How has the tobacco control movement become such a significant force in shaping contemporary public policy, social norms, and the habits of millions of Americans? In this first such detailed study by a sociologist, Wolfson documents how the movement has grown over nearly three decades by building an infrastructure of health organizations and health professionals, and by fostering relationships with governement. Rich in survey data, extensive interviews, and archival sources, this text is essential reading for courses in social problems, social movements, and public health. The general reader will also find it engaging.

La bioéthique est née à la fin des années 60, à la foi protestation contre la médecine scientifique qui avait perdu le sens de la compassion médicale, et pour intégrer de façon responsable les progrès biomédicaux à l'ensemble de la vie sociale. Dans le contexte politique, juridique et culturel américain, elle s'est rapidement institutionnalisée dans le droit du patient à prendre toute décision médicale qui le concerne. La nature même de la médecine, en particulier la relation médecin-patient, en a été transformée: des comités d'éthique sont chargés d'arbitrer les conflits qui ne cessent de naître autour du respect ou non des quatre principes de la bioéthique - l'autonomie, la bienfaisance, la non-malfaisance et la justice - eux-mêmes mis en question par les courants nouveaux que sont aujourd'hui le communautarisme, l'éthique de la vertu ou l'éthique féministe. Les lecteurs de culture française trouveront ici de quoi mieux cerner la nature de l'entreprise bioéthique américaine qui exerce un incontestable leadership dans ce domaine.

This book looks specifically at clinical trials - those research studies that involve the active participation of people to test the safety and effectiveness of new medical treatments. The majority of clinical trials are sponsored by pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies. The purpose of the book is to present facts, information and case examples in order for you to make an informed decision about participating in a trial. What should you expect? What kinds of questions should you ask? How can you minimize your risk? The book begins with a brief history about the industry, a discussion of the drug development process and what is involved in bringing a new drug to market. What are your rights as a study volunteer? What is informed consent and what are specific federal regulations and guidelines that protect your safety and ethical treatment? Next the book describes the process of participating in a clinical trial. How do you volunteer for a study? How can you identify the appropriate trials for your condition or that of a family member or friend? The book also contains ideas and impressions from people who have actually participated in clinical trials.

From Eusebio Kino to Daniel Berrigan, and from colonial New England to contemporary Seattle, Jesuits have built and disrupted institutions in ways that have fundamentally shaped the Catholic Church and American society. As Catherine O’Donnell demonstrates, Jesuits in French, Spanish, and British colonies were both evangelists and agents of empire. John Carroll envisioned an American church integrated with Protestant neighbors during the early years of the republic; nineteenth-century Jesuits, many of them immigrants, rejected Carroll’s ethos and created a distinct Catholic infrastructure of schools, colleges, and allegiances. The twentieth century involved Jesuits first in American war efforts and papal critiques of modernity, and then (in accord with the leadership of John Courtney Murray and Pedro Arrupe) in a rethinking of their relationship to modernity, to other faiths, and to earthly injustice. O’Donnell’s narrative concludes with a brief discussion of Jesuits’ declining numbers, as well as their response to their slaveholding past and involvement in clerical sexual abuse.
