A Most Wondrous Place
Timid and shy, Gracie stayed mostly to herself and away from the other young chicks. Without her best friend, Bessie, she may never have survived those difficult first weeks. But from the beginning, Gracie was sure her new backyard garden home was "A Most Wondrous Place," and that was one of the first things she said to the author as they sat together in the cool of the evening. But A Most Wondrous Place is more than a garden filled with beautiful flowers and delicious vegetables. It is more than somewhere that chickens can dance ballet and talk with people who love them. Even though Gracie could share a great deal of chicken wisdom with the author, explaining what A Most Wondrous Place mean...

Who Owns Our Bodies?
This book explores the controversial dilemmas which meet at the intersection of medicine philosphy and law - questions concerning killing and not killing which are faced daily in health care. They embrace euthanasia abortion the care of the elderly and the demented the care of the mentally ill children and those in a persistent vegative state. Who Owns our Bodies? identifies a crisis both in ethics and in empowerment as people face often neccessarily wretched choices. It seeks a framework of guidance for practical decision-making and focuses on two key issues. First who decides on an individual's quality of life and thus on their health care treatments? Second how can patients be empowered with a structure to enable choice self-realization self-reflection and self-responsibility? John Spiers with characteristic clarity and verve offers a fundamental choice between health care experienced as hierarchy and control and the alternative of choice and self-responsibilty. He argues that health care must rely on patients deciding how much power they have not on professionals deciding how much to grant them.

Realities of Rationing
Is health care rationed in the National Health Service? If so, who decides which patients to treat and which should go without? John Spiers argues that rationing and scarcity are built into the structure of the NHS. It embodies the collectivist assumptions of the 1940s which have become increasingly irrelevant in the modern world. By removing the price mechanism and stifling competition it has disempowered the consumer - the patient - in favour of an all-powerful producer. over health objectives, but the NHS has failed to deliver even on its own terms. It falls short of what people living in a rich country expect, and its failings affect the scarcest resource of all - the days of our lives.T...
