  The study of pharmacology has a rich and complex history that dates back thousands of years. Ancient civilizations relied on plants, minerals, and animal-derived substances to treat various ailments, laying the foundation for modern drug development. The evolution of pharmacology is a testament to human ingenuity and the ongoing quest for medical advancement. 
  In early human societies, medicine was largely based on trial and error. Traditional healers and shamans experimented with natural substances to alleviate pain, heal wounds, and cure diseases. Ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Greek civilizations made significant contributions to early pharmacology by documenting medicinal plants and their effects. The Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical text from around 1550 BCE, provides one of the earliest records of pharmacological knowledge, listing hundreds of remedies derived from herbs and minerals. Similarly, the works of Hippocrates and Dioscorides in ancient Greece emphasized the importance of observation and classification in medicine. 
  The transition from natural remedies to synthesized drugs gained momentum during the Renaissance and Enlightenment periods. With the development of the scientific method, researchers began isolating active compounds from plants and studying their effects in controlled settings. The 19th century saw groundbreaking discoveries, such as the isolation of morphine from opium and the synthesis of aspirin. These advancements paved the way for the pharmaceutical industry, leading to the development of more effective and standardized treatments.

  Off-Earth - Ethical Questions...

  Can we do better in space than we've done here on Earth? 
   
   
   
  We've pinpointed the destination, refined the technology, designed the habitat. Are we forgetting something? A timely reminder that it's not just rocket science, this book explores the all-too-human issues raised by the prospect of settling in outer space. Accordingly, her work highlights the complex ethical challenges that accompany any other-worldly venture—questions about the environment, labor rights, and medical ethics, among others. 
   
   
   
  Any such venture, Nesvold contends, must be made on behalf of all humanity, with global input and collaboration. Off-Earth thus includes historical and contemporary examples from outside the dominant Western/US, abled, and privileged narrative of the space industry. Nesvold calls on experts in ethics, sociology, history, social justice, and law to launch a hopeful conversation about the potential ethical pitfalls of becoming a multi-planet species—and, ideally, to shed light on similar problems we presently face here on Earth. 
   
   
   
  Space settlement is rapidly becoming ever more likely. Will it look like the utopian vision of Star Trek? Or the dark future of Star Wars? Nesvold challenges us to decide.

  Tackle Football and Traumatic...

  American tackle football is an industry like any other. And like many industries, it sells a product that is dangerous to those who use it—or, in this case, those who play it. Daniel S. Goldberg explores the connections among traumatic brain injury, collision sports, and the industry's continuing efforts to manufacture doubt. Focusing especially on youths and adolescents—the most vulnerable population that comprises over 99% of tackle football players in the US—Goldberg addresses the ethical and social implications of their participation in tackle football. 
   
   
   
  As the tackle football industry has consistently worked to mask the health hazards, it has used a particular tool that has proved highly effective in achieving this subterfuge: the manufacture of doubt. Goldberg advocates for using public health laws as a tool for countering these efforts at obfuscation, and he outlines specific policy proposals intended to address the population health and ethical problems presented by tackle football. 
   
   
   
  The book draws on public health ethics, public health law, and the histories of occupational and public health to assess the limits of parental choice to expose their children to risks of injury. Chris Nowinski, former Harvard football player and WWE wrestler, provides a timely and insider's perspective on these critical issues in the foreword.
