In this monograph, journalist Rinke van den Brink takes a closer look at the limitations and risks of today’s antibiotic use. Though all developed societies have grown accustomed to successfully treating bacterial infections with these wonder drugs, the author focuses on the increasing number of antibiotic-resistant infections. By examining recent mass outbreaks, readers will gain a better understanding of the global impact of antimicrobial resistance – one of the most serious public health threats today. Following this somewhat disquieting review of the status quo, interviews with a number of specialists provide an outlook on possible solutions. In a world that is more connected than ever, partnerships between different healthcare systems are becoming all the more important. Rinke van den Brink uses the example of a border-spanning collaboration between the Netherlands and Germany to demonstrate how effective lines of communication can be established. The book offers a wealth of useful background information for healthcare personnel. Not only does it share insights into the functional microbe-antibiotic relationship; it also discusses how clinics can effectively address outbreaks, helping readers to learn from past experiences and develop effective new strategies.

In Seeking a Research-Ethics Covenant in the Social Sciences, Will C. van den Hoonaard chronicles the negative influence that medical research-ethics frameworks have had on social science research-ethics policies. He argues that the root causes of the current ethics disorder in the social sciences are the aggressive audit culture in universities and the privilege accorded to medical research ethics, which overrides ethical issues in all other disciplines. Van den Hoonaard recovers the unique history of research ethics in sociology and anthropology and provides an overview of proposals to remedy the situation. Based on an analysis of current regimes, he provides a detailed plan for how to unshackle research ethics in the social sciences from medical frameworks. Central to this plan is an insistence that covenantal ethics be embedded in the professional training of researchers in the social sciences. Based on decades of research, advocacy, and engagement with research-ethics policy at all levels, with a chapter by Marco Marzano (University of Bergamo), the book will be of interest to researchers, policy makers, and administrators who seek to support the full potential of social science research.

Will Love Conquer All? Half of the world has been cloaked in darkness since the sun stopped shining twenty-five years ago. Living on these shadow plains are mutants: creatures that have lost their humanity due to a genetic mutation. These mutants pose a threat to the rest of the world, and their numbers are still growing. Hunter Jameson, a talented young trauma surgeon in the army of Ardenza, has just finished her training when she's asked to join the infamous Special Shadow Unit's mission 3B. Arriving at the base, she has to fight her way through many obstacles, the biggest being the General himself. She must prove herself to him-both for her own peace of mind as for the sake of the mission. But in the heat of battle, the General unleashes more than just her will to fight. Nikolai Zaregova is the commanding general of mission 3B, and perhaps even more famous than the mission itself. No one knows the shadow plains as well as he does, and his entire life has been devoted to successfully completing the mission he started. Nikolai seems to have everything under control-until a young trauma surgeon joins his ranks and changes everything for him.
