Arzneimittel verstehen: Die Kunst, aus Risiken Nutzen zu machen
by Robert Schultz-HeienbrokEs gibt zahlreiche Bücher zum Thema "Arzneimittel" auf dem Markt; von blindem Glauben an die Fortschritte der Pharmaindustrie, bis hin zur kompletten Verteufelung. Dieses Buch klärt darüber auf, wie Arzneimittel überhaupt auf den Markt kommen, welche Verfahren die Industrie durchlaufen muss, bevor ein neues Medikament lanciert wird und welche Regeln in diesem Millionengeschäft gelten. Klar verständlich, locker und unterhaltsam geschrieben vermittelt der Autor neutral und wertfrei was sich alles hinter dem Begriff "Arzneimittel" verbirgt.
Arzneimittelpreise in Deutschland unter AMNOG: Frühe Nutzenbewertung, Dossiererstellung und Verhandlung von Erstattungsbeträgen
by Thomas EckerAus Sicht des Gesetzgebers ging es bei der Neuordnung des Arzneimittelmarktes in der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung (AMNOG) darum, den Versicherten die bestmögliche medizinische Versorgung zu ermöglichen, dabei aber die finanzielle Belastung für die Krankenkassen zu regulieren. In diesem Sinne sollen sich die Preise für Arzneimittel an deren (Zusatz-)Nutzen für Patienten orientieren. Der Verhandlung des Erstattungsbetrags zwischen pharmazeutischen Unternehmen und dem Spitzenverband Bund der gesetzlichen Krankenkassen (GKV-SV) geht daher die frühe Nutzenbewertung durch den Gemeinsamen Bundesausschuss (G-BA) voraus. Grundlage hierfür ist das Nutzendossier, das vom pharmazeutischen Unternehmen zu erstellen ist. Dieses Fachbuch beleuchtet strukturiert die Hintergründe der frühen Nutzenbewertung und stellt rechtliche Vorgaben sowie beteiligte Institutionen vor. Im Anschluss wird das eigentliche Verfahren der frühen Nutzenbewertung detailliert beschrieben. Die Darstellung orientiert sich dabei an einer übersichtlichen Unterteilung des Verfahrens in die Phasen Vorbereitung, Dossiererstellung, Nutzenbewertung und Beschluss sowie Erstattungsbetragsverhandlung. Auch das weitere Vorgehen nach einem möglichen Scheitern der Verhandlungen wird vorgestellt. Das Buch folgt dabei der Perspektive des pharmazeutischen Unternehmers und bietet diesem eine umfassende Orientierung.

Arzneiverordnungs-Report 2021
by Wolf-Dieter Ludwig Bernd Mühlbauer Roland SeifertDer Arzneiverordnungs-Report ist seit 1985 eine gemeinsame Publikation von Autoren aus Pharmakologie, Klinik, Praxis, Gesundheitsökonomie und Krankenversicherung. Basis sind die Verordnungsdaten von Arzneimitteln für ambulante Patienten der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung (GKV). Datenbasis des Jahres 2020 sind ca. 820 Mio. Verordnungen von 150.363 Vertragsärzten und 62.876 Vertragszahnärzten für 73,4 Mio. GKV-Versicherte. Die allgemeine Verordnungs- und Marktentwicklung wird in 6 Kapiteln behandelt, in denen u.a. neue Arzneimittel des Jahres 2020, die Kosten-Nutzen-Analyse von onkologischen Arzneimitteln, Marktsteuerungsmechanismen und Preise von Biologika bzw. Biosimilars sowie die Klassifizierung von Arzneistoffgruppen diskutiert werden.Die Nettokosten für Arzneimittel in der GKV sind 2020 weiter um 5 % auf rund 46 Mrd. € gestiegen, vor allem durch neue, hochpreisige Patentarzneimittel. Hauptkostentreiber waren Onkologika (9,5 Mrd. €, + 12,4 %) und Antidiabetika (2,8 Mrd. €, + 16,8 %). Ein wesentlicher Grund für die Kostenprobleme ist der seit Jahren beobachtete Anstieg der Jahrestherapiekosten neu eingeführter Arzneimittel. Dieser Trend zu hochpreisigen Patentarzneimitteln ist durch das Arzneimittelmarktneuordnungsgesetz (AMNOG) sogar 10 Jahre nach seiner Einführung nicht genügend abgeschwächt worden, auch wenn mit der Vereinbarung von Erstattungsbeträgen 2020 insgesamt 3,7 Mrd. € an Einsparungen erzielt werden konnten.

