Blood
Essence and emblem of life--feared, revered, mythologized, and used in magic and medicine from earliest times--human blood is now the center of a huge, secretive, and often dangerous worldwide commerce. It is a commerce whose impact upon humanity rivals that of any other business--millions of lives have been saved by blood and its various derivatives, and tens of thousands of lives have been lost. Douglas Starr tells how this came to be, in a sweeping history that ranges through the centuries. With the dawn of science, blood came to be seen as a component of human anatomy, capable of being isolated, studied, used. Starr describes the first documented transfusion: In the seventeenth century, ...

Advances in Transfusion Safety
Improving the safety for blood and blood product transfusion It is amazing that in the first years of the 21st century there are insufficient blood supplies and that some supplies are unsafe in certain areas of the world. Regulations and codes call for continuous improvement in processes and attitudes to assure safety everywhere. To that end nearly 200 transfusionists and their colleagues gathered in Sydney in October 2005 to conduct a marathon symposium on methods and advances made towards achieving universal safety for blood and blood product transfusion. Sponsors of the latest products joined in to support this extraordinary meeting of information and ideas. Advances in transfusion safety were put forward from all areas of the blood transfusion process, including establishment of services, donor selection, infections that may affect donors, safe testing, risk and safety assessment, the roles of government and regulation, the use of blood and its products as well as the need for effective communication. The resulting papers from internationally renowned experts are published in these proceedings.

Yasudas Go
Yasudas Go erzählt die Geschichte einer erstaunlichen Entdeckung: Ein einfaches Spiel kann enormen erzieherischen und therapeutischen Wert in sich bergen. Verantwortlich für diese Entdeckung ist Yasuda Yasutoshi, ein professioneller Go-Spieler aus Japan. Soziale Probleme an japanischen Schulen bereiteten ihm Sorge und motivierten ihn, Schulkinder an das Spiel heranzuführen. Zu seiner Überraschung erkannte er, dass dies unmittelbare positive Auswirkungen hatte. Kinder, die aufsässig waren, wurden ruhiger und gewannen allgemein mehr Interesse an der Schule; Kinder, die zurückgezogen waren, begannen mit anderen zu interagieren; Kinder, die teilnahmslos waren, wurden lebhaft. Immer wieder ...
