Pharmacopolitics: Drug Regulation in the United States and Germany
R & D Meets M & A
R&D Meets M&A contains edited papers given by a group of senior executives, chief technology officers, economists, and business analysts at the Chemical Heritage Foundation on 29 April 2003. Together, these papers make the case that successful mergers require an expanded role for research divisions and should be driven by compatible innovation cultures. Looking to the future, only a combination of greater in-house R&D and increased use of joint ventures will improve the chemical industry's competitive standing as it copes with emerging new markets and competing science-based businesses.
Perspectives on Risk and Regulation
The Whole of Nature and the Mirror of Art exhibit was at CHF from July through December 2006, opening in conjunction with the International Conference on the History of Alchemy and Chemistry. Alchemy is extremely well represented in the Neville Collection. There are many of the famous emblem-books, numerous works on chrysopoeia (metallic transmutation), and scores of titles from little-known authors. The images in the exhibition and the catalog are photo reproductions of engravings from alchemical books published in the 17th century.
Reflections from the Frontiers, Explorations for the Future
This publication tells the story of the Gordon Research Conferences (GRC), a series of scientific meetings that play a major role in advancing new theories and developing applications. Firsthand accounts from 80 of the world's leading scientists offer a unique lens through which to view and understand the wide range of disciplines and fields that make up today's scientific endeavor. Also included in the book is a time line, as well as essays that provide historical perspective on the development of the GRC organization.
Research Frontiers for the Chemical Industry: Report on the Third Annual CHF-SCI Innovation Day Warren G. Schlinger Symposium
Competition is becoming ever fiercer in the chemical industry as new firms from such emerging economies as China and India enter the market and as technological advances, potential new regulations, and rising energy and feedstock costs shrink profit margins. Yet chemical firms are also discovering that cooperation, even between competitors, is necessary for meeting today¿s challenges. Today¿s market dilemmas and innovation systems are too complex for any one org. Successful networks must include competitors working in partnership. This report describes a variety of partnerships among chemical and materials firms that combine cooperation and competition in novel, forward-looking ways.
Genetic Witness
When DNA profiling was first introduced into the American legal system in 1987, it was heralded as a technology that would revolutionize law enforcement. As an investigative tool, it has lived up to much of this hype—it is regularly used to track down unknown criminals, put murderers and rapists behind bars, and exonerate the innocent. Yet, this promise took ten turbulent years to be fulfilled. In Genetic Witness, Jay D. Aronson uncovers the dramatic early history of DNA profiling that has been obscured by the technique’s recent success. He demonstrates that robust quality control and quality assurance measures were initially nonexistent, interpretation of test results was based more on assumption than empirical evidence, and the technique was susceptible to error at every stage. Most of these issues came to light only through defense challenges to what prosecutors claimed to be an infallible technology. Although this process was fraught with controversy, inefficiency, and personal antagonism, the quality of DNA evidence improved dramatically as a result. Aronson argues, however, that the dream of a perfect identification technology remains unrealized.
The Color Revolution
A history of color and commerce from haute couture to automobile showrooms to interior design. When the fashion industry declares that lime green is the new black, or instructs us to “think pink!,” it is not the result of a backroom deal forged by a secretive cabal of fashion journalists, designers, manufacturers, and the editor of Vogue. It is the latest development of a color revolution that has been unfolding for more than a century. In this book, the award-winning historian Regina Lee Blaszczyk traces the relationship of color and commerce, from haute couture to automobile showrooms to interior design, describing the often unrecognized role of the color profession in consumer culture...