Arzthaftung und Verjährung
by Benjamin GoehlDieses Buch analysiert die praxisrelevante Frage der Verjährung von Arzthaftungsansprüchen. In einem ersten Teil werden die dogmatischen Grundlagen der Verjährung dargestellt. Auf dieser Basis erfolgt eine Untersuchung der Voraussetzungen des Verjährungsbeginns im Allgemeinen. Den Schwerpunkt bildet dabei die Auslegung der Begriffe der Kenntnis und der grob fahrlässigen Unkenntnis des Gläubigers. Zugleich bietet das Buch einen Überblick über die Auslegung der Verjährungsregeln durch die Praxis, insbesondere den BGH. Der dritte Teil des Buches widmet sich den Problemen der Verjährung im Kontext der Arzthaftung. Es unterscheidet zwischen der Haftung für Behandlungs- und Aufklärungsfehler und bietet eine umfassende Rechtsprechungsanalyse. Es werden die im Rahmen der Verjährung zu berücksichtigenden Besonderheiten in Arzthaftungsfällen, auch solche des Prozessrechts, herausgearbeitet und untersucht. Im Wege einer Fallgruppenbildung werden Lösungsansätze für typische Problemfälle angeboten.
Ärztlich assistierter Suizid und organisierte Sterbehilfe (Veröffentlichungen des Instituts für Deutsches, Europäisches und Internationales Medizinrecht, Gesundheitsrecht und Bioethik der Universitäten Heidelberg und Mannheim #39)
by Kallia GavelaDas deutsche Strafgesetzbuch kennt keinen Sondertatbestand der Suizidbeteiligung. Rechtliche Konstruktionen und Wertungen insbesondere höchstrichterlicher Herkunft füllen diese Lücke. Die sich daraus vor allem für behandelnde Ärzte ergebenden Probleme drängen sich bei unheilbar kranken, dem Tode geweihten Patienten geradezu auf. Das Werk behandelt diese Fragen im Spannungsverhältnis von Strafrecht, Medizinrecht und Ethik. Die Autorin zeigt die Grenzen auf, innerhalb derer die ärztliche Beteiligung am Patientensuizid rechtlich zulässig und ethisch vertretbar ist. Die Arbeit behandelt außerdem die Probleme, die aus der Einführung einer strafrechtlichen Regelung gegen "suspekte" organisierte Suizidhilfeangebote erwachsen, deckt Defizite der jüngst vorgeschlagenen Lösungsansätze auf und gibt Anstöße für Wissenschaft, Praxis und Kriminalpolitik. Ein Blick auf ausländische Rechtsordnungen, Entscheidungen und Tendenzen rundet das Bild ab.
Ärztliche Begutachtung von A - Z: Fachbegriffe, die der ärztliche Gutachter kennen muss
by Elmar LudolphIn diesem Buch werden die wichtigsten rechtlichen Begriffe, die der ärztliche Gutachter kennen sollte, übersichtlich, kompakt und vor allem präzise erläutert. Derselbe Begriff kann in Medizin und Rechtswissenschaft durchaus unterschiedlich verstanden werden. So ist die interdisziplinäre Kommunikation zwischen ärztlichen Sachverständigen und Gerichten/Verwaltung/Versicherungen eine schwierige Aufgabe für alle Beteiligten. Viele Streitfragen könnten allerdings vermieden werden, wenn man gerade bei diesen von Juristen und Medizinern gemeinsam benutzten Begriffen nicht aneinander vorbeireden würde. Hier setzt das Buch an: Für alle nachvollziehbar und dennoch mit höchster Präzision werden die wichtigsten Begriffe – sortiert von A – Z – definiert. Stolpersteine – „Cave“ – werden thematisiert und hervorgehoben. Darüber hinaus runden Hinweise auf die Pflichten des ärztlichen Gutachters und zahlreiche Tipps für die Erstellung und Abrechnung von ärztlichen Gutachten das Werk ab. Der Schwerpunkt der Erläuterungen betrifft den orthopädisch-unfallchirurgischen Bereich, den Herr Dr. Ludolph vertritt.Neu in der 2. Auflage sind:Ergänzung und Verbesserung von Kernbegriffen und Begriffen, die unmittelbar damit zusammenhängen.Thematisierung von in der Praxis auftretenden Problemen, wie z.B. die unterschiedlichen Beweisanforderungen von Dienstunfallrecht und Gesetzlicher Unfallversicherung.Überarbeitung der Begriffe hinsichtlich der aktuellen Rechtsprechung.
Ärztliche Dokumentationspflicht und Einsichtsrecht in Patientenakten: Eine Untersuchung zu den §§ 630f und 630g BGB mit Bezügen zum nationalen sowie europäischen Datenschutzrecht (MedR Schriftenreihe Medizinrecht)
by Thomas BayerDieses Buch analysiert die Rechtslage in Bezug auf Patientenakten in Deutschland. Es behandelt schwerpunktmäßig die ärztliche Dokumentationspflicht, das Einsichtsrecht des Patienten in seine Behandlungsunterlagen sowie Fragen zur gesetzlich vorgeschriebenen Aufbewahrung und Archivierung. Die Darstellung orientiert sich dabei sowohl am neuen Behandlungsvertragsrecht der §§ 630a ff. BGB als auch an den standesrechtlichen Vorgaben der ärztlichen Berufsordnungen. Daneben diskutiert es Lösungsvorschläge für bisher noch offene Rechtsfragen im Bereich des postmortalen Einsichtsrechts der Erben und Angehörigen sowie zum Umgang mit sensiblen Inhalten, die einer Einsichtnahme durch den Patienten im Einzelfall entzogen sind. Ein weiterer Abschnitt behandelt wesentliche Schnittstellen zum nationalen und europäischen Datenschutzrecht, insbesondere zum Auskunftsanspruch nach Art. 15 DSGVO. Erwähnung finden ferner die sozialrechtlichen Regelungen zur Einführung der elektronischen Gesundheitskarte.

Ärztliche Offenbarungspflichten bei Behandlungsfehlern: Eine Untersuchung des Regelungszusammenhangs des § 630c Abs. 2 Satz 2 und 3 BGB und seiner Auswirkungen (MedR Schriftenreihe Medizinrecht)
by Gesa FrankeIm Zuge der Kodifizierung des Patientenrechtegesetzes im Februar 2013 normierte der Gesetzgeber in § 630c Abs. 2 Satz 2 BGB eine vertragliche Offenbarungspflicht des Behandelnden und ergänzte diese in § 630c Abs. 2 Satz 3 BGB um ein sog. Beweisverwendungsverbot. Dieser Regelungskomplex wurde innerhalb des rechtswissenschaftlichen Diskurses als eine der wenigen sachlichen Innovationen, die mit der Kodifizierung des Patientenrechtegesetzes einhergingen, gewertet. Das vorliegende Buch analysiert die konkrete Ausgestaltung der überaus kontrovers diskutierten Normierung und bettet sie in den Gesamtkontext fehlerbezogener Auskunfts- und Informationspflichten ein. Das Werk beleuchtet zudem die Frage, inwiefern über § 630c Abs. 2 Satz 2 BGB hinausgehende ärztliche (Fehler-)Offenbarungspflichten nach geltender Rechtslage existieren und zeigt rechtspolitische Ideen und Anreize zur Effektivierung der Offenbarungspflicht auf.

Ärztliches Handeln zwischen Kunst und Wissenschaft (Gesundheit. Politik - Gesellschaft - Wirtschaft)
by Tanja MerlAls vermeintlich selbstverständlicher Bestandteil der ärztlichen Tätigkeit ist die ‚ärztliche Kunst’ ein scheinbar vertrautes Phänomen, das im Alltagsverständnis auf allgemeine Akzeptanz stößt. Erst auf den zweiten Blick eröffnen sich Unklarheiten und Ambivalenzen. Eine substantielle Auseinandersetzung mit dem Begriff, seinen Implikationen und seines Stellenwerts - erst recht unter den gewandelten Bedingungen einer verwissenschaftlichten, technisierten und ökonomisierten Medizin - fehlt bislang. Durch die arbeitssoziologische Analyse können grundlegende Elemente der ‚ärztlichen Kunst’ empirisch präzisiert und handlungstheoretisch fundiert sowie ihre Bedeutung im Rahmen gegenwärtigen ärztlichen Handelns aufgezeigt werden.

