Keep Me Forever
The Train Brought Them Together At twenty-one years of age, Jim leaves Orlando hoping to begin a new life that doesn’t contain costumed characters or ghosts from his past. He meets Sara for the first time on the train. She adds an extra dimension to the journey back to his childhood home in Savannah, Georgia. Jim’s best friend and his miserly, affluent father encourage him to join the Army. The GI Bill would fund his college education. Afterward, he could become an FBI Agent and fight against crimes similar to his sister’s murder. He suffers from bouts of PTSD after a disastrous mission in Grenada. With some coaxing from a loved one, he travels to a family member’s home in Sintra, Portugal, hoping to heal his broken soul. During midnight wanderings, he discovers supernatural beings and questions his sanity.

Human Subjects Research Regulation
Experts from different disciplines offer novel ideas for improving research oversight and protection of human subjects.The current framework for the regulation of human subjects research emerged largely in reaction to the horrors of Nazi human experimentation, revealed at the Nuremburg trials, and the Tuskegee syphilis study, conducted by U.S. government researchers from 1932 to 1972. This framework, combining elements of paternalism with efforts to preserve individual autonomy, has remained fundamentally unchanged for decades. Yet, as this book documents, it has significant flaws—including its potential to burden important research, overprotect some subjects and inadequately protect other...

Irrationality in Health Care
A look at the American health care system through analysis of consumer and provider behavior. The health care industry in the US is peculiar. We spend close to 18% of our GDP on health care, yet other countries get better results—and we don’t know why. To date, we still lack widely accepted answers to simple questions, such as “Would requiring everyone to buy health insurance make us better off?” Drawing on behavioral economics as an alternative to the standard tools of health economics, author Douglas E. Hough seeks to diagnose the ills of health care today more clearly. A behavioral perspective makes sense of key contradictions—from the seemingly irrational choices that we someti...
