Contribution to the Sensible Use of Benzodiazepines
Benzodiazepines are psychotropic drugs used to treat a variety of disorders including anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia and muscle spasm. An inter-governmental meeting of policy-makers and health experts in Europe was held in January 2001 to discuss a variety of issues relating to their use including: the level of consumption, both legally prescribed and through illegal use; risks of abuse and dependence; the regulatory situation and drug control measures. The text of a draft resolution adopted by the meeting on the appropriate use of benzodiazepines is also contained in the document.
What it Means to Be Human
What It Means to Be Human What is a Human? Is it, as science wants you to believe, a creature that arose from mud or, as the priest tells you, a being of soul-motivated flesh? What and who are you? One thing for sure, dead matter doesn't think! In this book, Wolfgang Fries critically examines the age-old philosophical question of what it means to be human using straight talk and common sense. One thing is certain. You are alive and try to live a life as a human being. You have your notions of how to live your life, but your ideas regarding life are countered by certain intentions, which make life a difficult and complicated task. So we have these two things, your notions and counter intentio...

Philosophy of Life - The Book of Basics
Philosophy should give the human being a mental basis that will allow man to lead a happy life and solve the problems of the now. Philosophy does not consist of making things complicated and incomprehensible like today's degenerate philosophies do. In this book, no philosophical phrases are discussed in order to play mental soccer. This book gives basics about life, which one can apply to lead to a fulfilled, happy existence. Basic questions about life itself are solved. What is life? What is man? Is it that a creature arose from mud by chance as science tells you? Or is it that matter is motivated by a soul as the priest makes you believe. Why does man think the way he thinks? What is the goal of existence?

Raising Generation Rx
Some 22 percent of American children today have some form of disability. In this highly important book, Linda Blum plunges us into the world of their worried mothers, deciphering labels and pills, fending off stigma, tirelessly advocating for their children. Married or alone, affluent or poor, such mothers often feel blamed and too rarely in the presence of real help. A carefully researched and deeply sensitive portrait of mothers on the Rx frontier.
Modernising Health Care
"Structured around the role of the professions as mediators between states and their citizens, and set against a background of tighter resources and growing demands for citizenship rights, Ellen Kuhlmann's book offers a much-needed comparative analysis, using the German health care system as a case study. The German system, with its strongly self-regulatory medical profession, exemplifies both the capacity of professionalism to remake itself and the role of the state in response, highlighting the benefits and dangers of medical self-regulation while demonstrating the potential for change beyond marketisation and managerialism." "Modernising health care provides new approaches and a wealth of new empirical data for academics and students of health policy, medical sociology and the sociology of professions, and for health policy makers and managers."--BOOK JACKET.
The Institutions of Programmatic Action
This open access book is the first monograph to systematically apply the Programmatic Action Framework (PAF) in a comparative analysis of public policy in two institutionally different countries. The PAF seeks to explain long-term policy change by examining the shared biographies of policy actors who, to foster their careers, coalesce around policy programs which they promote throughout the policy process. Comparing health policy-making in France and Germany between 1990 and 2020, the book sheds light on the institutional settings that are necessary for programmatic action to occur. It will appeal to scholars and students of public policy, public administration, and health policy.
Information Infrastructure(s)
This book marks an important contribution to the fascinating debate on the role that information infrastructures and boundary objects play in contemporary life, bringing to the fore the concern of how cooperation across different groups is enabled, but also constrained, by the material and immaterial objects connecting them. As such, the book itself is situated at the crossroads of various paths and genealogies, all focusing on the problem of the intersection between different levels of scale throughout devices, networks, and society. Information infrastructures allow, facilitate, mediate, saturate and influence people’s material and immaterial surroundings. They are often shaped and inter...