Das Buch wendet sich an alle Berufsgruppen und insbesondere Ärztinnen und Ärzte aller Fachrichtungen, die Patientinnen und Patienten mit chronischen Wunden bei peripherer arterieller Verschlusskrankheit, diabetischem Fußsyndrom, chronisch venöser Insuffizienz oder anderen Ursachen behandeln.
Arztpraxis - erfolgreiche Abgabe: Betriebswirtschaft, Steuer, Gesellschaftsrecht, Berufs- und Zulassungsrecht (Erfolgskonzepte Praxis- & Krankenhaus-Management)
by Götz Bierling Harald Engel Anja Mezger Daniel Pfofe Wolfgang Pütz Dietmar SedlaczekDieses Buch bietet Ihnen alle Informationen, um die Abgabe Ihrer Arztpraxis strategisch optimal zu planen. Was muss lang-, mittel- und kurzfristig beachtet werden. Irgendwann ist der Zeitpunkt gekommen, an dem jeder Arzt seine Praxis oder seine Praxisanteile abgeben wird. Dies kann aus den unterschiedlichsten Gründen erfolgen und stellt den Praxisinhaber oftmals vor viele organisatorische Herausforderungen. Warum sollte man sich also jetzt schon Gedanken um die eigene Praxisabgabe machen? Ganz einfach: Die Vielschichtigkeit der Praxisabgabe wird häufig unterschätzt und ihre Abgabe gestaltet sich nicht mehr so einfach wie noch vor einigen Jahren. Sie ist infolge immer umfangreicher werdender rechtlicher Rahmenbedingungen ein inzwischen sehr komplexes Konstrukt. Gerade die Attraktivität der eigenen Praxis zu steigern und so ihren Wert zu sichern ist nur mit einer frühzeitigen Planung möglich. Sie sind daher als Praxisinhaber gefordert, sich rechtzeitig auf die Praxisabgabe vorzubereiten und frühzeitig mit den Problemen auseinanderzusetzen. Denn Praxisabgaben können besonders dann scheitern, wenn man sich zu spät mit diesem Thema beschäftigt. Dieses Buch richtet sich daher an alle Ärzte, gleichgültig ob sie eine eigene Praxis haben oder den Beruf mit anderen Ärzten gemeinsam ausüben, und soll ihnen den Weg für eine erfolgreiche Praxisabgabe weisen. Rechtsanwälte, Steuerberater, Betriebswirte und Vertreter der Kassenärztlichen Vereinigung haben dieses Buch gemeinsam erarbeitet, um dem Leser so ausführliche und umfassende Einblicke aus den verschiedenen Perspektiven zu vermitteln. Entscheiden Sie sich dazu, die Ratschläge dieses Buches zu berücksichtigen, so steht Ihrer erfolgreichen Praxisabgabe nichts mehr im Wege.

Arzú. Y el tiempo se me fue
by Méndez VidesDurante más de dos años Méndez Vides, escritor y periodista, se reunió semanalmente con el político Álvaro Arzú. Se estableció limitar los encuentros a hora y media, lo cual se respetó meticulosamente, empezando en el minuto exacto e interrumpiendo la amena "plática" a la hora determinada aunque se deseara continuar fuera del límite previsto. En un momento dado, las preguntas lograban pasar habilidosamente inadvertidas ante lo relevante del testimonio que iba desde un plano personal eíntimo, hasta grandes acontecimientos históricos, como la firma de los Acuerdos de Paz en 1996, sonados secuestros de guatemaltecos influyentes meses antes de concretarse dicha firma -y que la hicieron tambalear- y, desde luego, los entresijos del poder que Arzú conoce muy bien. Álvaro Arzú, presidente de Guatemala de 1996 a 2000, cinco veces alcalde de la ciudad de Guatemala e indiscutible y polémico líder político, comparte su experiencia ante el escritor Méndez Vides respondiendo a sus incisivas preguntas. Arzú, reelecto como alcalde para el periodo 2016-2020, nos relata los últimos cincuenta años de la historia política de Guatemala. Sus seguidores, opositores y rivales se buscarán en estas memorias políticamente incorrectas que no dejarán indiferente al lector.

As a City on a Hill: The Story of America's Most Famous Lay Sermon
by Daniel T. RodgersHow an obscure Puritan sermon came to be seen as a founding document of American identity and exceptionalism“For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill,” John Winthrop warned his fellow Puritans at New England’s founding in 1630. More than three centuries later, Ronald Reagan remade that passage into a timeless celebration of American promise. How were Winthrop’s long-forgotten words reinvented as a central statement of American identity and exceptionalism? In As a City on a Hill, leading American intellectual historian Daniel Rodgers tells the surprising story of one of the most celebrated documents in the canon of the American idea. In doing so, he brings to life the ideas Winthrop’s text carried in its own time and the sharply different yearnings that have been attributed to it since.As a City on a Hill shows how much more malleable, more saturated with vulnerability, and less distinctly American Winthrop’s “Model of Christian Charity” was than the document that twentieth-century Americans invented. Across almost four centuries, Rodgers traces striking shifts in the meaning of Winthrop’s words—from Winthrop’s own anxious reckoning with the scrutiny of the world, through Abraham Lincoln’s haunting reference to this “almost chosen people,” to the “city on a hill” that African Americans hoped to construct in Liberia, to the era of Donald Trump.As a City on a Hill reveals the circuitous, unexpected ways Winthrop’s words came to lodge in American consciousness. At the same time, the book offers a probing reflection on how nationalism encourages the invention of “timeless” texts to straighten out the crooked realities of the past.

