  Conjoined twins dilemma... Suicide of terminally ill patient... Designer baby transplant success... Woman gives birth at sixty-six...  
  Rarely are human dilemmas out of the news. And what medical science can do and ought to do - or ought not to do - impinges on our personal lives, families and societies.  
  John Wyatt examines the issues surrounding the beginning and end of life against the background of current medical-ethical thought. Writing out of a deep conviction that the Bible's view of our humanness points a way forward, he suggests how Christian healthcare professionals, churches and individuals can respond to today's challenges and opportunities.

  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  "The Stranger in the Woods" by Michael Finkel tells the story of Christopher Knight, a man who lived alone in the Maine woods for 27 years, becoming known as the North Pond Hermit. The book explores his reasons for leaving society, his methods for surviving the harsh winters, and the psychological implications of such extreme isolation. It details his interactions with the outside world through a series of burglaries at nearby cabins, and how he sustained himself with the items he stole. The narrative also examines the public's fascination with Knight after his capture, and the challenges he faced when attempting to re-enter society. The story goes into Knight's background, and how his beliefs and philosophies shaped his solitary life, touching on themes of solitude, autonomy, and the individual versus society.

  "A complete overhaul of the Western museum tradition" —Publishers Weekly 
   
   
   
  "An impressive critique of the universal museum as complicit in the damages inflicted by colonial power" —Isaac Julien, artist and filmmaker 
   
   
   
  "Should fascinate anyone interested in social justice, post-colonialism and the arts" —Euronews 
   
   
   
  "Powerful and so relevant" —Diacritik 
   
   
   
  The Western museum is a battleground—a terrain of ideological, political, and economic contestation. Almost everyone today wants to rethink the museum, but how many have the audacity to question the idea of the universal museum itself? 
   
   
   
  In A Programme of Absolute Disorder, Françoise Vergès puts the museum in its place. Exploring the Louvre's history, she uncovers the context in which the universal museum emerged: as a product of colonialism, and of Europe's self-appointed claim to be the guardian of global heritage. 
   
   
   
  Vergès outlines a radical horizon: to truly decolonize the museum is to implement a "programme of absolute disorder", inventing other ways of apprehending the human and non-human world that nourish collective creativity and bring justice and dignity to the dispossessed.
