Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2024Neither use nor ornament
A cultural biography of clutter and procrastination
by Tracey Potts
Neither use nor ornament is a book about personal productivity, told from the perspective of its obstacles: clutter and procrastination. It offers a challenge to the self-help promise of a clutter-free life, lived in a permanent state of efficiency and flow. The book reveals how contemporary projections of the good, productive life rely on images of failure. Riffing on the aphorism 'less is more' - a dominant refrain in present day productivity advice - it tells stories about streamlining, efficiency and tidiness over a time period of around 100 years. By focusing on the shadows of productivity advice, Neither use nor ornament seeks to unravel the moral narratives that hold individuals to account for their inefficiencies and muddles.

Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2021Feeling the strain
A cultural history of stress in twentieth-century Britain
by Jill Kirby
Examining the popular discourse of nerves and stress, this book provides a historical account of how ordinary Britons understood, explained and coped with the pressures and strains of daily life during the twentieth century. It traces the popular, vernacular discourse of stress, illuminating not just how stress was known, but the ways in which that knowledge was produced. Taking a cultural approach, the book focuses on contemporary popular understandings, revealing continuity of ideas about work, mental health, status, gender and individual weakness, as well as the changing socio-economic contexts that enabled stress to become a ubiquitous condition of everyday life by the end of the century. With accounts from sufferers, families and colleagues it also offers insight into self-help literature, the meanings of work and changing dynamics of domestic life, delivering a complementary perspective to medical histories of stress.

2022The Practice of Pharmacy
Textbook for pharmacy interns Handbook for the pharmacy
by Dr. Michael Sax, founded by Dr. Herbert Gebler and Dr. Gerd Kindl
After pharmacy studies have ended, the fascinating world of the pharmacy awaits – simultaneously varied and challenging. This is no problem with this well-established standard work to hand! The 7th edition, with a new editor and new structure, goes through the various stages of pharmacy operation. Beginning with the social mandate to supply medicines and then considering the organisational and economic orientation of a pharmacy, one delves ever deeper into its inner workings. In every area, the appropriate specific information can be found about pharmaceutical law and practice – whether this concerns the back office, over-the-counter medicines, dispensary and dispensing, or the supply of care homes, or preparation of cytotoxic drugs. In addition to the important topic “Dispensing of drugs and medical devices on prescription”, particular attention is paid to the principal activity in the pharmacy – giving advice on self-medication. The contents are based on the regulations for registration of pharmacists and the guidelines of the Federal Chamber of Pharmacists for the practical training of pharmacy interns in the pharmacy. The Practice of Pharmacy safely navigates the user through the practical training year and is the ideal preparation for the 3rd State Examination! Returnees, pharmacies that provide training and pharmacists of many years’ experience, will also benefit from this textbook and reference work.

Nobody's Fool
Why We End Up Just Where We Should
by Hillel Lerman
Ted and Jimmy have just completed their studies at the Georgetown University School of Law. They are about to leave the dorm room they have shared and head for home, but they argue. Jimmy claims that in a few short years he will be a U.S. senator. His father is a well-known lawyer and he will get his son elected. Ted says there’s no way; Jimmy’s not the senator type! Professor Carter, much admired by these two former students, happens to be passing by. They ask him if there is, indeed, such a thing as a "senator type," and if he thinks Jimmy will be able to fulfill his ambition. Carter’s response comes in the form of a highly unusual suggestion: to join him on a tour around the world, with two weeks at different locations across the globe to help further his research. "The question about Jimmy," he says, "is much larger. It concerns extremely important, basic principles that determine the paths people take in their lives." They will learn why George is a bus driver who spends every day making roundtrips between Washington and Baltimore, and why Edward is the British ambassador to Egypt. They are also going to get an answer to the question they posed to begin with. What Professor Carter doesn’t mention is that he is staking his entire academic career on these two students. The real reason for the invitation is that Carter desperately needs their help in proving a theory he has developed, one that is jeered by his faculty colleagues. "Decide quickly," he tells them. "We’ll be leaving very soon…." This inspirational novel artfully hammers the notion that there is no real difference between a university professor and a custodial worker; only their professions differ. Period. Unlike what we were programmed to believe, no person is smarter than another, and no person is more foolish, either. People are just people. The Chinese woman bending over in a rice paddy – just like the chief justice of the Supreme Court – has desires, ambitions, and dreams, feels happiness, sadness, and pain. This seemingly obvious truth has been presented clearly and convincingly in this fascinating tale, which captures the reader's mind and imagination from start to the surprising end. It is a journey of discovery with the human being as its destination, and veers off the beaten track to view familiar concepts like equality and racism from an entirely different perspective. This challenging quest takes the reader from the slums of Bombay to a soccer field in Buenos Aires, then to Brooklyn’s Borough Park neighborhood, and from there to the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Scene by scene, the thread of the story gradually unravels, revealing the code that leads human beings to the places they are in life. Why indeed is George a bus driver while Edward is a British ambassador? Nobody's Fool provides the answer. Hillel Lerman is an industrial engineer who has managed a number of startup companies from their onset, some of them reaching a successful exit, and also established three startup ventures of his own initiative. For many years he has been exploring philosophy, particularly in the area of determination and free choice. The author is married, with four children and a growing gang of grandchildren. He wrote this book while on a business trip, out of a sudden impulse, without financial or other motivation.

by Dr. Philipp Kircher, Elisabeth Remplik and Dr. Peter Killian

This new reference book provides ideal preparation and imparts the necessary information: - General advice on the handling of drugs and the principles of pharmacology - Description of common drug substances and particular aspects of their use in pregnancy, childbirth and lactation - Treatment options from complementary medicine and phytotherapy - Advice about correct diet The clear and concise presentation of facts as well as numerous illustrations make it easier to understand and grasp the content.