As a Lady Would Say
by Sheryl ShadeHave you ever been in a situation in which you were caught off guard, left speechless, or, worse yet, put your foot in your mouth?This easily accessible book focuses on those moments when knowing exactly what to say is both a challenge and important. From the light-hearted "how to react when your boyfriend gives you a blender as a gift" or "what to say when you run into another lady at a party wearing exactly the same dress" to the more serious "what to say to a friend who has had a miscarriage or to a friend who has suffered the sudden death of a parent." As A Lady Would Say differs from other etiquette books. It not only offers suggestions for the correct thing to say in more than 100 social situations, but it gives humorous examples of the wrong thing to say as well. Saying the right thing requires a little logic, a bit of forethought, and a great deal of consideration for others. With the advice provided in this book, a lady will never need to stumble or stutter again.
As a Lady Would Say Revised & Updated: Responses to Life's Important (and Sometimes Awkward) Situations (The GentleManners Series)
by Sheryl ShadeSo much depends on being a lady. A true one knows that thequestion, "How are you today?" isn't an invitation for her to unload the day'sordeals.

As a Man Grows Older (New York Review Books. Classics #No. 25)
by Italo Svevo Beryl De ZoeteNot so long ago Emilio Brentani was a promising young author. Now he is an insurance agent on the fast track to forty. He gains a new lease on life, though, when he falls for the young and gorgeous Angiolina--except that his angel just happens to be an unapologetic cheat. But what begins as a comedy of infatuated misunderstanding ends in tragedy, as Emilio's jealous persistence in his folly--against his friends' and devoted sister's advice, and even his own best knowledge--leads to the loss of the one person who, too late, he realizes he truly loves.Marked by deep humanity and earthy humor, by psychological insight and an elegant simplicity of style, As a Man Grows Older (Senilità, in Italian; the English title was the suggestion of Svevo's great friend and admirer, James Joyce) is a brilliant study of hopeless love and hapless indecision. It is a masterwork of Italian literature, here beautifully rendered into English in Beryl de Zoete's classic translation.-Print ed."The poem of our complex modern madness."--EUGENIO MONTALE"Svevo has the capacity--so rare as to be almost unknown in the English novel--of handling emotional relationships with a combined tenderness, humour and realism."--THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT

As a Man Thinketh
by James AllenAs a Man Thinketh is James Allen's third book, first published in 1903. In it, he details how man is the creator and shaper of his destiny by the thoughts which he thinks. He rises and falls in exact accordance with the character of the thoughts which he entertains. His environment is the result of what he has thought and done in the past, and his circumstances in the future are being shaped and built by his present desires, aspirations, thoughts and actions. He therefore who chooses and pursues a particular line of thought, consciously builds his own destiny. Part of the New Thought Movement, Allen reveals the secrets to having the most fulfilling existence possible, and it’s easier than any of us could have imagined. The title for the essay comes from the Bible: “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he,” Proverbs, chapter 23, verse 7. In more than a century, As A Man Thinketh has become an inspirational classic, selling millions of copies worldwide and bringing faith, inspiration, and self healing to all who have encountered it.

In the series Classic Thoughts and Thinkers, explore some of the most influential texts of our time along with the inner workings of its greatest thinkers. With works from great American figures such as Theodore Roosevelt and Emily Dickinson and seminal documents including the Constitution of the Unites States, this series focuses on the most reflective and thought-provoking writings of the last two centuries. These beautiful hardcovers are the perfect historical perspective for meeting the challenges of the modern world. Other titles in this series include: Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, Collected Poems of Robert Frost, Common Sense, Constitution of the United States with the Declaration of Independence, Helen Keller, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson, and Theodore Roosevelt’s Words of Wit and Wisdom.
As a Man Thinketh
by James AllenThe aphorism, "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he," not only embraces the whole of a man's being, but is so comprehensive as to reach out to every condition and circumstance of his life. A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts. As the plant springs from, and could not be without, the seed, so every act of a man springs from the hidden seeds of thought, and could not have appeared without them. This applies equally to those acts called "spontaneous" and "unpremeditated" as to those, which are deliberately executed. Act is the blossom of thought, and joy and suffering are its fruits; thus does a man garner in the sweet and bitter fruitage of his own husbandry.

As a Woman: What I Learned about Power, Sex, and the Patriarchy after I Transitioned
by Paula Stone WilliamsThis moving and unforgettable memoir of a transgender pastor&’s transition from male to female is an &“audacious, gripping, and profoundly real journey that speaks to the mind, heart, and soul&” (Joshua J. Dickson, director of Faith Based Initiatives, Biden Campaign)—perfect for fans of Redefining Realness and There Is Room for You.As a father of three, married to a wonderful woman, and holding several prominent jobs within the Christian community, Dr. Paula Stone Williams made the life-changing decision to physically transition from male to female at the age of sixty. Almost instantly, her power and influence in the evangelical world disappeared and her family had to grapple with intense feelings of loss and confusion.Feeling utterly alone after being expelled from the evangelical churches she had once spearheaded, Paula struggled to create a new safe space for herself where she could reconcile her faith, her identity, and her desire to be a leader. Much to her surprise, the key to her new career as a woman came with a deeper awareness of the inequities she had overlooked before her transition. Where her opinions were once celebrated and amplified, now she found herself sidelined and ignored. New questions emerged. Why are women&’s opinions devalued in favor of men&’s? Why does love and intimacy feel so different? And, was it possible to find a new spirituality in her own image?In As a Woman, Paula&’s &“critical questions about gender, personhood, and place are relevant to anyone. Her writing insightfully reveals aspects of our gender socialization and culture that often go unexamined, but that need to be talked about, challenged, and changed&” (Soraya Chemaly, author of Rage Becomes Her) in order to fully understand what it means to be male, female, and simply, human.

