July 2021My Life with Viruses
A researcher’s history of the fascinating world of pathogens
by Ernst-Ludwig Winnacker in association with Jeanne Rubner
In times of the coronavirus pandemic many people have certainly condemned them, but Professor Ernst-Ludwig Winnacker has dedicated his life to researching them and is intrigued by viruses – even if sometimes he is keenly aware of their fatal effects. To mark his 80th birthday the biochemist describes the co-evolution and co-existence as well as the eternal ‘battle’ between humans and viruses. Winnacker takes up the cause of these ‘biological elements between animate and inanimate nature’ because they play an important role in fundamental research and genetic technology, and without them human beings would not be what they are.

by Jean-Pierre Wils
Chaos flourishes beneath the surface – a deep fissure runs through our society Inside the pressure-cooker of the coronavirus pandemic, we see more clearly the volatile status of how we live together. Why were we unprepared, in spite of the numerous warnings over the years? Jean-Pierre Wils speculates that our society, which is already marked by tension and hectic stalemate, is riven by a deep division. In this case, the reality of the crisis triggered by the pandemic is only the prelude to a much deeper crisis: climate change. But how can we manage it? To do so Wils advocates for a “culture of interim solutions” – a culture of thoughtfulness, soul-searching, slowing down and reorienting towards social and ecological sustainability ...

Business & managementDilemma Management
Joined up thinking for our fragmented times
by Tony Morden
Dilemma Management is harsh work for the harsh and changing times in the UK. This book has been written to challenge the reader, maybe even to disconcert him or her. The author makes absolutely no apology for questioning outdated professional wisdoms or established paradigms, arguing that a large upward step change is urgently needed in professional mindset and competence in this country, and especially in a post-Coronavirus era. Tony defines and describes the process of dilemma management and illustrates this process with a variety of case studies from business, politics, healthcare, procurement, security, sport and more generally from the taxpayer-funded public sector.
