The inside story of how Big Pharma's relentless pursuit of ever-higher profits corrupts medical knowledge?misleading doctors, misdirecting American health care, and harming our health.The United States spends an excess $1.5 trillion annually on health care compared to other wealthy countries?yet the amount of time that Americans live in good health ranks a lowly 68th in the world. At the heart of the problem is Big Pharma, which funds most clinical trials and therefore controls the research agenda, withholds the real data from those trials as corporate secrets, and shapes most of the information relied upon by health care professionals.In this no-holds-barred exposé, Dr. John Abramson?one of the foremost experts on the drug industry's deceptive tactics?combines patient stories with what he learned during many years of serving as an expert in national drug litigation to reveal the tangled web of financial interests at the heart of the dysfunction in our health-care system. For example, one of pharma's best-kept secrets is that the peer reviewers charged with ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the clinical trial reports published in medical journals do not even have access to complete data and must rely on manufacturer-influenced summaries. Likewise for the experts who write the clinical practice guidelines that define our standards of care.The result of years of research and privileged access to the inner workings of the U.S. medical-industrial complex, Sickening shines a light on the dark underbelly of American health care?and presents a path toward genuine reform.

Neste excepcional livro, Annaka Harris, autora best-seller do New York Times, guia-nos através das definições evolutivas, filosofias e descobertas científicas que sondam a nossa limitada noção da consciência. Onde reside, e o que lhe dá origem? Poderá ser uma ilusão, ou uma propriedade universal de toda a matéria?Ao tentarmos compreender a consciência temos de encontrar a melhor forma de a definir e, na era da inteligência artificial, quem ou o que a poderia possuir. Damos como certa a nossa experiência de estar no mundo. Porém, a própria existência da consciência levanta questões profundas: Por que razão, no universo, qualquer conjunto de matéria pode ser consciente? Como poderemos analisar este facto? E porque deveremos fazê-lo?"Consciência" não apenas questiona, mas também oferece insights claros e acessíveis. Annaka Harris guia os leitores por teorias científicas e filosóficas, desvendando o mistério por trás da experiência consciente. Com uma linguagem acessível, o livro é uma jornada esclarecedora para todos, desde os iniciantes até os estudiosos da mente.Uma meditação notável sobre o EU, o livre arbítrio e experiência pessoal de uma extraordinária investigadora. Consciência, editado pela primeira vez em Português, oferece desafiantes argumentos que ressoam e alteram a nossa perceção sobre o que é estar consciente - permitindo-nos livremente, se o conseguirmos, pensar sobre este mistério.Prepare-se para ser surpreendido.

This book provides the first extensive examination and analysis of the use of the urbanscape during the disaster process, by connecting its elements throughout disaster phases: the pre-disaster phase, consisting of reduction in form of prevention and mitigation; the disaster event phase, consisting of the disaster impact followed by the disaster effects; and the post-disaster phase, consisting of the post-disaster recovery. This work includes the analysis of 18 disaster case studies worldwide, of which 12 case studies are within the natural and 6 case studies within the man-made disaster category. The criteria for choosing these examples is based on the division into natural and man-made disaster subcategories and the period of their occurrence, from 1991 to 2021. The main purpose of this comparative analysis is to reveal the use of the urbanscape during the disaster process, through the role of its open public spaces during each disaster phase in both natural and man-made disastercategories. The book is a useful read for researchers and students of disaster management.

This book primarily examines human-animal and human-plant interactions in Asian forests (Southeast Asiäand Japan) and inland waters (China). For comparison, cases from the Americas (whales in the Arctic, sea turtles in the Caribbean, and plants in the Amazon) and Central Asia are also included. The relationship between plants, animals, and humans in Asia is quite unique from a global perspective. For example, "satoyama" in Japan means ecotone area, or the boundary between a village and a forest. There, as the number of inhabitants declines, bears, wild boars, and other animals increasingly ravage crops, sometimes attacking humans as well.By showing the regional nature of human-animal and human-plant interactions in Asia, this book provides for the first time a framework for understanding the world's animal and plant-human relationships. It is assumed that the relationships between humans and animals and plants during this period were diverse, including hunting, taming, semi-domestication, and full domestication. At the same time, for regions outside of Asia, the extent to which these diverse relationships were adapted and how diversity was formed is explained from the perspective of historical ecology.Customers can expect to derive perspectives on the coexistence of human-animal and plant-animal relationships from this book in the near future.The conservation of rare species, diverse habitats, and biodiversity is a central theme in considering the relationship between modern civilization and the global environment. In post-industrial Japan, one focus has been the protection of iconic animals such as storks, crested ibis, dugongs, and sea turtles, while damage to crops and humans by deer, wild boars, monkeys, bears, and other common animals has become an important social issue. How can the world's 7.7 billion-plus people live in harmony with other species? We would like to get some hints on how to solve the problems we are facing.