As affecting the fate of my absent husband
by Erika Behrisch Elce Lady Jane FranklinFrom her optimistic requests to whaling ships to her persistent demands for Admiralty aid, Lady Franklin played a crucial role in the search for her husband. Her correspondence with British prime ministers, members of Parliament, lords of the Admiralty, and a US president presents a private, domestic side to a national tragedy and sheds new light on what Sir John Franklin's disappearance meant to England, its public, and its sense of itself as an imperial power. With comprehensive annotations, a descriptive timeline, and an introduction that outlines the significance of Lady Franklin's contribution to the "Arctic debate," As affecting the fate of my absent husband is a convincing portrait of the surprisingly disruptive effects - on both the public consciousness and the government bureaucracy - of a single, eloquent, voice of dissent.
As affecting the fate of my absent husband: Selected Letters of Lady Franklin Concerning the Search for the Lost Franklin Expedition, 1848-1860 (McGill-Queen's Indigenous and Northern Studies #154)
by Lady Jane Franklin Erika Behrisch ElceThe tragic fate of the lost Franklin expedition (1845-48) is a well-known part of exploration history, but there has always been a gap in the story - a personal account that begs to be told. In As affecting the fate of my absent husband, Erika Behrisch Elce has collected the poignant letters of Sir John Franklin's wife, Jane, which provide a vital new perspective on the tragedy. From her optimistic requests to whaling ships to her persistent demands for Admiralty aid, Lady Franklin played a crucial role in the search for her husband. Her correspondence with British prime ministers, members of Parliament, lords of the Admiralty, and a US president presents a private, domestic side to a national tragedy and sheds new light on what Sir John Franklin's disappearance meant to England, its public, and its sense of itself as an imperial power. With comprehensive annotations, a descriptive timeline, and an introduction that outlines the significance of Lady Franklin's contribution to the "Arctic debate," As affecting the fate of my absent husband is a convincing portrait of the surprisingly disruptive effects - on both the public consciousness and the government bureaucracy - of a single, eloquent, voice of dissent. As affecting the fate of my absent husband is essential reading not only for anyone interested in Victorian adventure and the Arctic but as an introduction to one of the most fascinating women of the nineteenth century.
As Always
by Madeleine Gagnon Howard Scott Phyllis AronoffOne of Canada's greatest literary figures reflects on life at the centre of Quebec literary arts. Re-examining the influences of her early life in a large, rural Catholic family, Madeleine Gagnon not only explores her rejection of unexamined values as part of her intellectual development but also her refusal to be categorized by her gender.Karl Marx replaced Paul Claudel in Gagnon's intellectual pantheon. Psychoanalysis gave rise to the desire to write, and her first works poured out in a torrent. She describes the friendships that played such a large part in her life and the feminist battles of the time with all their hopes and disappointments. At the same time she casts a sharp eye on contemporary Quebec society, tracing the emergence of a distinct Canadian literature.This is an account of a life well lived, told with candour, wisdom, and an inextinguishable sense of wonder.
As Always, Julia: The Letters of Julia Child & Avis DeVoto
by Joan ReardonThis revealing correspondence between the legendary French chef Julia Child and her dear friend is &“a delicious read&” (People).With her outsize personality, Julia Child is known by her first name alone. But how much do we really know of the inner Julia? Now more than 200 letters exchanged between Julia and Avis DeVoto, her friend and unofficial literary agent memorably introduced in the hit movie Julie & Julia, open the window on her deepest thoughts and feelings.This riveting correspondence chronicles the blossoming of a unique and lifelong friendship between the two women and the turbulent process of Julia&’s creation of Mastering the Art of French Cooking, one of the most influential cookbooks ever written. Bawdy, funny, exuberant, and occasionally agonized, these letters show Julia, first as a new bride in Paris, then becoming increasingly worldly and adventuresome as she follows her diplomat husband in his postings to Nice, Germany, and Norway. With commentary by food historian Joan Reardon, and covering topics as diverse as the lack of good wine in the United States, McCarthyism, and sexual mores, these letters show America on the verge of political, social, and gastronomic transformation.&“An absorbing portrait of an unexpected friendship.&”—Entertainment Weekly&“Two housewives, each in her 40s ... let rip about all kinds of things, from shallots, beurre blanc and the misery of dried herbs to politics, aging and sex ...

As American as Shoofly Pie
by William Woys WeaverWhen visitors travel to Pennsylvania Dutch Country, they are encouraged to consume the local culture by way of "regional specialties" such as cream-filled whoopie pies and deep-fried fritters of every variety. Yet many of the dishes and confections visitors have come to expect from the region did not emerge from Pennsylvania Dutch culture but from expectations fabricated by local-color novels or the tourist industry. At the same time, other less celebrated (and rather more delicious) dishes, such as sauerkraut and stuffed pork stomach, have been enjoyed in Pennsylvania Dutch homes across various localities and economic strata for decades.Celebrated food historian and cookbook writer William Woys Weaver delves deeply into the history of Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine to sort fact from fiction in the foodlore of this culture. Through interviews with contemporary Pennsylvania Dutch cooks and extensive research into cookbooks and archives, As American as Shoofly Pie offers a comprehensive and counterintuitive cultural history of Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine, its roots and regional characteristics, its communities and class divisions, and, above all, its evolution into a uniquely American style of cookery. Weaver traces the origins of Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine as far back as the first German settlements in America and follows them forward as New Dutch Cuisine continues to evolve and respond to contemporary food concerns. His detailed and affectionate chapters present a rich and diverse portrait of a living culinary practice--widely varied among different religious sects and localized communities, rich and poor, rural and urban--that complicates common notions of authenticity.Because there's no better way to understand food culture than to practice it, As American as Shoofly Pie's cultural history is accompanied by dozens of recipes, drawn from exacting research, kitchen-tested, and adapted to modern cooking conventions. From soup to Schnitz, these dishes lay the table with a multitude of regional tastes and stories.Hockt eich hie mit uns, un esst eich satt--Sit down with us and eat yourselves full!

