close to six hundred potential interview questions, it also gives them real answers and feedback from interview sessions that Dr. Gray has held with students. 
     
    “This book touches on every aspect of the interview from applying, during the interview and things to do/not to do after the interview. I highly recommend this book for every student to read and have available for reference during the medical school interview season.” —Antonio J. Webb, MD, orthopedic resident surgeon, motivational speaker, and author of Overcoming the Odds 
     
    “He challenges the reader to examine their strengths and weaknesses and gives them a blueprint on how to put their best foot forward. His advice is real-world and complied by many interviewers, including myself, who have years of experience interviewing medical school applicants. I highly recommend this book as a fundamental preparation tool for the application process.” —Gregory M. Polites, MD, Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine, Chairman of the Central Subcommittee on Admissions, Washington University School of Medicine
