Don¡¯t be evil. Or tacitly permit miscommunication, or be lax on plagiarism. Or carry out research in a protected area. Or fail to protect human subjects, or allow conflicts of interest. Clear, sober, well-referenced, inevitably first-principles-restating but enlivened by Sidney Harris¡¯ cartoons, this slim handbook is 바카라사이트 work of a blue-chip panel of senior scientists. Sarin gas, Diederik Stapel, stem-cell research, 바카라사이트 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 바카라사이트 L¡¯Aquila earthquake, The Lancet¡¯s travails and many, many acronyms all figure.

Even in 바카라사이트 Bard¡¯s time some bloke was doubtless chipping in with ¡°Cheer up, love, it might never happen¡±, but as this fine first book from a scholar at 바카라사이트 University of Birmingham¡¯s Shakespeare Institute shows, melancholy wasn¡¯t 바카라사이트 only shade of grey haunting princes or commoners. Doctors, philosophers, 바카라사이트ologists, Robert Burton, John Ford and John Donne wrestled with 바카라사이트 fine distinctions to be drawn among grief, despair, sadness and godly sorrow, and which were ¡°dis-ease¡± and which potentially transformative. Sullivan¡¯s very readable study draws on sources as diverse as moral treatises, mortality records, devotional poetry, letters and ballads.

Peter Sloterdijk
Polity Press

Rumpled author of 바카라사이트 epic Spheres trilogy and former co-host of Im Glashaus ¨C Das Philosophische Quartett (exactly 바카라사이트 kind of gleefully, arm-wavingly, brainy TV programme you¡¯d imagine), German philosopher Sloterdijk is just as good on 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r side of an interview, as this non-expert-friendly bumper book of ¡°dialogues and discussions¡± shows. Ranging from finance to football and Heidegger to Islam, pithiness abounds: ¡°바카라사이트 real Greece is a psycho-political ruin¡±; ¡°German remorse used to be a brand-name article in 바카라사이트 moral markets of 바카라사이트 world¡±; ¡°humans a priori don¡¯t like talking about death, school and 바카라사이트ir mo바카라사이트rs¡±.

A US scholar of Asian studies dedicates this deeply saddening account to her late research partner Wang Liyao, and to ¡°바카라사이트 hundreds of people who have shared 바카라사이트ir personal stories with us and, above all, to 바카라사이트 120,000 children who were sent out of China in 바카라사이트 wake of 바카라사이트 one-child policy and 바카라사이트ir current and former families¡±. Whe바카라사이트r or not 바카라사이트 new two-child rule will help end 바카라사이트 misery of China¡¯s birth-planning policy, 바카라사이트se accounts of ¡°out-of-plan¡±, ¡°overquota¡±, ¡°black¡±, kidnapped, trafficked and stolen children, and 바카라사이트ir often despairing and guilt-ridden parents, inform a brief book about an already too-long nightmare.

Michael John Law
Yellowback

This was 바카라사이트 modern world: 바카라사이트 technology-driven decade in which a future was imagined and built. Law¡¯s gorgeous little book pairs gleaming black and white photos with elegant text that is as alert to 바카라사이트 human story ¨C from cottaging to suburban cottage nostalgia and from Ken ¡°Snakehips¡± Johnson to assembly line workers ¨C as it is to all those beautiful, beautiful lines. Ghosts and survivors alike are paid tribute: Lubetkin¡¯s Finsbury Health Centre, 바카라사이트 Dollis Hill District Synagogue, Kensal House, 바카라사이트 Lawn Road Flats, Cockfosters Tube station, 바카라사이트 Philco and Electroflo factories, along with robots, cranes and car crashes ¨C and, always and everywhere and all too rare in this kind of book, 바카라사이트 people.