As Bad as They Say?: Three Decades of Teaching in the Bronx
by Janet Grossbach MayerRundown, vermin-infested buildings. Rigid, slow-to-react bureaucratic systems. Children from broken homes and declining communities. How can a teacher succeed? How does a student not only survive but also come to thrive? It can happen, and As Bad as They Say? tells the heroic stories of Janet Mayer’s students during her 33-year tenure as a Bronx high school teacher. In 1995, Janet Mayer’s students began a pen-pal exchange with South African teenagers who, under apartheid, had been denied an education; almost uniformly, the South Africans asked, “Is the Bronx as bad as they say?” This dedicated teacher promised those students and all future ones that she would write a book to help change the stereotypical image of Bronx students and show that, in spite of overwhelming obstacles, they are outstanding young people, capable of the highest achievements. She walks the reader through the decrepit school building, describing in graphic detail the deplorable physical conditions that students and faculty navigate daily. Then, in eight chapters we meet eight amazing young people, a small sample of the more than 14,000 students the writer has felt honored to teach. She describes her own Bronx roots and the powerful influences that made her such a determined teacher. Finally, the veteran teacher sounds the alarm to stop the corruption and degradation of public education in the guise of what are euphemistically labeled “reforms” (No Child Left Behind and Race to the Top). She also expresses optimism that public education and our democracy can still be saved, urgently calling on all to become involved and help save our schools.
As Black As Resistance: Finding The Conditions For Liberation
by William C. Anderson Mariame Kaba Zoe SamudziBoth theoretical and pragmatic, this refreshingly savvy book charts a course for the Black Lives Matter generation. In the United States, both struggles against oppression and the gains made by various movements for equality have often been led by Black people. Still, though progress has regularly been fueled by radical Black efforts, liberal politics are based on ideas and practices that impede the continued progress of Black America. Building on their original essay "The Anarchism of Blackness," Samudzi and Anderson show the centrality of anti-Blackness to the foundational violence of the United States and to the racial structures upon which it is based as a nation. Racism is not, they say, simply a product of capitalism. Rather, we must understand how anti-Blackness shaped the contours and logics of European colonialism and its many legacies, to the extent that "Blackness" and "citizenship" are exclusive categories. As Black As Resistance makes the case for a new program of self-defense and transformative politics for Black Americans, one rooted in an anarchistic framework that the authors liken to the Black experience itself. This book argues against compromise and negotiation with intolerance. It is a manifesto for everyone who is ready to continue progressing towards liberation. "As Black as Resistance is an urgently needed book . . . a call to action through an embrace of the anarchy of blackness as a recognition and a refusal of the deathly logics of liberalism and consumption. In the face of the ever expanding carceral state, levels of inequality, environmental degradation, and resurgent fascism, this book offers a map to imagining the liberated futures that we can and must and do make." --Christina Sharpe, author of In the Wake: On Blackness and Being

As die liefde seëvier
by Heleen MalherbeHeleen is in Pretoria gebore en daar groot geword. Sy het in 2000 begin skryf na haar seun se dood. In 2011 het sy ernstig begin skryf en drie digbundels gepubliseer. Van 2015 publiseer sy ander skrywers se werk. "Vanoggend brand die helder son weer alles dood" praat Amanda met Paul, wat net sit, moedeloos met sy kop in sy hande.

As Diferenças entre Homem-Mulher
by Juan Moises de la Serna Claudio VazPara falar de diferenças homem-mulher é preciso começar pela genética, pois sobre esta base que se sustentam as diferenças posteriores. O ser humano contém 23 pares de cromossomos (unidades onde se empacotam o DNA e o RNA). O RNA porta a informação genética relativa ao sexo, por isso se denomina cromossomo sexual. Existem dois tipos desses cromossomos, o X e o Y. A mulher sempre terá o X no óvulo, enquanto o homem pode ter X ou Y nos espermatozoides.
As dit voel soos liefde
by Didi PotgieterDis of sy vir die heel eerste keer kan vóél … Terwyl Natasha haar huwelik probeer ontbind, klou haar ontroue man onverwags daaraan, beslis nie omdat hy skielik ontdek het hy het haar eintlik lief nie. Saam met die stuiptrekkings van hierdie huwelik, verskyn ’n ander komplikasie in haar lewe: ’n man wat sy vier jaar gelede op haar wittebrood gesien het en nooit kon vergeet nie. Nooit, ooit sal sy haar weer in ’n huwelik begewe omdat dit die regte ding is om te doen nie, neem sy haar voor, of om iemand anders te behaag. Dit kos haar egter nie juis oorreding om Marc daarvan te oortuig nie. Hy glo trouens glad nie in die huwelik nie, en omdat hy so dikwels vir sy werk in Londen moet wees, is dit nie eens ’n opsie nie. Al twee weet hul fisieke aantrekkingskrag kan vir hulle net pyn bring. En al twee vind dit ewe moeilik om van mekaar af weg te bly. Toe gebeur daar iets wat hul lewe totaal omvergooi en hulle moet sterk staan in omstandighede wat nie een van hulle voorsien het nie.

by Susana da Silva Rodrigues Marc BacoPrefácio Este livro é uma compilação dos meus artigos publicados até ao momento e que constam do blogue (Atualização: 27.7.2015) em www.marcbaco.de completado por orientações das constelações familiares do meu boletim informativo "Constelações familiares - de forma prática". Podes ainda ler a maior parte da informação de forma gratuita e sempre que quiseres na minha página. Dado que utilizo o tratamento informal ("tu") no blogue, também o mantive aqui, contrariamente ao que é habitual nos outros livros da minha autoria sobre constelações familiares. Só durante a compilação deste livro voltei a tomar consciência de quão diversas são na realidade as constelações familiares. Já foquei bastantes aspetos, mas muitos ainda nem sequer foram abordados. Por isso, decidi editar este volume como o primeiro de uma série: As facetas das constelações familiares Publicarei um volume aproximadamente de meio em meio ano. Assim, com o tempo, possuirás um compêndio abrangente sobre os diversos aspetos das constelações familiares. Desejo-te muita alegria e ensinamentos úteis na sua companhia! Marc Baco
As Far as My Feet Will Carry Me

Clemens Forell, a German soldier, was sentenced to 25 years of forced labour in a Siberian lead mine after the Second World War.

As Far as My Feet Will Carry Me: The Extraordinary True Story of One Man's Escape from a Siberian Labor Camp and His 3-Year Trek to Freedom
by Josef M. BauerIn 1944, German paratrooper Clemens Forell was captured by the Soviets and sentenced to twenty-five years of labor in a Siberian lead mine. In the Gulags, this was virtually a death sentence. Driven to desperation by the brutality of the prison camp, he staged a daring escape. For the next three years, Forell traveled 8,000 miles in barren, frozen wilderness, haunted by blizzards, wolves, criminals, the KGB, and the fear of recapture and retribution. Only a remarkable will to survive, and a bit of luck, allowed him to reach the safety of the Persian border. The resulting story is a rare document of the horrors faced by POWs in the Soviet Union, and a testament to the human spirit.

