Medicine Challenged: How Greed and Abuse of Power Are Making

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sarmiento, MD Augusto / Sarmiento, Augusto, PUBLISHER: PublishAmerica, Medicine is experiencing crises of unprecedented proportion. This book addresses, in a critical though constructive manner, the increasing commercialization of medicine, the greed and loss of professionalism of many of its members, its excessive fragmentation into subspecialties, and the education of the physician, which is increasingly controlled by the pharmaceutical and surgical implant industry. All these factors have played a major role in the current healthcare crisis, manifested by the inexcusable millions of uninsured people, the unaffordable cost of health insurance, and the grossly inferior care the poor receive in this country. The author blames the medical profession for having contributed to the perpetuation of some of the problems, and calls its fellowship and its representative organizations to respond by correcting the flaws that are correctable, and to throw their support behind initiatives that will ensure restoration of the high moral standards that made medicine a most noble profession.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Holladay, Joan A., PUBLISHER: University of Washington Press, Illuminated for Heinrich II of Hesse in , the Kassel Willehalm Codex differs from other secular manuscripts of the Gothic period by its lavish illumination cycle and the firm identification of its patron and date of execution. In order to understand the meaning this manuscript held for its patron and the role of the codex in his Kunstpoiitik, Joan A. Holladay examines the ways in which the illuminations interpret the text they accompany and places the codex in the larger contexts of the family's commissions and the patron's political actions and ambitions. The identified patron allows this manuscript to be set against the family's commissions of the two previous generations in a way that broadly illuminates artistic practice and purpose at small courts in the later Middle Ages. Students and scholars of Gothic art as well as specialists in medieval German literature will find new and stimulating material in this volume.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Feener, R.

Taken together these essays offer a series of substantive introductions to important developments in both the theory and practice of law in the world's most populous Muslim society.

This is an informative book whose presentation accurately reflects the era's colour and confidence.'
