Summary

The book "Placebo Effect" explores the fascinating intersection of psychology, neuroscience, and immunology to understand how our beliefs and expectations can trigger real physiological changes. It delves into the science behind the placebo effect, demonstrating how inert treatments can measurably improve a patient's condition simply because they believe it will work. One intriguing area explored is how placebo interventions can influence immune cell activity, illustrating the power of the mind-body connection. Another insight highlights how expectations can modulate brain activity, impacting pain modulation and emotional regulation. This book uniquely integrates findings from various fields to offer a comprehensive psychobiological model of the placebo effect, emphasizing the importance of patient-centered care. 

 
The book progresses by first defining the placebo effect and distinguishing it from other phenomena. Then it examines the neurobiological mechanisms and finally focuses on clinical applications and ethical considerations. By presenting detailed research and clinical applications, "Placebo Effect" challenges the traditional view of medicine and highlights the body's inherent capacity for self-healing.

»We Are All Activists« -...

Lea Rzadtki

Who is meant when people talk about the citizens or the activists? Often, they are implied to mean the most privileged positionalities. Simultaneously, refugees and migrants tend to be seen through their (supposed) legal status. Thus, they are neither practically nor conceptually regarded as activists. The variety of intersecting positionings in migrant rights activism results in complex inequalities and power dynamics within activist groups. Solidarities are continually challenged, negotiated, and built. Lea Rzadtki develops a conceptual view on claims, challenges, and processes that activists experience and deal with. She moves beyond dichotomies and engages in transversal dialogue.

Democracy Unmoored - Populism...

Samuel Issacharoff

The 2016 election of Donald Trump focused people's minds on populism, and most of the attention paid to the subject since has been on the threat it poses to wealthy democracies. In Democracy Unmoored, Samuel Issacharoff takes a far wider-angle view of the phenomenon, covering countries from across the globe: Brazil, Poland, Argentina, Turkey, India, Hungary, Venezuela, and more. Just as importantly, he focuses on populism's attack on the institutions of governance. Democracy requires two critical features: first, a commitment to repeat play such that political actors understand that what goes around comes around; and, second, institutional constraints so that the majority can prevail, albeit not by too much. Democracies must avoid the doomsday scenario in which the contending parties see the next election as the final choice between salvation and perdition. Issacharoff shows how populist governance undermines each of these two critical underpinnings of stable democracy, first by compressing the time horizon to the immediate, and second by eroding institutional constraints on strongman rule. At the same time, Issacharoff highlights the fact that ascendent populists were pushing in an open door as they found democracies in states of disrepair in the post-2008 world.