As Far As the Eye Can See
by Winslow E. ParkerThis collection of essays was first written to a small E-Mail list called "BlinkWords, in 1995/96. The catalyst for their writing was that, after nearly 20 years of dread and anxious trepidation, the Damoclean sword finally fell in April, 1995. The delicate intermediary tissue between light and brain finally failed. It was not for want of assistance. Those incredibly skilled and dedicated physicians who kept the darkness at bay have my highest esteem (see "Hands"). These writings grew from the landscape of this new experience. I found many similarities between the days of light and the days of dark. I also found profound differences and learned much in the process of my reflection and writing.
As Far As the Heart Can See: Stories to Illuminate the Soul
by Mark NepoStories carry the seeds of our humanness. They help us, teach us, heal us, and connect us to what matters. As Far As the Heart Can See is an invitation to be in relationship with deep and life-giving material. Many spiritual gurus present dense metaphysical theses with an intellectual approach for "working" a spiritual path; poet and philosopher Mark Nepo reaches people through their hearts, bringing something fresh and new to the field by stimulating change through reflection of thoughts and feelings. The stories he shares in As Far As the Heart Can See come from many places—from Nepo's personal history to dreams to the myths of our ancestors. Each one is an invitation to awaken an aspect of living in relationship with the sacred. Following each of the forty-five stories are three forms of an invitation to further the conversation: journal questions, table questions, and meditations. The questions, whether reflected upon in a journal or discussed in deeper conversation with friends or family, are meant to lead the seeker down unimagined paths and back into life; the meditations are meant to ground the learning. These stories and parables about universal concepts and themes offer a poet's sensuality and a philosopher's sensibility to personalizing the journey of the human experience in the world.

As For Sinclair Ross
by David StouckSinclair Ross (1908-1996), best known for his canonical novel As for Me and My House (1941), and for such familiar short stories as "The Lamp at Noon" and "The Painted Door," is an elusive figure in Canadian literature. A master at portraying the hardships and harsh beauty of the Prairies during the Great Depression, Ross nevertheless received only modest attention from the public during his lifetime. His reluctance to give readings or interviews further contributed to this faint public perception of the man. In As for Sinclair Ross, David Stouck tells the story of a lonely childhood in rural Saskatchewan, of a long and unrewarding career in a bank, and of many failed attempts to be published and to find an audience. The book also tells the story of a man who fell in love with both men and women and who wrote from a position outside any single definition of gender and sexuality. Stouck's biography draws on archival records and on insights gathered during an acquaintance late in Ross's life to illuminate this difficult author, describing in detail the struggles of a gifted artist living in an inhospitable time and place. Stouck argues that when Ross was writing about prairie farmers and small towns, he wanted his readers to see the kind of society they were creating, to feel uncomfortable with religion as coercive rhetoric, prejudices based on race and ethnicity, and rigid notions of gender. As for Sinclair Ross is the story of a remarkable writer whose works continue to challenge us and are rightly considered classics of Canadian literature.

As Gods: A Moral History of the Genetic Age
by Matthew CobbThe thrilling and terrifying history of genetic engineering In 2018, scientists manipulated the DNA of human babies for the first time. As biologist and historian Matthew Cobb shows in As Gods, this achievement was one many scientists have feared from the start of the genetic age. Four times in the last fifty years, geneticists, frightened by their own technology, have called a temporary halt to their experiments. They ought to be frightened: Now we have powers that can target the extinction of pests, change our own genes, or create dangerous new versions of diseases in an attempt to prevent future pandemics. Both awe-inspiring and chilling, As Gods traces the history of genetic engineering, showing that this revolutionary technology is far too important to be left to the scientists. They have the power to change life itself, but should we trust them to keep their ingenuity from producing a hellish reality?
As Gods Among Men: A History of the Rich in the West
by Guido AlfaniHow the rich and the super-rich throughout Western history accumulated their wealth, behaved (or misbehaved) and helped (or didn&’t help) their communities in times of crisis The rich have always fascinated, sometimes in problematic ways. Medieval thinkers feared that the super-rich would act 'as gods among men&’; much more recently Thomas Piketty made wealth central to discussions of inequality. In this book, Guido Alfani offers a history of the rich and super-rich in the West, examining who they were, how they accumulated their wealth and what role they played in society. Covering the last thousand years, with frequent incursions into antiquity, and integrating recent research on economic inequality, Alfani finds—despite the different paths to wealth in different eras—fundamental continuities in the behaviour of the rich and public attitudes towards wealth across Western history. His account offers a novel perspective on current debates about wealth and income disparity.Alfani argues that the position of the rich and super-rich in Western society has always been intrinsically fragile; their very presence has inspired social unease. In the Middle Ages, an excessive accumulation of wealth was considered sinful; the rich were expected not to appear to be wealthy. Eventually, the rich were deemed useful when they used their wealth to help their communities in times of crisis. Yet in the twenty-first century, Alfani points out, the rich and the super-rich—their wealth largely preserved through the Great Recession and COVID-19—have been exceptionally reluctant to contribute to the common good in times of crisis, rejecting even such stopgap measures as temporary tax increases. History suggests that this is a troubling development—for the rich, and for everyone else.
As Goes Bethlehem: Steelworkers and the Restructuring of an Industrial Working Class
by Jill A. SchennumThe steel industry played a central role in building post–World War II economic success in the US and in defining the parameters of the post–World War II social contract. As these long-term processes both preceded and contributed to the Great Recession, a new capitalism—one in which banks and the credit system took precedence over industrial production—changed the lives of many American workers, including steelworkers. As Goes Bethlehem raises important questions about why workers and their unions were not able to successfully contest this attack on industrial labor, instead settling for best navigating a long downward trajectory. Through the experiences and reflections of steelworkers, Jill A. Schennum demonstrates the significance of work, and particularly of industrial work, in giving meaning to people&’s lives, identities, and sense of worth. She uses workers&’ narratives and voices to show the importance of work space, time, and social relations, rejecting dominant interpretations of blue-collar workers as alienated from their work but well-paid and co-opted by a middle-class standard of living. Schennum covers thirty-five years of investment and disinvestment, managerial initiatives, transfer decisions, layoffs and downsizings, external transfers, the eventual bankruptcy of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, and movement into retirement, unemployment, and new postindustrial jobs. The very solidarities, rights of citizenship, and rule of law forged in the mill and built on by the union were constructed, in part, through exclusions based on race, ethnicity, gender, and region. These lines of fracture were mobilized to undermine working-class strength in the postindustrial period. Through the experiences of African American, Puerto Rican, coal country, and women workers in the steel mills, this book explores these issues of fracture and solidarity.
As Goes California: My Mission to Rescue the Golden State and Save the Nation
by Larry ElderIn an entertaining account of his surprisingly strong run for California governor in the 2021 recall election, bestselling author, commentator, and radio host Larry Elder argues that Democrats have systematically failed our country—especially black Americans.Throughout his years as a popular LA talk radio host, Larry Elder watched California go from bad to worse under a regime of corrupt and ideological liberal management. Rising rates of crime, addiction, homelessness, immigration, and failing schools, skyrocketing energy and housing costs, crushing anti-business regulation, and numerous other problems—all traceable to Democratic policies—made life harder for the average Californian. Then came the COVID lockdowns, school closings, mask and vaccine mandates, the BLM riots, the defund the police movement, and a general breakdown of law and order in San Francisco and LA. People began fleeing the state in droves. In the midst of all this, Governor Gavin Newsom saw fit to drop $12,000 at a trendy French restaurant, sparking outrage throughout the state and leading to demands for a recall. A special election was held, and forty-five candidates jumped in. Though not personally ambitious for office, Elder was strongly encouraged to run by numerous friends and associates. He performed extremely well, despite having no money or organization, constant sniping from his GOP rivals, and a relentlessly hostile media that absurdly labeled him &“the Black face of white supremacy&”—which is ironic, since Elder was the only candidate who paid any attention to the social and economic problems of Black people in America. Now, in As Goes California, Elder tells the story of his lightning campaign and derives from it important lessons on how a new generation of Republican candidates can fight, win, and save our country.

