In scarcely any other area of pharmacotherapy has the state of knowledge recently developed at comparable speed. Experts from a variety of fields are constantly working to generate new scientific evidence for the therapeutic use of cannabis and/or cannabinoids and to provide patients with quality-assured medicinal cannabis. This book is the first to give representatives of all relevant areas of expertise the chance to speak. Alongside medical-therapeutic aspects, they address such questions as cultivation, quality assurance, patient care practices and patient counselling. The result of this accumulated knowledge and skill is a unique overall picture that, for the first time, combines and consolidates the current legal and scientific framework of medicinal cannabis provision! All facts have been painstakingly researched and checked. The result is a scientifically valid work, which sets the standard. This excellent compendium is indispensable for everyone who comes into contact with cannabis for professional or personal reasons.

MedicineMay 2013Therapeutic landscapes
A history of English hospital gardens since 1800
by Clare Hickman
Therapeutic landscapes uniquely brings together historical and contemporary debates on the use of the garden as a therapeutic space. Hickman narrates the story of the landscapes associated with psychiatric, general and specialist medical institutions and asks what did they look like, how were they used and how did this relate to medical concepts? It traces the history of these gardens from the grottos, Chinese galleries and summer houses of elite nineteenth-century lunatic asylums, through Florence Nightingale's championing of the Victorian pavilion hospital design with its courtyard gardens, and the open-air institutions of the Edwardian period with their revolving chalets. It concludes with a discussion of new hospital gardens being created by designers such as Dan Pearson in the twenty-first century. This book will be essential reading for those interested in the histories of place, space and material culture, and in particular medical historians, garden historians and historical geographers. ;

November 2008Visionen an der Bucht von San Francisco
Amerikanische Essays
by Miłosz Czesław, Sven Sellmer, Peter Oliver Loew
Die Amerika-Essays, die der polnische Nobelpreisträger Czeslaw Milosz vor fast 40 Jahren veröffentlichte und die nun erstmals auf deutsch erscheinen, haben nichts an Frische eingebüßt. Zehn Jahre, nachdem sich der aus dem Osten stammende Autor ganz im Westen der westlichen Welt, bei San Francisco, niedergelassen hatte, schrieb er ein sehr persönliches Buch, eine Reise zu sich selbst: »Wenn man nirgendwohin zurückkehren kann, muß man das Gegebene akzeptieren. Doch wie soll man damit zurechtkommen? Wie soll man es sich aneignen? Und dabei geht es nicht so sehr um Amerika, sondern um die Zivilisation des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts in ihrer kalifornischen Spielart.« Milosz schreibt über die großartige, aber auch furchteinflößende Natur der amerikanischen Westküste, über die Rolle des Intellektuellen in der amerikanischen Gesellschaft, über Zensur, Henry Miller, Herbert Marcuse, die Religion und immer wieder über den Mythos Amerika. Ein großartiges Panorama seiner Zeit und ein persönliches Bekenntnis zugleich. Die New York Times schrieb: »Milosz klingt wie jemand, der Schritt um Schritt direkt aus der Geschichte kommt und verwundert, aber auch dankbar darüber ist, die unhistorische Luft Kaliforniens atmen zu können.«

January 2013My Life with Lifers
by Elaine Leeder
My Life With Lifers Lessons For A Teacher: Humanity Has No Bars "I have always been drawn to darkness," Elaine Leeder writes. "I know I always championed the underdog." As a sociology professor at Ithaca College in the 1990s, she began teaching at Elmira Correctional Facility in upstate New York. When she moved to California, that same desire to help led her to the prison education program at San Quentin. Then, inspired by her lessons, a group of Leeder's students approached her about working with a program the prisoners had established to aid in their long and difficult process of redemption and transformation. She accepted. These members of New Leaf on Life-the San Quentin "lifers"-have been sentenced to terms ranging from fifteen years to life in prison. Unlike Death Row inmates, who will either die in prison or be executed, many of the lifers are eligible for parole after having spent twenty to thirty years behind bars. But too often, they never see that opportunity because of the popular view that they are all "hardened criminals," killers incapable of rehabilitation and unfit to be free. What Leeder has learned, however, is that incarceration does not dictate character. Her students, although they are convicts, are committed to making their time in jail a life sentence in the best sense, not a death sentence. They have gone the extra mile to come to terms with their crimes, and have often managed to redeem their lives. My Life With Lifers shares the journey of a woman "on the outside" as she discovered the true nature of life in prison, and the roadblocks-so many of them unneeded-on the inmates' path to freedom. What Leeder's experiences add up to is both a fascinating human story and a reasoned and impassioned case for prison reform.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2022Reconstructing lives
Victims of war in the Middle East and Médecins Sans Frontières
by Vanja Kovacic, Bertrand Taithe
This book attempts to establish a more holistic approach to the rehabilitation of war-injured civilians, one that adjusts to the patients' long-term needs. Kovacic not only offers an insight into the daily realities of patients during and after rehabilitation, but seeks to develop a new way to perceive, respect and involve them in health care. Based on comprehensive interviews with patients and MSF staff, as well as extended field observations, Reconstructing lives follows Syrian and Iraqi war-injured civilians in their journey to recovery. From their improvised medical treatment in their home countries, to the MSF-run hospital in Amman Jordan, to their return home, Kovacic explores how individuals attempt to pick up the pieces of their previous lives, add new elements from their treatment and travel experiences, and finally establish a new reconstructed reality. The book explores how the interaction between MSF staff and their patients contributes to the immense task of healing that awaits victims of war. The reader visits the intimate medical and domestic spaces that usually remain closed to the outside observer, spaces rich with human contact, perceptions, emotions, conflicts and reconciliations.
