Sinopse

"Medical Ethics Dilemmas" offers a comprehensive exploration of the moral challenges shaping modern healthcare, where advancing technology and human values increasingly intersect. The book expertly navigates three fundamental tensions: the balance between patient autonomy and medical paternalism, the challenge of distributing limited healthcare resources fairly, and the struggle between innovative treatments and established medical protocols. Through a systematic examination of real-world cases and established guidelines, it demonstrates how healthcare providers tackle complex decisions that impact both individual lives and society at large.

 
The book's unique approach lies in its practical framework for ethical decision-making, bridging theoretical principles with real-world healthcare delivery. Beginning with individual patient rights and professional obligations, it progresses through societal-level healthcare distribution before addressing cutting-edge ethical frontiers in experimental treatments and genetic medicine. Each section integrates compelling case studies and established ethical frameworks, making complex concepts accessible to both healthcare professionals and general readers interested in bioethics.

 
Moving beyond theoretical discussions, the text provides concrete tools for implementing ethical decision-making processes across various healthcare settings. By examining how cultural shifts, technological capabilities, and economic pressures have transformed medical ethics since the Hippocratic Oath, it offers readers a thorough understanding of contemporary challenges while maintaining an objective stance on controversial topics such as end-of-life care and genetic modification. This balanced approach makes it an invaluable resource for medical professionals, healthcare administrators, and policy makers who must navigate complex ethical dilemmas in their daily work.

Into the Dark - What darkness is...

Jacqueline Yallop

'Often poetic ... highly-researched and thought-provoking'New Scientist
'Gently and thoughtfully enquiring' The Spectator

Can you remember the first time you encountered true darkness? The kind that remains as black and inky whether your eyes are open or closed? Where you can't see your hand in front of your face?

Jacqueline Yallop can. It was in an unfamiliar bedroom while holidaying in Yorkshire as a child, and ever since then she has been fascinated by the dark, by our efforts to capture or avoid it, by the meanings we give to it and the way our brains process it.

Taking a journey into the dark secrets of place, body and mind, she documents a series of night-time walks, exploring both the physical realities of darkness and the psychological dark that helps shape our sense of self. Exploring our enduring love-hate relationship with states of darkness, she considers how we attempt to understand and contain the dark, and, as she comes to terms with her father's deteriorating Alzheimer's, she reflects on how our relationship to the dark can change with time and circumstance.

Darkness captivates, baffles and appals us. It's a shifty thing of many textures, many moods, a state of fascination and of horror, an absence and a presence, solace and threat, a beginning and an end. Into the Dark is the story of the many darks that fascinate and assail us. It faces the darkness full on in all its guises and mysteries, celebrating it as a thing of beauty while peering into the void.

A Programme of Absolute Disorder...

Françoise Vergès, Paul Gilroy

"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.