As Good As Dead: The Daring Escape of American POWs From a Japanese Death Camp (American War Heroes)
by Stephen L. MooreThe heroic story of eleven American POWs who defied certain death in World War II--As Good as Dead is an unforgettable account of the Palawan Massacre survivors and their daring escape. In late 1944, the Allies invaded the Japanese-held Philippines, and soon the end of the Pacific War was within reach. But for the last 150 American prisoners of war still held on the island of Palawan, there would be no salvation. After years of slave labor, starvation, disease, and torture, their worst fears were about to be realized. On December 14, with machine guns trained on them, they were herded underground into shallow air raid shelters--death pits dug with their own hands. Japanese soldiers doused the shelters with gasoline and set them on fire. Some thirty prisoners managed to bolt from the fiery carnage, running a lethal gauntlet of machine gun fire and bayonets to jump from the cliffs to the rocky Palawan coast. By the next morning, only eleven men were left alive--but their desperate journey to freedom had just begun. As Good as Dead is one of the greatest escape stories of World War II, and one that few Americans know. The eleven survivors of the Palawan Massacre--some badly wounded and burned--spent weeks evading Japanese patrols. They scrounged for food and water, swam shark-infested bays, and wandered through treacherous jungle terrain, hoping to find friendly Filipino guerrillas. Their endurance, determination, and courage in the face of death make this a gripping and inspiring saga of survival.From the Hardcover edition.
As Good As Gold: 1 Woman, 9 Sports, 10 Countries, and a 2-Year Quest to Make the Summer Olympics
by Kathryn BertineAt the age of thirty, elite triathlete Kathryn Bertine had no job, no home of her own, no direction, a canceled wedding, and just over $200 in her checking account.

ESPN The Magazine made her an offer she couldn't refuse: Bertine would have two years to make the 2008 Summer Olympic Gamesby any means necessary - as long as she survived to tell the tale.
As Good as Gold
by Kathrine Switzer Kathryn BertineImagine George Plimpton. Except with real athletic ability. And he's a woman. And she's taken on a challenge that makes Paper Lion look like a brisk game of Go Fish. Meet Kathryn Bertine, elite triathlete, former professional figure skater, and starving artist. Just as her personal and professional dreams begin to crumble in the summer of 2006, ESPN stakes her to a dream: Take two years to make the 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing. As Good As Gold is the heroic, hilarious account of Bertine's serial exertions in the realms of triathlon, modern pentathlon, team handball, track cycling, road cycling, rowing, open water swimming, racewalking, and--fasten your seatbelts--luge. On her journey, the obstacles range from jet lag to jellyfish, flat tires to floundering relationships, repeated rejection to road rash. But, as time is running out, Bertine doesn't sweat the small stuff, only the large--like scouring the globe for a tiny nation to adopt her, and pushing her body and mind as far as it will go. Maybe all the way to China. Between harrowing, often laugh-out-loud episodes of triumph and humiliation, Bertine takes short "Water Breaks" to contemplate the ins-and-outs of fan mail, failure, rehydration, nasal reconstruction, and how best to punish steroid users. Kathryn Bertine swims, runs, and rides--and writes--like a champion. In As Good as Gold, Bertine proves she has something more valuable than an Olympic medal. She's got Olympic mettle. When it comes to the human heart, she takes the gold.From the Hardcover edition.
As Good As I Could Be: A Memoir of Raising Wonderful Children in Difficult Times
by Susan CheeverThe author writes about the trials and joy of raising her children
As Good As I Could Be
by Susan CheeverHaving children transforms us -- by the amazing power of our love for them and theirs for us, by the anger they are able to evoke in us, and because in order to be good parents to our children, we must admit we are no longer children ourselves. In As Good as I Could Be, bestselling author Susan Cheever describes that transformation in passionate, compelling, moving prose. Susan is raising a daughter, 18, and a son, 11; they have all survived divorce, blending families, issues at school, eating disorders, and alcoholism. They have negotiated the rocky shoals of adolescence and the teenage years with their love and respect for each other intact. Cheever describes her children as smart, kind, and connected; As Good as I Could Be is the story of how that happened. Cheever reveals the challenges, the joys, and the heartbreaks of being a parent. Using the domestic details of her family's life, she illuminates larger truths, starting with the most basic: in order to raise happy, stable, successful children, parents can't be afraid to use their authority -- financial, emotional, and experiential; a family is not -- and should not be -- a democracy; teaching your children to celebrate their mistakes may help them to forgive you yours; and no matter how damaged or unhappy an adult's childhood was, it should not affect the way they parent their children. Provocative, perceptive, wise, and unflinchingly honest, As Good as I Could Be is a touchstone for all parents who are doing the best they can.
