The Gale Encyclopedia Of Cancer: A Guide To Cancer And Its Treatments
Publisher: Gacl | ISBN: 1414403623 | edition 2005 | PDF | 1451 pages | 25,4 mb
In a statement immediately preceding the introduction, the publisher states clearly that this encyclopedia is "is intended to supplement, not replace, consultation with a physician or other healthcare professional." That said, this second edition of a work first published in 2001 is an excellent resource for anyone seeking a greater understanding of cancer.
Specific cancers, diagnostic procedures, treatments, and much more are discussed thoroughly and in straightforward lay language. Cancer biology, Carcinogenesis, Cancer prevention, Clinical trials, and other cancer-related topics are among the 450 or more entries presented in A-Z format. Uniform entries on specific types of cancer begin with a definition, a description, and demographic and statistical information before focusing on the details--causes, symptoms, diagnosis (including tests and procedures), e-treatment, prognosis, patient coping, home care, prevention, and special concerns. The frank and rather clinical-sounding treatment discussion includes staging, standards, and, when appropriate, alternative therapies, anticipated side effects, and even questions for the doctor. Key terms used in the discussion are identified and explained; clinical trials are noted.

Nanotechnology: Risk, Ethics and Law (Science in Society Series)
Publisher: Earthscan Publications Ltd | ISBN: 1844073580 | edition 2006 | PDF | 313 pages | 11,4 mb
Nanotechnology is the new genetic modification, with $5 billion in funding, involving thousands of companies and universities
· This is the first book to take stock of the risks and benefits of nanotechnology, and the complex ethical and legal questions facing governments, the public, investors, and businesses worldwide
· An accessible popular science book for all interested in the fascinating and unpredictable science, law, policy and regulation of nanotech
Nanotechnology—technology at the molecular level—has the potential, according to its supporters, to create a trillion dollar economy and provide solutions from curing cancer to reprocessing waste into products and building super-fast computers. Yet, as with genetically modified organisms, many view nanotech as a high-risk genie in a bottle that once uncorked has the potential to cause unpredictable, and perhaps irreversible, environmental and public health disasters.
With the race to bring products to market, there is pressing need to take stock of the situation and to have a full public debate about this new technological frontier.

Evolution and the Common Law
Publisher: Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 0521614910 | edition 2005 | PDF | 305 pages | 11,1 mb
This book offers a radical challenge to all existing accounts of the common law's development. Contrary to received jurisprudential wisdom, it maintains there is no grand theory which will explain satisfactorily the dynamic interactions of change and stability in the common law's history. Offering fresh and original readings of Charles Darwin's and Hans-Georg Gadamer's works, the book demonstrates that law is a rhetorical activity that can only be properly appreciated in its historical and political context. It reveals that, like life, law is an organic process and that common law is a perpetual work-in-progress.
