Medicine / Healthcare: general issues / topics Books
Taylor & Francis Ltd Philosophy of Molecular Medicine
Book SynopsisPhilosophy of Molecular Medicine: Foundational Issues in Theory and Practice aims at a systematic investigation of a number of foundational issues in the field of molecular medicine. The volume is organized around four broad modules focusing, respectively, on the following key aspects: What are the nature, scope, and limits of molecular medicine? How does it provide explanations? How does it represent and model phenomena of interest? How does it infer new knowledge from data and experiments? The essays collected here, authored by prominent scientists and philosophers of science, focus on a handful of mainstream topics in the philosophical literature, such as causation, explanation, modeling, and scientific inference. These previously unpublished contributions shed new light on these traditional topics by integrating them with problems, methods, and results from three prominent areas of contemporary biomedical science: basic research, tranTrade ReviewPhilosophy of Molecular Medicine offers 12 insightful chapters of philosophical and historical reflections on foundational issues in molecular medicine. This edited volume offers a rich introduction to and discussion of important philosophical issues that arise at the interface of basic science, clinical research, and clinical practice.-Sara Green, SpringerTable of ContentsIntroduction Giovanni Boniolo and Marco J.

University of Alberta Press At the Interface of Culture and Medicine
Book SynopsisFourteen essays open important dialogue in the emerging field of culture and medicine.Trade Review"This important book fills a major gap in medical education. With the increasing diversity of medical schools' populations (undergraduate residency, staff, and faculty) culture and diversity in medicine is a critically important area to address. The authors cover the recent literature on relevant subjects, taking what are often complicated topics and presenting them in a reasonable, accessible, and readable manner. At the Interface of Culture and Medicine is directed to a wide audience: undergraduate medical students, staff, and faculty (both professional and clinical), as well as in the other health professions." Blye Frank, Dean of the Faculty of Education, UBC"This collection makes a key contribution to the topic of culture, medicine, and health care, with sound scholarship presented in a readable style. The book focuses on end-of-life care, language, international medical graduates, and specific cultural groups. In the conclusion, the editors also suggest topics worthy of future research. This book will be of interest to medical educators, medical sociologists, anthropologists, geographers, health professional educators, and health policy groups." Peri Ballantyne, Associate Professor, Department of Sociology, Trent University"Waugh (religious studies, U. of Alberta), Szafran (family medicine, U. of Alberta) and Crutcher (family medicine, U. of Calgary) introduce this collection of 13 essays as an interrogation into the limits of and responses by medicine practiced under the "biomedical model" in a multicultural society. Many essays look at aboriginal and folk understandings of health issues. The contributors, who include doctors, social scientists, a cultural geographer, a community planner, a religion scholars and native healer, focus on Canadian subjects and society, but at times go beyond Canada when exploring aboriginal experiences of biomedicine. Bracketed by an editorial introduction and conclusion, the book is divided into four sections with essays organized around cultural issues surrounding end of life care; cultural assimilation in medical training; cultural and linguistic competence in the delivery of care; and multicultural perspectives on the definition of health. In addition to tables of information, the work includes world-maps depicting distribution factors in the background of applicants for Alberta's International Medical Graduate Program." Reference and Research Book News"I believe our book challenges and encourages, and provides insight into specific dimensions of the culture and medicine interface: end of life care, IMG issues, cultural competence and language, and ethnic diversity in health care. Much of this book has to do with communication. We know well the importance of good communication to good health-care outcomes and quality in health care. If this book helps to contribute to these outcomes, then that's great." Dr. Rod Crutcher, The Medical Post"The authors of this book do not ask for drastic changes, rather for recognition of the room within Canada's health care for improvement, especially in the treatment of minorities. The major theme, often repeated quite baldly.is a need for more cultural competence among our health care professionals." Marina Parapini, Pacific Rim Review of Books"This edited volume asks, and begins to answer, important questions.... Waugh, Szafran and Crutcher present a variety of perspectives about Canadian efforts to expand the cultural consciousness of existing practices and practitioners, looking at immigrant Chinese, Francophone and Muslim issues as well as Aboriginal needs and approaches.... [T]his collection goes beyond thematic good intentions to explore challenging and practical examples of intercultural innovation and understanding. It is therefore a useful tool for practitioners and researchers interested in this vital and potentially lifesaving interface for healing." Carol Burbank, Indigenous Peoples, Issues & Resources"Many of the essays specifically address issues within the Canadian medical system but are pertinent to other countries, especially the United States.... The focus on cultural differences between providers and patients and the psychosocial aspects of health care directly relates to transcultural medicine curricula.... Overall, the authors of this edited book have compiled a diverse collection of educational essays examining the cultural and ethnic factors that influence the care of patients. This collection is sure to improve the readers' underlying understanding and knowledge base related to transcultural medicine and is pertinent to medical students and family medicine residents."

Cambridge University Press Measuring and Reasoning
Book SynopsisIn Measuring and Reasoning, Fred L. Bookstein examines the way ordinary arithmetic and numerical patterns are translated into scientific understanding, showing how the process relies on two carefully managed forms of argument: Abduction: the generation of new hypotheses to accord with findings that were surprising on previous hypotheses, and Consilience: the confirmation of numerical pattern claims by analogous findings at other levels of measurement. These profound principles include an understanding of the role of arithmetic and, more importantly, of how numerical patterns found in one study can relate to numbers found in others. More than 200 figures and diagrams illuminate the text. The book can be read with profit by any student of the empirical nature or social sciences and by anyone concerned with how scientists persuade those of us who are not scientists why we should credit the most important claims about scientific facts or theories.Table of ContentsPart I. The Basic Structure of a Numerical Inference: 1. Getting started; 2. Consilience as a rhetorical strategy; 3. Abduction and strong inference; Part II. A Sampler of Strategies: 4. The undergraduate course; Part III. Numerical Inference for General Systems: 5. Abduction and consilience in more complicated systems; 6. The singular value decomposition: a family of pattern engines for organized systems; 7. Morphometrics, and other examples; Part IV. What Is to Be Done?: 8. Retrospect and prospect.
